Do they say anywhere who that payment service provider is? And are there options for who to use?

I want to pay for stuff, so the creators are rewarded, and then I own a copy.

But until then…

Please provide more info - I would like to learn more about this subject!
That is a great find. Thank you!
Totally. And that “legitimate interest” nonsense takes ages to click through 🤦

Paddy66@lemmy.mlOPto Privacy@lemmy.ml•UK petition to ban harvesting of behavioural metadata for ads1·2 months agoI do support them already 😊
But you’re right about this government - they just got exposed for being corrupt with big tech https://archive.is/DlUeE

It suggests to me that the web hosting company we are using don’t know what they’re doing. We’re going to change.
Paddy66@lemmy.mlOPto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Privacy is a team sport - how do we get more people to play?English0·2 months agoThe site is hosting by a hosting company - and they assure me that the cert is fine.
If I was self hosting I’d expect these problems, but not with a hosting company.
The only difference with this company is that they do not use any big tech infrastructure - they have their own servers. I wonder if big tech has something they don’t…?

I actually mis-applied that term in my post. I’ve been trying to learn about tech, and self hosting in particular, along this journey. I found that ‘normies’ is the term that tech-savvy people apply to people who don’t know about tech - i.e. me! - and I started using it. In the sense of “these install instructions will never work with normies”.
In this context I shouldn’t have used it to refer to people who do not care about data privacy. I’ll edit my post.
Thank you for pointing that out!
lol I thought this was a guerrilla IT warfare post where you snuck in and did it, but you actually did it with permission… 😂
Serious question: has communism ever been proved to work at scale? (not communist regimes, the communist ideology)
As long as software is available in the Software Manager to be installed that way… I don’t care what format it’s in.
But don’t make normies go to the terminal. It’s inhumane, and really does not help the masses get away from big tech - which is a worthier goal than keeping your software terminal-only.
