lol I just got a scam email from someone claiming they’ve hacked my accounts and their proof is that they sent me the scam email from my own email address

(Reminder to non-tech-folk that it’s fairly trivial to fake sending an email as someone else)

Anyway this scam would have caused me to maybe do a double take if it weren’t using an email address that is literally impossible to send mail from anymore. It’s a fwd-only email address and I couldn’t send from it if I wanted to

Anyway please enjoy this very great excerpt from the email:

“You truly enjoy checking out porn websites and watching dirty videos, while having a lot of kinky fun.

I RECORDED YOU (through your camera) SATISFYING YOURSELF!”

@cmdln I haven’t gotten one in a long time since I’ve switched email addresses a few times and typically mask emails when signing up for stuff these days anyway. But this one was funny.

Must work though! They only have to get a few hits to make it worth their time. I know at least two people who were hit by scams recently, and I wouldn’t consider them particularly vulnerable targets

This article sucks and I don't even need a full Mastodon post to explain why. I could just say its a WSJ Opinion piece and so useless, but...

https://www.wsj.com/articles/hottest-days-ever-dont-believe-it-global-temperature-north-sole-poles-6e64a991

Literal first words: "The global-warming industry has declared"

Immediate massive red flag.

Author attribution: "Mr. Milloy is a senior legal fellow at the Energy and Environment Legal Institute."

Cursory search: The E&E Legal Institute used to be "The American Tradition Institute"

Its a Koch-funded anti-regulation group.

From my comments:

Its funny to see how people really believe the hype. Most people I know who are really into it don’t know much about technology I am noticing. Because anyone into tech and social media starts seeing cracks with their approaches.

Forgive this old man moment:

I am seeing the dollar sign get put at the end of a dollar figure ( ex: 200$ ) more and more frequently and it's really starting to get to me.

@TechConnectify It iiiiiiiis fairly strange for the dollar sign to go in front but the cents sign (and many other units? is the dollar sign a unit??) to at the end

A $600,000 wine heist has my attention. Also, a look at the unrest in France, Threads makes its debut (Elon is totally taking it well), a judge says the Biden admin stopped a free speech, and we are out here innovating on bread.

@endeavorance@astral.camp avatar

I wanna talk about the uprisings happening in France in SKH tomorrow to help spread info about how it's not just random riots and looting.

Digging around for articles that are actually written with an understanding of the nuance on the ground there and not just "look at the bad people rioting and looting, CLUTCH PEARLS!"

If anyone has author or article recommendations, I would very much appreciate it. I have a few to reference now, but more are always welcome.

This is a reminder to consider a backup battery supply ("UPS") if you have a desktop computer. You never know when a power outage is gonna hit. Just had a few flickers and a full outage this morning. Despite everything else losing power, I was able to finish up my task and safely shut down my machine.

If you've got the budget, its well worth it!

Currently Object Storage is down and it's causing server queues to fill up and in extreme cases to become unresponsive.

I have just confirmed with OVH that the issue is happening and they are working on it.

Really sorry for the inconvenience and will update here when I have more information.

Reddit still doesn't care about blind people. Also, Twitter imploding on itself, 200 new laws in Florida, the US Supreme Court is serious garbage, and oops, it's Idaho.

For folks in the US with noise sensitivities, you should be aware that this year we’ve seen an apparent record breaking amount of firework purchases in the country. I’m sure you’re hearing it already (as I have been).

You may want to be proactive with noise cancellation if you have headphones or ear plugs or something.

Take care of yourself as best you can!

Literally the day after pride ends, TikTok removed a video of mine where I loudly supported trans rights citing that I broke community guidelines.

This video has been pinned to the top of my profile since March.

    Google just emailed me to let me know that "Album Archive" is going away and my data will be deleted in a month.

    Album Archive is apparently the dumping ground for images that were in other products Google has already killed, such as Google+ and Hangouts.

    They're killing the place where images from killed products went. It's just beyond parody, incredible.

    @danderson I got that too and had no idea what they were talking about, but was again reminded why I dont depend on google services anymore. Inbox and Google Music still are open wounds for me.

    Looking at reddit alternatives and they're all full of boring toss for computer people

    This is Different to when I joined masto way back in 2017; there were computer people here then too, but they were the interesting stripey sorts, whereas lemmy and kbin and lobsters is just, like... computer crap through and through
