• :rolls eyes: Does it help if I talk about the fascist shithole the US has become? Does that help a very silly joke become more palatable?

  I could point out that East Germany has a rising problem with a return of nazism, but that’s not funny

  So no, I’ll laugh at my silly joke and you can relax. Or be an uptight wanker. Whatever.

• Yeah, I just wanted to make my silly joke, but after posting and seeing more comments, I figured I’d better make my actual stance slightly more clear. heh.

  I think the glasses are cringe. But I think the violence against women - mostly women because the idiots using these don’t just limit themselves to women but it’s… mostly women that are the victims - is horrible.

  I hate that I can’t just make a simple joke without feeling the need to speak out against this problem - not that I have to speak out, that the problem exists and therefore we have to waste time on this bullshit. We shouldn’t have to work against any of this shit, it shouldn’t exist.

  Thank you for your kindness in taking my edit to heart - I do know that it can be a pain when you have a serious topic and someone comes in just to be silly like I had. <3

• French prosecutors probe secret filming of women with smart glasses

  Look, if the women are wearing smart glasses, I’d say they probably consented sufficiently to being filmed!

  </titlejoke>

  edit: considering some of the comments in here, I’d like to say Iw anted to make a silly joke based on the title, but violence against women is not funny.

• private, potentially sensitive information

  I’m really not sure that I’m giving them anything they don’t already have, but i was speaking of incoming potential spam. Like notifications about class action lawsuits. Generally speaking, if a spammer knows something about me, that means it’s already out there. And if they know enough about me, it’s probably an email I can identify as not spam because they know things that spammers wouldn’t know… so I don’t think I’m really pasting in any truly sensitive information in the first place, but I’ve tried to address the point anyway.

• LOL, I know it’s not what you mean at all, but your answer gives me the vibes of “so fuck it, let’s all vote for Sauron”. Even though I know that’s not what you mean at all.

  I guess the ONLY good news is that fascism genreally is stupid. (Which is sad considering how stupid they are and yet still manage to do so much damage. I guess democracy and the general public are that much stupider.)

  on Thanks FedEx, This is Why we Keep Getting Phished in c/technology@lemmy.world · 3d ago

• Strewth. I think the problem is int he case of FedEx, random home delivery people are not the source of their profit, so customer service is a “waste of money”. Similarly, with Google, we’re also not the profit for them, so similarly no reason to waste the money.

  The irony is how difficult like Doordash/Uber etc are, even when we ARE the source of money. heh

  on Thanks FedEx, This is Why we Keep Getting Phished in c/technology@lemmy.world · 3d ago

• Yeah, I read the article.

  HOW DARE YOU THIS IS THE INTERNET WE DO NOT DO THAT HERE

  :)

  Just call FedEx directly with your tracking.

  But you saw how useless that was in this case - any company like Google or whatever that does not feel a need to have public-facing customer support. heh

  atypical case,

  Compared to many companies you might do business with, but certianly not all - as I alluded to just now with companies like Google or FedEx… heh.

  I think that’s the worst part about a lot of these new companies - they make it so hard to get support, so when there’s a problem, you’re just… screwed.

• Just to clarify, basically every single part of this comment is wrong.

  on Thanks FedEx, This is Why we Keep Getting Phished in c/technology@lemmy.world · 4d ago

• Pro tip: You’re gonna get scammed if you ever receive a scam message that appears to be related to something you happen to be expecting. I’m sure you’ll feel all superior to the rest of us until that happens, but it will happen to you.

  And meanwhile, you’re so fucking smart it galls me to have to point this out to you, but what about your grandmother getting an SMS like that? Not everyone is as brilliant as you.

  And the point is that it would be relatively easy for companies to avoid looking so “sus”.

  So instead of feeling smug that you think you can keep yourself safe, perhaps thinking of others might be a good place to start.

  You’re just as bad as the fascists who have zero empathy for anything until it affects them personally.

  on Thanks FedEx, This is Why we Keep Getting Phished in c/technology@lemmy.world · 4d ago

• But as this article points out - that’s not always helpful when the company makes it difficult to contact them - or in this case, the Duty and Taxes [sic] aren’t a part of the FedEx process but a part of the government, so to FedEx it’s a third-party issue and so when they pulled up the shipment, no mention was made of it (that’s my theory why that happened).

  Your advice is good - I’m just saying it won’t always work. heh. But it is the thing you must do unless you recognize the message source/content and even then, better to just log in separately. heh

• Interestingly enough, I’ve found LLMs are pretty good (for now at least) in helping determine if something is legit or not. I’m using them as a glorified search engine in such a case, but having them not only opine as to whether or not it’s legit but link me to some sort of news or other official site about the thing helps.

  edit: lulz, the anti-AI sentiment is so high that people downvote even the places where it’s actually useful. Whatever, bros, make yourself happy. I hate AI in general, but I don’t let that blind me to the few places it’s actually useful. lol

• You’re data

  Bad grammar is the hallmark of a scam. THIS COMMENT IN A SCAM, PEOPLE!!! DO NOT READ!!!

  ;-)

  I think you’re spot-on regarding those domains. People trying to make things work and fighting (and losing) against internal pressures, making the situation ten times worse.

  For years, anti-phishing training sucked most places - I suspect it still does most places - but my previous employer actually got a better one in the last couple of years before I left. Most phishing training just says “Don’t click links from sources you don’t trust” and doesn’t teach you what to look for.

  To me, understanding how URLs work is essential. Being able to identify the actual domain is critical, but also at least being able to identify when the parameters start is also critical. But that fails when companies register weird domains or use third-party shorteners and things like that.

  The linked article is a fantastic example of the worst legit comms I’ve seen. Absolutely looks scammy all the way through.

• I’m too lazy to pirate games, but also, I rarely get a new game. I have my stuff on Steam, or like in the case of Simutrans, I just download it directly (although we’re on Steam these days lol - for free). For me, it’s about the media I watch. Which… is still not all that much. heh.

  When I have downloaded a cracked game, most of the time these days it’s pretty easy. At worst, install, run crack, bam. But it might depend on the game.

  on People Are Pissed Off and Ready to Own Their Shit in c/technology@lemmy.world · 6d ago

• This is one reason I’ve relaxed my stance on Chick-Fil-A. Not that they are suddenly supporting human rights, but they did back down a bit after the outcry, and because I did a little looking a few years ago and found that MOST corporations are giving a lot of money to causes I hate, so it’s just not worth it. Then again, I try not to give big corporations money when I can avoid it, although that’s also a difficult cause that I dn’t spend too much time on.

  My pragmatic approach probably isn’t popular, but I think it is more informed than knee-jerk reactions, so I’m comfortable with it.

  Oof. Although also:

  When the camera did restart, another service left a final message in the logs: “A reboot was requested! ¡Adios Amigos!”

  I was surprised by that for a moment, then realized that I somehow conflated ICE and Flock in my brain, being surprised to see Spanish like that (I suspect ICE would not have that in their software). But of course, my conflation was unfounded.

• I don’t remember the conversation, but I remember your username. But I’m so horrible about checking usernames without RES tagging… I need to remember to include that as I’m sort of working on a project that will include a Lemmy front-end… lol.

  I was briefly stalking your profile to see if I recognized anything or had upvoted you, but then I almost started thinking of it as a feed and nearly replied to some of your comments. lol. I’m tempted to go back and still do that if it wouldn’t annoy you. XD

  I do need to work on that front end. I know some front ends have tagging, but I haven’t liked the ones I’ve found, and the main reason I’m working on the project is to make more moderation tools workable as Lemmy’s native mod tools suck.
