I believe only Mass and one other state have laws preventing extra charges for credit cards, and they are only targeted at larger companies. At least in MA, if you are a smaller company using a 3rd party payment processor/POS (like Toast), you are allowed to push the credit card fee they charge you onto the consumer.

Duck DNS 3 years ago

As much as I appreciate what they offer at no cost, I have experienced more downtime from their service then I would like. My Uptime Kuma dashboard reports a 99.98% 30-day uptime from their service (mainly small 1-2min down-times every couple of weeks), but I have experienced at least one 7ish hour period a few months back where no duckDNS queries were resolving for any domains I checked. And I never found any official source giving a reason or even acknowledging this this outage. Again, free service, I do appreciate what they offer.

Only very rarely (every few months) am I forced to use Chrome for a site - and in my view, that's a huge ding on the site devs, not on Firefox.

I find this very common with Credit Card and Banking Sites. Very often they either refuse to log me in or log me out sooner than they should on Firefox, or certain pages within the site will just not load. I'm guessing they prioritize security, and only test this stuff in Chrome ;(

The only non-remote Engineering role is "New Grad 2023 | Software Engineer - Backend ", (even though the frontend version of the role is remote) is that a mistype or intentional?

Back when I was a teenager I used to come across these sites all the time when playing with Skype-to-IP revolvers. I just checked, and I'm surprised Google actually still shows these sites when you search for them. Most of them have partner links to these DDoS sites, many of which are on this list of takedowns.

They actually don't let me use my primary email as they specifically don't allow accounts to use a Yandex email. They said the reasoning was to prevent non-US citizens from creating accounts, and that I would have to use another email address...
