The best minds in online marketing: Oh, hey—this guy is into washing machines! Quick, show him washing machine ads!

You receive a call on your phone.
The caller says they're from your bank and they're calling about a suspected fraud.

"Oh yeah," you think. Obvious scam, right?

The caller says "I'll send you an in-app notification to prove I'm calling from your bank."

Your phone buzzes. You tap the notification This is what you see.

Still think it is a scam?

Them: Aren’t you worried about a potential employer seeing all of these Mastodon posts?

Me: I’m just happy that someone is reading them.

Mastodon has two types of people: people who really want replies to their posts and people who extremely do not.

(I am in the first category, reply away)

Passwords must contain at least one uppercase letter, lowercase letter, numeral, and special character.

Passwords must be at least eight characters long.

Passwords must not match any of your previous twelve passwords.

Passwords should be kept away from open flames.

Passwords should not be taken if you plan to drive or operate heavy machinery.

Passwords are at your own risk; no lifeguard on duty.

If at first you don't succeed, don't sweat it, your parents are rich.

Wait. Your parents aren't rich?

Oh, man. This is embarrassing. Sorry, all of these success aphorisms are meant for people with privilege and resources.

You're on your own. Good luck.

Today, after nearly half a year of development, we have landed the ability to select Wi-Fi networks from the top-panel.

The best part about this feature is, now that we have decided over the structure, we can implement the same feature for Bluetooth, VPNs, etc. easily.

A big thanks to @agx for his feedback, patches and review throughout the process!

Hey all, my friend @shriramg deleted his X/Twitter (thanks Elon!) to join us. He likes ML, AI, DS. Can you all suggest some good accounts and groups to follow that post about those topics? Thank you!!

The Obfuscated C Code Contest is fun and all but can we also have a Clear Code Contest?

A competition to reward code that's easy to understand and modify, well designed, extensible, modular, documented, and properly commented.

Found an interesting spam/ad/promotion/whatever on Telegram.

Neurocommenting 😬

As per the channel, it is AI powered interesting, funny comments on the channel posts which attracts users to check out the user profile and where they the promotion content is available.

No words, bizzare 😑

A year ago today the Missing The Point account was started on Mastodon by a starry-eyed newbie with nothing but big dreams to make people laugh and the best posts AI could generate. Throughout the day this thread will share the top ten most-favorited posts of the year, along with some behind-the-scenes commentary.

In honor of Missing The Point’s one-year Mastodon anniversary, you are hereby granted a day off work tomorrow, simply show this post to your boss. Enjoy the three-day weekend.

why do rust programs have so many deps. did we learn nothing from js?

I ever so often close the 🎵- player and when grabbing the 📱 I'd have to unlock it to just start the 🎵 player and then 🔒 the 📱 right away again (as there's #mpris controls on the 🔒-screen then anyway).

Hence I wrote a small #phosh plugin to add arbitrary "launchers" to the 🔒-screen via a desktop file.
This is very simplistic atm (as we e.g. don't track app-state) but gets the job done initially.

I only used it for that purpose but there's other potential use cases:

After lots of cleanup over the past #phoc releases I'm inclined to switch #phoc's main branch to track #wlroots git rather than the latest stable version as I can then catch up with new wlroots features faster. Stable releases would then be cut from a wlroots-0.xy branch tracking the stable wlroots version. Good idea?

Okay X/Twitter has a very very very odd background image on its Brand Assets page such that I literally thought that my screen has dirt.

Today we got what must be the most alarming first line in a newly file sec issue to #curl:

"To replicate the issue, I have searched in the Bard about this vulnerability"

... followed by a complete AI hallucination where Bard has dreamed up a new issue by combining snippets from several past flaws. Creative, but hardly productive.

Closed as bogus.

“My god. The weapon is armed, the countdown has begun, and the only known copy of the override code is stored on this old Nokia 5510 with an empty battery. We’re doomed.”

“Everybody chill the fuck out. I got this. Just gotta crack open the old cable drawer. Here you go.”

“You have a Nokia 5510 charger, but why?! That phone hasn’t been sold in over 20 years!”

“Let’s just say, I always knew this day would come.”

“Wow. Your decision to never throw away cables just saved humanity honey…honey…time to wake up honey…”

Mathematical italic capital h mathematical italic small e mathematical italic small l mathematical italic small l mathematical italic small o.

WTF?

Oh, I just said “Hello” to you in italics.

(That’s similar to what someone who uses a screen reader hears when you use fancy non-alphabetical Unicode characters to simulate italics or boldface on your fediverse posts. So please don’t do that.)
