Which instance would you use instead of lemmy.zip?

From another post

Lemmy.world is too big  
sh.itjust.works names contains "shit", which can deter users  
lemmy.ca is Canadian-centric  
feddit.org, is German-centric, but technically English speaking too  
dbzer0 is topic focused  
programming.dev is topic-centric  
blahaj is queer-focused  
discuss.tchncs.de has a difficult name  
lemmy.sdf.org does not defederate anyone  
beehaw defederates LW and SJW  
infosec.pub is topic-centric  
aussie.zone is country-centric  
midwest.social is region-centric

There's a reason lemm.ee was the previous default instance.

Is there a quick way to know which instance might need mods? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

!fedigrow@lemm.ee

If you are looking for a new home after lemm.ee shutting down, consider communick.news in c/meta@lemm.ee

Curious, the offering has been around for a while

So where are people going? in c/meta@lemm.ee
[–] Blaze@piefed.social 4 points 2 days ago

Seems like between 150 and 200 people registered on Lemmy.zip

It will be a community by community discussion. I mod a few lemm.ee communities, we'll have separate polls in each of them.

[Meta] The community has spoken, we are now moving to !casualconversation@lemm.ee in c/casualconversation@lemmy.world
[–] Blaze@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago

I'll organize a vote in the coming days on !casualconversation@lemm.ee

Google Wallet is losing access to PayPal (www.theverge.com)
 

Google Wallet will soon no longer let you pay with your PayPal account in the US. On a help center page spotted by Android Authority, Google says it will stop supporting the payment method and automatically delete linked PayPal accounts on June 13th, 2025.

The company has also stopped letting users link PayPal accounts to Wallet as of April 11th. Now, users who previously relied on PayPal to quickly connect their payment methods with Google Wallet will have to manually add a credit card, debit card, or bank information if they want to keep using the app.

Google notes that it will still accept PayPal-branded debit cards. “To deliver smart, flexible, and more rewarding ways to pay, PayPal constantly improves their offerings,” Google writes in a FAQ, while referring users to an email sent by PayPal.

The Verge reached out to PayPal with a request for more information but didn’t immediately hear back.

If you use a linked PayPal account for recurring payments, Google says you’ll need to change your payment method on the merchant’s website to keep using the service. Google Wallet will also no longer display your PayPal transaction history, which you’ll now have to view on PayPal’s website or app. Google Wallet’s PayPal integration will still work for users in Germany.

PayPal first rolled out support for Google Wallet — then called Android Pay — in 2017. Its rival digital wallet also continues to evolve, with the PayPal app adding tap-to-pay on iPhones in Germany and rolling out a way for groups to pool money.

End of 10 — Windows 10 is reaching the end of its support. Time to make the switch to Linux. (endof10.org)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/30792652

Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

If you bought your computer after 2010, there's most likely no reason to throw it out. By just installing an up-to-date Linux operating system you can keep using it for years to come.

Installing an operating system may sound difficult, but you don't have to do it alone. With any luck, there are people in your area ready to help!

5 Reasons to upgrade your old computer to Linux:

  1. No New Hardware, No Licensing Costs
  2. Enhanced Privacy
  3. Good For The Planet
  4. Community & Professional Support
  5. Better User Control
