Yet another person is using my gmail address with a dot in the username thinking it is theirs - this time it's enrolling their kid in school. Normally I do nothing but should I do something here? I have the damn kids birth cert, full details of the family, etc.

purserj,
@purserj@aus.social avatar

@decryption I would, did they include other contact details?

purserj,
@purserj@aus.social avatar

@decryption great so you have everything to setup a bank account in their kids name?

purserj,
@purserj@aus.social avatar

@decryption then maybe a quick call might be helpful.

purserj,
@purserj@aus.social avatar

@decryption I'd probably start with the school?

Holy fuck, I just signed up to a site and it sent me a confirmation message WITH MY PASSWORD IN PLAIN TEXT.

Not an automatically generated one but the supposedly secure one I am meant to use to sign in!

Awww they've "disabled" the right click button as well.

And in no way surprising, it's a WP site.

@purserj@aus.social avatar

Whelp, I'll be cancelling my account and sending an email I think.

Oh, no I won't. There doesn't seem to be a way to

a) Delete my account
b) Change my password

purserj,
@purserj@aus.social avatar

@franksting yeah in the early 2000s?

purserj,
@purserj@aus.social avatar

Okay, polite but firm email sent.

I haven't mentioned the site because it appears to have been put together by a hobbyist so I'm not going shame them publicly.

But ye gods

Well, I'm not sure this ad is landing the way Apple thought it would

You know you've made the wrong decision when the national society of librarians calls you on your homophobic nonsense.

purserj,
@purserj@aus.social avatar

@KathyReid honestly i don't think that's going to bother them as much as you might think. Look at the US where politicians have put forward bills to criminalise being a member of the national library association there

    @decryption @trib honestly surprised they haven't reached out to Google, surely the street car would be capturing data like that

    purserj,
    @purserj@aus.social avatar

    @decryption @trib I wonder. They used to (probably still do) capture wifi network information as they drive passed.

    Wouldn't be too much of a stretch to capture Mobile network data. If nothing else, it helps to map where people can and can't access their services

    You know the Rabbit R1 device was created by a bunch of male software nerds, because they named an electronic device "rabbit", non-ironically.

    @KathyReid I'm really struggling not to ask what is probably an inappropriate question

    purserj,
    @purserj@aus.social avatar

    @KathyReid yes hence I was going to ask if the rabbit r1 had a vibrate function

    @jonoabroad @kcarruthers yes. Tiktok has pretty strict filters around mentions of death and harm.

    Huh, so in the Shellharbour area we have 4 Woolworths super markets, 1 Coles, 2 Aldis and a smattering of IGAs and Foodworks.

    They're building a new super market near our house (which yay), have a guess what Super Market Giant is going in there

    Was trying to work out why my was taking so long to brew. See if you can troubleshoot the problem…

    Kinda jealous of people with younger kids than me that get Bluey. We had Octonauts who won’t explain who funds their aquatic missions and are obviously pirates.

    @Jplonie @franksting @smperris @geordie when I were a lad we didn't have no Bluey, we had to make out own wiggles with second hand skivvies and a sock with Dorothy written on it
