"Apple Pay, Cash App, PayPal and other apps to be treated more like banks

Some digital services look like banks and act like banks, but aren’t banks — meaning they can, for instance, close down your account without notice. Or be difficult to contact when you want to dispute fraud.

This is about to change: the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has just ruled that all digital services that handle a significant number of transactions should be subject to bank-like supervision. The government agency will gain new powers around incorrect transactions, fraudulent activity, data privacy, and more."

No Game No Life is a very good anime, although you might have to be savvier in anime to get it more.

As interesting as it is to watch posts trickle in over the bridge, I have other things to do.

I'm seeing posts going over the Bluesky bridge quicker and quicker.

There are now a few posts getting through the Bluesky bridge (to Bluesky) but the majority are still waiting on Bluesky to fix it on their end.

New accounts are still not being bridged to Bluesky.

This instance is having issues in interacting with posts (liking / boosting).

There were complaints about censorship on Amazon a few years ago.

Just dipped my toes into #BasisVR, a #VRChat-like decentralized system/framework for social VR.

One of the issues with current implementations of #socialVR generally is instances are all being run on a centralized service, so when that goes to hell by asteroid or pocketbook, so too goes the entire service; the exodus that happens is problematic.

With Basis and a proper federated backend like #ActivityPub or did:web, we could have the first social VR “non-platform” truly for the masses.
