What's a "reference"? You can enter arbitrary info during a transaction? Genuinely curious. Is this a UK thing or available everywhere?
This is neat! I once found someone’s debit card on the street (in the US). It had a small face shot on it, so I found them on Facebook and sent them a message. Of course, Facebook had already started doing the “messages from non-friends are really hard to find lol” UI dark pattern, so like two years later the woman responds thanking me, but also saying she just canceled the card. Which is what I would’ve done, but I…
You can do a picture search on Facebook?
If social media posts cost 0.01, things would be way better.

I hate having to cancel cards. I'm still dealing with the echos of losing mine back in February[1] (right before moving!) and so I'm calling everyone in the group trying to get her contact info.
Turned out she hadn't even noticed it was gone yet.
[1] AT&T keeps silently cancelling my auto-pay on the new card and nobody can figure out why.

Does Twitter not allow connection from the Tor network any more? What a depressing reality. > 403 Forbidden: The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it.
Nah I think the tweet is gone, I can't see it from a browser. (edit, weirdly I tried again and it worked. Definitely errored with a strange error the first time)

"Dark pattern". Do you know how many unsolicited messages women receive on Facebook ?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
In the US, AFAIK the only metadata you get with a direct / ACH deposit is the sender's "name", usually the company name. I assume that you can't easily change this per transaction. US banking infrastructure is decades behind the rest of the world in many areas. You can include a memo on a paper check though.
So if you were paying an invoice, is there no way to add the invoice number/reference to the transaction? Do people pay everything with cheques?
For bills that don't accept ACH bill pay (i.e. most smaller companies and utilities), banks will often print and mail payments via check for free (it just says "signature on file" on the printed check). Like I said, decades behind.

If you're a European teenager transfering money to someone you know, it's customary to enter something like "Payment for the drugs and the firearms".
P.S. I have zero affiliation with the website or the owners/developers, I just thought it was entertaining.
