The prattlings of some internet rando with dubious (if any) credentials.

[Jim Browning @JimBrowning11]

Well done to @Barclays I'm watching a scammer pretending to be @AmazonUK and has @anydesk remote access to the victim's phone. Their banking app detects the presence of that remote access and the scam stops in it's tracks. Nice.

@JesseDangrsly I love your work and it's difficult to choose, but I'll go with one that gives me some comfort every time it pops up and I'm ruminating on the state of the world: Safe No More from Verba Volant. "They say it ain't safe no more; whatever cuz, it never was..."
Yeah... it never was.

@rwgordon Yep, those are definitely all words.

[Iain Fraser @iainfraser]

@RebeccaJLJ Glad more people are talking about this. And I like how he's recognised that it's also happening in industrial design, architecture and the built environment. I'd like to see a design rebellion! Adjusting the tracking on some Helvetica is not design!

@TonyEva17211643 @mindgone_rick @abcnews Well, their current chair was the editor of Australian Woman's Weekly and Cleo, sooo...

@Dominos_AU you folks having payment gateway issues tonight? Can't pay via CC or PayPal, Inglewood store not picking up phone. PayPal has pre-authorised the amount, looks like an issue at your end.

@ErgoDoxEZ I've started hacking my PlanckEZ and wow, it's so much fun! I love how configurable it is! I wish people (*cough*... you) made full size QMK boards. Question: should I be careful how many times I flash the board or does it have a decent number of write/erase cycles?

[Iain Fraser @iainfraser]

I'm going to be a party pooper. I hate sassy government social media accounts. Plain language is one thing, but you ain't Wendy's. Gov accounts should act with the decorum befitting their organisation - even when engaging with numpties. Save it for Open Mic #ausvotes #auspoI

[Iain Fraser @iainfraser]

@rwgordon Like... I agree, 100%. But Mark needs to quit calling pressers when there's nothing very important to say. He tends to get too chatty and casual with the journos, let his guard down and start speaking off the cuff. If he's not careful, that hubris will cost him.

[Iain Fraser @iainfraser]

@Dr_Sassenach Yes! And the capital gains discount on housing! The thing that made shelter an attractive "investment" in the first place.

[Iain Fraser @iainfraser]

@belle__currie @UnitedAusParty @AusElectoralCom AEC on seemingly any election shenanigans anywhere ever.

[Iain Fraser @iainfraser]

@RepMarieNewman "Something something, only a billionaire on paper, something something assets aren't liquid and it would be impossible to... blah, blah, blah" I never want to hear this argument EVER again.

[Iain Fraser @iainfraser]

@TownCityLn Yeah! Congratulations!! That's amazing that you've been able to make the transition, that's a huge step! Best of luck.

[Iain Fraser @iainfraser]

Science/Guest-comedian podcasts = know-nothing loudmouth butts in every five seconds with his poorly conceived middle-schooler quips, ensuring nobody can focus long enough to absorb any actual content. Least favourite genre. Actually make that any pod with a guest comedian.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

So folks have been comparing the weird @GMB morning show interview with the climate activist in the UK with *that* scene from #DontLookUp.

So we at the @MehdiHasanShow put them side by side & the results are.. astounding. Reality mirroring art!

Watch:

@ronmjm He literally answered your question dude, it was right there at the end but you weren't paying attention. "Two and a bit percent". Google it now and tell me if that's about right. He called you out for being a numpty hack trying to get his little headline by asking lazy gotchas.

[Iain Fraser @iainfraser]

@NearlyTheNews @Paul_Karp I LOVE that part. Just a subtle way of saying "and by the way, I actually DO know the answer to your question, I just think it's a stupid question"
