Do you take this man to be your husband? We've sent a six digit code to your phone, please repeat it for yes.

[–] GeneralVincent@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I didn't get it.

Oh shoot I just got it after I pressed the button to get a new one. Now I have to wait for a new one... or can I just type the first one...??

Now you receive 2 more and none of the 3 codes you've received work. You're out of tries. We've locked your account for security reasons, please check your email address from 1999 to reset your password and try again in 3 business days.

You know what... I want a divorce now

It’s so unbelievably annoying that PayPal doesn’t let you use whatever display name you want to. Not everyone uses their legal name in their social life.

I understanding needing you know your customer, but why not let me set what my display name is?!

[–] CheezyWeezle@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

? Does PayPal not allow this? PayPal has always called me "Praxis" lmao

[–] PM_ME_YOUR_SNDCLOUD@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

They may have at one point but they do not now.

So are all PayPal users trans, or just dumb cuz they use proprietary software?

[–] I_like_cats@lemmy.one 62 points 2 years ago (3 children)

What? This meme is about a transaction between two trans people but that doesn't mean all Paypal users are trans. But I agree that PayPal is proprietary software and should be banished. I will delete my account now. I planned to do it for a while but haven't got around to it yet

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 years ago

I assumed that this is supposed to be the norm, but yeh, funny meme. Good luck with getting your account removed.

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 years ago

I will delete my account now.

this is really funny to me but I don't know how to explain why

I never had a PayPal but I know my dad did and he very strongly recommended I don't get one, that they are bad for a lot of reasons, so I just never got one.

[–] HKayn@dormi.zone 45 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Are you dumb because the device you're on uses proprietary firmware?

Naw, the meme just makes it appear negative that they don't see what's going on with their money. I I interpreted that as them being ignorant of what happens with their money, yet still use the service. Which yes, I would consider dumb... Just my opinion though, feel free to share yours.

Edit: Oh right, forgot to answer the question. I use graphene OS, so no worries about evil Google snacking on my data. (And Jerboa for Lemmy)

To be clear, the meme is that PayPal shows the users' dead names (presumably because the account was set up prior to their transition/legal reasons)

The "I do not see it" is referencing "not seeing" the dead names in the transaction details.

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 years ago

OOOOh, okay I didn't get that one. Thanks for clearing that up. Actually didn't notice that.

[–] HKayn@dormi.zone 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But you didn't replace the proprietary bootloader, did you?

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

True, I didn't. You got me there, I'm a proprietary bootloader using, apples feet kissing, winbliws using consoomer... Is it possible to change the bootloader on a pixel 6?

[–] FluffyPotato@lemm.ee 18 points 2 years ago

I just made a new account and deleted the old one when I needed to change the name. It's stupid but it worked.

[–] FirstMajesticComet@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is it hard to change your name on Paypal or something?

[–] floridaman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think a lot of payment gateways require you to use your legal name, so if someone hasn't gone through all the paperwork legally then your PayPal will have to say whatever is on your birth certificate
