Technology@beehaw.org•Apple Pay, Cash App, and other digital wallets will be regulated more like banks now
5·1 year agoThere’s a secondary problem.
If a user has money in their account and the app creator goes under, they lose access but the actual bank hasn’t failed. Insurance on the account doesn’t kick in because there’s no bank failure to mitigate, but the user still doesn’t have access to their money before.
These regulations weren’t written with banking-as-a-service in mind, and don’t hold up well now that it’s not a weird edge case but a primary way companies provide banking services.

Gaming@beehaw.org•What are some good games that have a bad reputation due to unreasonable expectations?
3·2 years agoDefinitely No Man’s Sky
It was bad at launch, sure, but the expectations of the game were way outta proportion to what a game could deliver on
I would use some kind of CAD software to design a backplate, making sure to add things like physical supports with screwholes that match your motherboard’s mount points and vents at the right spots. You can get things like that 3-D printed, would be an inexpensive way to prototype it :)

41·2 years agoHave some empathy. These aren’t oligarchs plotting a foreign war, these are everyday people (half the country!) being forced into poverty.
I sympathize with the large flaws in Lemmy that cause huge problems for moderators. I’d personally prefer to stay with it and continue to push the devs / community for upstream bugfixes (through PRs, open issues, or bug bounties), but I do understand if that becomes unmaintainable.
If the user experience on a new platform is similar I’d likely stay; if it does change significantly, I most likely would switch to actively use a different Lemmy instance.

Using the viscera of the fire/emergency victims you’re helping to traumatize your colleague is horrifying. I’m glad she’s following through on getting what she’s owed
