That's not exactly the trade here – Apple is letting people use alternative payment providers, which does carry a lot of benefits besides not paying the fee, including better customer management and support
The general public didn't get screwed here. Solana ETH is an IOU for ETH. Now it's backed by ETH. It's not like anyone got diluted or anything.
Clever segue from "open source", to open.
According to this site, GS-15 10 is $143,598.00/year (I was curious and I figured others here would be too)
> are now using both Plausible and Matomo (self-hosted),
Is it possible they only meant self hosted Matomo, not Plausible?
Settlement is the process in which an acquirer "settles" up with Visa, which happens after a transaction is authorized[0]. The acquirer sends Visa a list of transactions and monetary amounts, Visa accepts this and forwards along money for the transactions to the acquiring bank.
Visa is saying that they are now sending USDC (over the blockchain? unclear.) instead of fiat currency over traditional banking rails.
Later this year, Visa will expand these capabilities to more acquirers/merchants.

Practically speaking, it sounds like the links are blacklisted.
A few years back, our business credit card was somehow stolen and used to buy Google Adwords. We disputed the charge with our bank. A day or two later, at 4am local time, our GCP account was suspended for fraud (presumably because the same, stolen, card was attached to that account). All instances were stopped and our service was brought to a halt.
We couldn’t contact Google Cloud support because our account was suspended. We had to go through our network to get our account re-instated. Pretty awful way to start our morning, to say the least.
Here’s my shortcut to add an item to my Pinboard unread list. https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/486bc6782a60453cbdbcf9988c3...
In the past year things have happened like the API returning invalid JSON for weeks[0] and the search returning an error whenever I wanted to use full-text search (one of the selling points for the extra archival fee.) Not to mention the ongoing issues with page archiving in general (things frequently fail and need to be manually re-queued).
I really like Pinboard, I do, but the reliability issues have made me want to look somewhere else. My subscription is set to renew at the end of March and after seeing this I guess I'll give it another year. Here's hoping things trend upwards.
