Did you know that #methamphetamine was used by #German #WW2 #soldiers... but was also marketed to housewives?

Pervitin was the brand name. It was identical to modern meth & colloquially named "Weckamin", "wake me".

It explained the speed of the German WW2 #army through #France. Even #Hitler thought the #progress #reports faulty.

Everyone could buy it, too. E.g "Hildebrand" pralines were specifically marketed to housewives.

To be more awake & to concentrate & to forget.

Fascinating both for what it says about dev & what it says about statistics:

A gamedev realized Linux users were just 5.8% of their sales, but represented 38% of bug reports.

Then they looked at those numbers closer, and realized. Linux users were not experiencing more bugs. Almost none of the Linux-user bugs were Linux-related. Linux users were simply more likely to file bugs.

Their conclusion: A linux port pays for itself bc it nerdsnipes ppl into giving u free QA

It’s way past time to stop police ‘testilying’
OPINION: The culture of deception in US courts needs to end
But the appallingly routine habit of police providing false testimony, both in written reports and on the witness stand, still doesn’t get enough attention.
This practice is so common that police officers coined their own word for it decades ago: testilying.

Why is the .US domain -- the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the United States -- consistently among the most prevalent in phishing domains?

And why is this okay, when other ccTLDs that also restrict registration to residents/citizens don't seem to have this problem? And when a fair number of .US domains are used to attack US government agencies? Today's story explores these questions:

Domain names ending in “.US” — the top-level domain for the United States — are among the most prevalent in phishing scams, new research shows. This is noteworthy because .US is overseen by the U.S. government, which is frequently the target of phishing domains ending in .US. Also, .US domains are only supposed to be available to U.S. citizens and to those who can demonstrate that they have a physical presence in the United States.

@hackbyte @briankrebs yeah, but to go back to the point: is a big issue and 99,9% of all Spam that isn't bring 'd by blocklists are from , , / .com / / and domains hosted by registrars like , because , , and the Registrars refuse to even process at all.

Clarification

You do not have to worry about your mastodon.social (m.s) account being defederated.

There is a well meaning, but misleading post currently promoted that suggests you should move your m.s account because:

  1. "Instance admins are considering defederating them"
  2. "Their admin is making spam accounts easier to create."

Very few, if any, instances are considering blocking m.s, and the recent spam attacks are worthy of sober discussion, not hyperbole. [more]

@mastodonmigration depends...

In the end it's up to every server & instance admin to make a decisin.

Personally I'd recommend people who can to do .

Also based off issues with - , I think we need to avoid creating the :fediverse: - equivalents of :gmail: , :yahoo: & .com where said hosters get away with ignoring ...

Sometimes a precendent must be set and "Fix your spamming or GTFO" is reasonable.
