@Chrishallbeck it is the concussion that makes that stick figure believe they are a sandwich.
@masterofthetiger@theres.life VPNs will also set off fraud sensors .
I'm just trying to explain why I think you're having this particular issue based on my experience working with various payment processors and internet sales in general.
I ask for ID when I get people ordering items to be delivered to a different state than their billing address, for instance. It's even more serious when you're a payment processor like GoFundMe/Kickstarter and money is being sent to someone.
@masterofthetiger@theres.life Yeah, but you see an American Zip code, American address info coming from an Eastern European IP address and it's going to set of fraud flags with fraud detection services like maxmind and the like.
With how credit card disputes work (This is something I handle for my company, answering disputes/chargebacks) it's a very big 'Cover Your Butt' thing to ask for ID and the rest. Shows that they did all that is reasonable to protect against fraud.
@SecondJon @masterofthetiger@theres.life You're in Eastern Europe right now, yeah?
@HowLibertyDies Acorn computing came up with the RISC idea and created the first ARM processors, is what I mean. And so we're looking at the great grand children of those first Acorn processors.
@HowLibertyDies ARM is a direct followup to the whole 8-bit computer thing. Acorn was way ahead of their time in a lot of ways.
However, yeah. With a manual and a bit of time it probably be very doable to build a simple 8-bit system that could do the same things as a Sinclair Spectrum or BBC Micro or the like.
@root Team Rainbow good. Questionable to associate themselves with what amounts to the pokemon trafficking mafia, though.,
@HowLibertyDies Hah! Honestly, I loved the show. I'm looking forward to seeing how the second season plays out.
Talkin' Bout Earwax. Asking for help.
@HowLibertyDies I'm actually seeing a doctor for this tomorrow morning. Thank you though, I always appreciate a response! :)
@HowLibertyDies Yeah dude, 'The Hero with a Thousand Faces' is classic.
@HowLibertyDies For instance, if you're reporting, say, a violent altercation and the pictures are bloody messes, it's a good idea to CW the post and image just in case someone isn't in a place where that be a good thing to look at.
@HowLibertyDies Anyone can 'Content Warn' or CW a post. IT can be used however the user chooses. Good rules of thumb are to use it with particularly long posts, anything involving graphic imagery (Pictures or text wise.)
@root I'm pretty sure that making pokemon commit crimes is bad. Team Rocket bad. :(
@HowLibertyDies The show more button is baked into Mastodon code. There isn't any way around it.
@quokka it also has a mathematical proof of the non-existence of god using a flat tax form.
