Scammers Can Abuse Security Flaws in Email Forwarding to Impersonate High-profile Domains

Sending an email with a forged address is easier than previously thought, due to flaws in the process that allows email forwarding, according to a research team led by computer scientists at the University of California San Diego.

This is why I have trust issues with big-tech. They make sudden changes via the ToS update.

today i had some fun in a public instance of prompt or die in #vrchat. i've always strayed away from public instances because i've had bad experiences before, but today i was more willing to use mute and block functions. vrchat is basically just a virtual chatroom, after all, so maybe i just need to become more comfortable with using chatroom type functions like blocking and muting?

to note, the section above the "idle / neutral" block could be expanded for quite a long time. conceivably, i could put hundreds of facial expressions on that column.

managed to get a system for facial expressions in vrchat working that allows me to use either hand gestures or an expressions menu at any given time on a single avatar. it's messy and could definitely be improved, but i am very proud of myself with this.

i've been having a lot of fun with making an avatar to call my own in vrchat. sometimes a bit troublesome working with unity and blender, but i'm getting the hang of it, i think.

I want an apology from all the mansplainers that mocked my belief that privatizing NASA and relying this heavily on SpaceX would undermine the national security policy of the United States.

Suggestion: Reach out to your local government, emergency service provider, and/or news org. Let them know that Twitter has ended public access to content and that Mastodon is a working alternative *today*. I did this on the weekend with my local emergency folks and this morning I got a reply back saying they had noticed the embedded Twitter feed on their webpage was broken.

They didn't realize Twitter had cut that service. Now, hopefully, they are considering their options including Mastodon.
