Google not required to refund victims of gift card scams, judge rules by Veedem in c/technology@lemmy.world
[-] Veedem@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

I don’t think you understand how determined the buyers are once they’ve been convinced by the scammer. I used to work for a major retailer that had signs at the register AND messages that the customer had to accept on the signature pad confirming they didn’t believe they were being scammed before going through with the purchase.

Additionally, my team was instructed to call me over any time they had a customer who they felt was being scammed to try to talk to them. Sometimes, I was successful, but other times I wasn’t. There is still one guy who goes in weekly to buy $500 of various gift cards for his overseas “girlfriend” on WhatsApp. I tried talking to him multiple times and he became increasingly angry at the conversation. I just had to accept I couldn’t help him.

Photon, on mobile browser, seems to “snap” to the beginning of each post when scrolling. Is there a way to turn this feature off?

Where to find Marketplace support? (lemmy.world)
submitted 5 months ago by Veedem@lemmy.world to c/minecraft@lemmy.world
4 comments fedilink

Long story short, my son plays Minecraft on the iPad and used some gold coins to purchase an add-on (“TNT!”) from the marketplace. Unlike other addons that work fine, this one gives a “Download Failed” error message every time he tries to install it. I can not, for the life of me, figure out where a support option is for Mojang to help resolve the issue or refund the coins. Does anyone here have any suggestions?

Door hinge pin keeps coming up. How to solve? (lemmy.world)
submitted 6 months ago by Veedem@lemmy.world to c/homeimprovement@lemmy.world
13 comments fedilink

Looking for help in solving a problem where the lower door hinge pin on my entry door keeps creeping up and causing the deadbolt to become slightly misaligned making it more difficult to lock. Reading online, I keep coming across suggestions of tightening a screw that’s supposed to lock the pin in place but my hinges don’t seem to have that screw.

Anyone have any other ideas on how to fix this problem?

Reddit Insiders Selling Days After IPO; Shares Fall by Veedem in c/news@lemmy.world
[-] Veedem@lemmy.world 293 points 7 months ago

He sold about 500,000 shares. He owned, apparently, 3.3% of the 17.06 million total shares of the company, meaning he had a little over 562,000 shares. He sold almost all of his shares. That doesn't exactly exude confidence in future growth, IMO.

I guess they’re going all in on Austin Wells. Wasn’t Rortvedt the next big thing a year ago?

This is a roundabout way for billionaires to donate to Trump without him having to necessarily disclose everything.

[MacOS] Anti-virus recommendations? (lemmy.world)

Looking for some insight into what everyone is using for antivirus. I have AVG a whirl but I experienced some weird stuttering on my M2 MacBook Air, so obviously I want something that is minimally impactful on performance while still being accurate.

Thank you and a suggestion (lemmy.world)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by Veedem@lemmy.world to c/arctic@lemmy.world

First of all, just wanted to say thank you. I’ve come over from a different app that I paid for and then it has been, mostly, abandoned. I appreciate the feature set and thought put into Arctic and have donated a bit through the BuyMeACoffee link.

One suggestion/wish: Can you please change the “< Subscriptions” button to something like a hamburger menu icon instead? Here’s my thought process: The current button points backwards which, generally, acts as a navigation to the previous screen one was on. However, in this case, starting on the chosen default tab, there’s nothing really to go back to, yet. Turning this into a menu button gives a better indication of its function and looks more aesthetically pleasing (IMO)

Either way, thanks for the great app and I look forward to your work in the future

Texas Supreme Court temporarily blocks ruling that allowed woman emergency abortion by Veedem in c/news@lemmy.world

Anyone else remember, in the lead up to the ObamaCare vote, when the GOP used the idea of government officials (death panels) deciding who should get treatment and who should die as a fear mongering tactic?

The Reddit Protest Is Finally Over. Reddit Won. by Veedem in c/technology@lemmy.world
[-] Veedem@lemmy.world 361 points 1 year ago

It was to be expected, but I found Lemmy because of everything that happened, uninstalled Reddit, and now use Mastodon and Lemmy as my social media platforms of choice, so it’s a personal win.

Hopefully, as Lemmy continues to thrive, instances hold up to the pressure of growth and we see an influx of content that made Reddit so valuable to users and Reddit corporate alike.
