@ParadeGrotesque @GunnerGale If your instance doesn’t allow members to inform card-carrying library members that there’s a free app that they can use to view movies for free, then…You might want to rethink your instance rules. That sounds pretty awful.

@ParadeGrotesque @GunnerGale - Well… fuck. And now it looks like I’ve piled on. Not my intention. As a SysAdmin, I get monitoring & admining different accounts. I didn’t know you were dealing with an influx of fake accounts.Maybe there is standardized messaging that you and your team can use in the future to avoid confusion? I’ve taken advantage of that approach at a variety of different employers, and usually with solid results.Lemme know if I can help.

Today, I got an #email from an unknown company for a survey. No indication of who sent the email but I knew anyway.That's because I use a nifty service called 33Mail.My mail - forwarded via 33mail and attached here - SHOWED me who'd sent it: #uberNow I know 100% who's selling my info to 3rd parties and neglecting my #privacy I've loved 33Mail for years. Today, I have yet another example of why.Sign up (free or paid) using my affiliate link:http://33mail.com/38drRZ3

@craftyguy Fair. But I’d have the same concerns with ANY email host that wasn’t my own server.

I keep saying this over and over and over again. Time to say it again. One of the simplest and most powerful decisions you can make to massively increase your #privacy and #Security is this:Stop. Using. #google Some folks still don’t believe or follow this advice. You do that at your own risk. Excellent article by @daveyalba and Julia Love details why. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2023-09-28/google-user-data-is-police-s-top-shortcut-for-solving-crimes?accessToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzb3VyY2UiOiJTdWJzY3JpYmVyR2lmdGVkQXJ0aWNsZSIsImlhdCI6MTY5NTkwODQwMCwiZXhwIjoxNjk2NTEzMjAwLCJhcnRpY2xlSWQiOiJTMU9HSFFUMVVNMFgwMSIsImJjb25uZWN0SWQiOiJFNzAxNENGQzIzNTI0MzU0QTVENUY2QkREMDAxOEU3NiJ9.hQdndsctzUxy26-09-BmMVCSacJkYBdNNw1Awmb48ns

@randahl Ah, you’ve fallen for the old “EVERYTHING IS BINARY” trick. That happens.Here’s the solution: live more in the grey. Warning: it’s hard to do. You can say, for example, that intentionally raping, beheading, burning, and murdering civilians is wrong AND still hunt down & kill those who commit those acts of atrocities so they cannot do so again. Maybe YOU’D like to propose a solution that hasn’t been tried in the past 1700 years to end extremist Islamic jihad?

#Security and #privacy alert: if you get a call from the #amazon "fraud team" telling you there are fraudulent charges on your account, here's how to respond:"What's the number where I can call you back, please?"In most cases, the call will disconnect. That's because you're no longer an easy #scam target. Use this approach with ANY call you suspect. If there's a real #fraud issue from a REAL company, there will be a real phone number you can call. 👉🏼 Share this tip 👈🏼

@hyde Exactly. It's an EASY way to eliminate MOST scams. Better: it only takes 5-10sec of your time and involves no extra digital tools.

@timnitGebru To which genocide do YOU refer? Because I have many colleagues: but they only focus on one region. That’s a shame, right?No one mentions the poor Uighurs. Or the Armenians. Or the Sudanese. Or Yemenis. Or the Syrian war, my God. No, incredibly the people who scream “genocide” the most right now seem focused *solely* on the #Palestinians in #gaza Gosh, there must be a reason why… Oh, right: #antisemitism

@Chrisod @timnitGebru and yet… So called progressives, like you continue to use the word #genocide to describe a country defending itself by striking military targets. This is not the definition of genocide, and no amount of you saying that it is will make it so.I abhor the loss of innocent lives, but will not stoop to your level by engaging in ignorant propaganda or languaging to mislabel what is currently happening in this conflict. War is brutal.

@feld @rbreich Nothing he said was a lie. You calling him a liar doesn’t magically make him one. These were all #biden policies announced and then enacted. If you don’t like progress or progressive policies that help people, ok. #trumpsocial might be a better fit for you.

Well, it’s #caturday so hopefully this fun piece of #graffiti that I found yesterday qualifies.

@GeriatricGardener @Declassified_UK @UKLabour @palestine @israel or…. Maybe the #UK banned #hezbollah because they’re funded by #iran, are #terrorists who’ve launched many thousands of rockets at Israel, embed munitions in civilian areas, and want not just the utter destruction of #israel but of EVERYTHING that isn’t #muslim Maybe, you know, THOSE reasons played a role in the minds of reasonable people.

@GeriatricGardener @Declassified_UK @UKLabour @palestine @israel My absolute FAVORITE is when douchebag #Antisemites and rabidly ignorant #AntiZionists *actually* think that Israel is going anywhere.😂🤣😆#Israel isn’t going anywhere. More, they’re fighting the threat of radical #Islamic #Terrorism so that I pathetic haters like you won’t have to.Your bitterness and hate for strong #jews fills me with glee.

When #kamala #harris wins tomorrow - and she will by a #landslide - it will mark a lovely new chapter in #us history. And when the #cheeto loses - and he will - he’ll still try to claim victory. It will go down as a terrible loss to the #Republicans and the killing of #roevwade will be one of the reasons why. But the #trump family isn’t going anywhere. The kids will try to run the next cycle. So the threat remains. What we do with our chance now…? That will define us.

@magicalthinking Thanks Mr. Meme. I’ll take advice only from folks who speak in complete sentences.
