SwiftOnSecurityHenry – I'm sorry to cut you off but we're going live to CrowdStrike headquarters, where they are demonstrating a new process for testing product updates.
Uh, oh, customers are now reporting a blue screen in their eyes.
Molly Whitesuper cool that all these companies have decided to make customers opt OUT of having their data sold for AI training purposes
"but no one would do it if it was opt-in!"
yeah, THAT IS THE PROBLEM
Markus Beckedahl644 weitere Unternehmen würden gerne meine Standortdaten und weitere Daten von mir haben, um ein Konzertticket via Ticketmaster zu kaufen.
Natürlich ist denen meine Privatsphäre wichtig.

If you are a journalist, blogger, YouTuber, or someone you know who is and you are interested in writing an article about the next #kde Plasma 6 release, let me know. We finished working on the release announcement with all the juicy information, and I'll happily share a secret link with you and answer any of your questions.
Boost welcome
@snazzyq I did not see part one of your post before choosing. Just be aware that I like the number 3
Amit SerperI'm happy to share my new (and small) open source "project" - Masto-rss. A small and simple Mastodon bot that posts news from RSS feeds.
I made masto-rss to bring news websites that don't have fediverse accounts into our feeds. The best way to use it is in its docker container form (which is linked in the README.md file). I am adding features to it as I go. Right now, it is powering @ynetmivzakim. Check it out here:

Brandon 👏👏 Brandoff 👏👏Almost got scammed selling some stuff online. 🤙
Had a person send me their number as an interested buyer and told me to text them. I did (first mistake), and we arranged a meetup time. Then they asked if, for their safety, they could send me a six digit code (some of you already know where this is going) that I could repeat back to them to verify myself.
I said, "absolutely!" And sure enough, I got a Google Voice verification number. lol
If you're not familiar with the scam, shady people will take your phone number and try to create a Google Voice account with it. If you provide them with the 6-digit code that Google sends you, they can "verify" that they are you, and then basically use your phone number to run scams, commit fraud, etc. It's nasty business.
I called them out, blocked them, then reported them to the marketplace website and to the FTC--though, almost certainly, they were using the phone number of another poor soul to carry this out.
I used to work as a social engineer, running phishing campaigns (ethically, with consent lol), against Fortune 1000 companies to assess their level of vulnerability. Luckily for me, I was super familiar with this, but most of the people I told about it have said, "Oh, I probably would have fallen for that...", and even I set myself up for it.
So that is why I'm posting this. Please be aware of sketchy shit like this. If someone is asking you for a verification code over SMS or email, tread with EXTREME caution. Also, it's usually pretty shady if a stranger you're already chatting with wants to move to a new platform. Not always, but if someone emails or messages you on Facebook to ask you to text them, that's a little weird. I'd had legitimate buyers/sellers do that, so it's not unheard of, but it should put you on guard.
If you buy/sell/trade online frequently, it's a good idea to use a dedicated MySudo number, VOIP number, and/or a burner phone for that.
Stay safe out there, kids.

Tom MorrisAny meaningful UX testing in 2023 needs to account for ad blockers and password managers.
If your site or app doesn’t work with popular ad blockers, or it refuses to allow logins pasted in from password managers, it’s broken.
Yes, some executive type will want to argue about this because they think ad blocking will go away or they misunderstood some now outdated infosec guidance. They’re wrong. Users use ad blockers and password managers and if your stuff doesn’t work with them, it’s broken.
