When using #Liberapay to receive donations, I'm curious what data is shared with #Stripe.

Does Stripe see the username and/or email address of the Liberapay account receiving donations?

I am hoping that Stripe cannot see this information and instead sees the ID number of the account or some other private identifier. I would like to protect my online identity from my bank and other entities that know my real-life legal identity.

I have not created a Stripe account yet, and I am curious about the process and data requirements.

What data is required to create a Stripe account for an individual for the purpose of receiving donations?
When creating a Stripe account, does Stripe require a photo ID for identity verification?

#Privacy is important to me because I'm trans and live in the USA.

Thanks to anyone who replies.

#Help! #Question to the #lazyverse:

Which #donation platform for #freeSoftware would you recommend? There are so many, such as #LiberaPay @Liberapay or #BuyMeACoffee

Which one accepts direct #SEPA bank transfer without need to go through 3rd party, such as #Stripe or, worse, #PayPal? Which one is community friendly. Which one respects donators #privacy?

TIA!

It's too bad the Thunderbolt DisplayPort function is still broken after the upgrade...

I see this error in dmesg when the thunderbolt module loads:

thunderbolt 0000:00:0d.2: device links to tunneled native ports are missing!

Any idea? #linux #linuxkernel

TIL that Android phones (or at least Pixel phones) can act as USB webcams without installing any apps! 😲

#fwupd just upgraded the firmware of my USB-C dock... and didn't brick it!

All this talk about #xzorcist over the weekend, I want to also point out that it's important to remember that the "software supply chain" largely does *not* exist in regards to open source, because most people have no real relationship other than parasitic consumption with the project.

@Di4na's great blog post on this topic explains it quite well: softwaremaxims.com/blog/not-a-

Well, life happened and now I'm currently independent.

So, that opens up a new opportunity! If you've benefited from my work in the Linux and open source world (especially in @fedora, @centos, and @opensuse), now is your chance to help supercharge my efforts by sponsoring me via GitHub Sponsors! 💖
