oh my godddd i hate this weird fucking mobile payments future where sending someone money on the internet keeps shoving you towards a phone app
i asked my friend how to pay her, she offered a thing i hadn't heard of and one that requires me to reinstall zelle because last i checked there's no web app
then she suggested paypal and asked what her paypal email was and she sent me a QR code instead
the QR code directs you to the google play store if you don't have the app installed
PAYPAL HAS A WEB UI. WHY ALL THIS.
@MindmeshLink paypal dot me exists it's so convenient aaa
@noiob i mean, that has its own issues, like the fact that you can never change your paypal.me url
@MindmeshLink it's a bit inconvenient but you can apparently ask customer support to change it for you
@noiob oh i didn't know that, interesting
@MindmeshLink it's weird that they don't just let you change it, maybe it'd be too much of a fraud vector?
@MindmeshLink idk it feels like a weird afterthought
like you'd think matching the @ exactly would bring it up first in search results but actually a matching display name comes up first, sent quite a bit of money to someone's wrong account because of it once
