atirip commented on I fought the PayPal and I won   jessesingal.substack.com/... · Posted by u/exolymph

I haven't been using PayPal since more than 5 years.

For quick transfers I can use Revolut. For buying something I can use card. For easy payment integration with Web apps there are countless tools.

So I am wondering what use cases PayPal still serves, use cases which aren't already better covered by better means. Why pay heavy commissions to PayPal?

I only buy from merchants that offer PayPal (there are few I trust by card, like Amazon). And the reason is that whatever it happens, I can always get my money back with PayPal. It happened 3 times in last 5 years that seller took the money and never shipped anything. I got all them resolved very quickly.

> Reels usage is still growing

But of course, as Meta put gun to the head of everyone - you WILL make Reels, or else - and now all the people I follow, increasingly make Reels. I hate Reels.

Drip Europe | Frontend Engineer | Full Time | Remote, but significant overlap (at least 4 hours) with Central European Time | https://www.drip.com

We’re an ecommerce marketing automation platform that’s generated more than $2 billion in revenue for our customers since 2018, and we’re only getting smarter and better at what we do: help independent retail thrive.

We’re looking for a frontend engineer that knows Javascript very well for Drip Onsite Team. We write lots of Vanilla Javascript that should not affect our customer’s performance or functionality, no matter how good or bad their website is made. Also, many of our customers do not know how to code, so we’ve built a flexible yet easy-to-use HTML editor to help them make their campaigns. In short, we get to solve some pretty technical problems for a lot of non-technical users.

Specifically, we’re looking for someone who is not primarily a framework user but who likes to tinker with problems no one has discovered before. Pragmatic, not politician. Can ask questions and give answers.

Apply here: https://www.drip.com/careers/dfd748af-c99a-40be-95e8-b06ec3c...

Most my coworkes are introverts. We do not do anything above. Unexpected enough? And we are lean and mean highly functional team. The most helpful for my team is let people be themselves and not force rituals.

Oh for fucks sake people. There seems to be 5 lines of text on that page and to see them I needed to turn off content blockers. Jeez…

Find a hobby. Something that is not work related and take it seriously. I don’t know - start cooking, invest into obscure LP’s, vintage fashion, start collecting stamps, racing cars. PS! Going to gym and travelling is not a hobby.
atirip commented on Adele gets Spotify to take shuffle button off all album pages   bbc.co.uk/news/entertainm... · Posted by u/simonswords82

> I HATE the shuffle play, and find it horribly grating when I start playing an album from the first track, and find that Spotify has decided to toggle shuffle on again, despite me always turning it off

iPhone music player (Music.app; formerly iTunes.app) does exactly the same shit. I find Tim Cook efficient at making once great built-in iOS and maCOS apps annoying or barely useful.

I am Apple Music customer since beginning and not once has been shuffle turned on automatically.
