@SteveMurrayM4 @michaeldexter @2_5adm1ns There are some footguns no filesystem can save you from. For everything else, there's ZFS:

@eRightoff @IwriteOK Are you nuts? We "filthy liberals" aren't exactly back the blue types.

@DeTix_Tony @vmarks @amazon Never did figure it out. Amazon doesn't give you enough diagnostic information to really be able to figure much out about the attacks yourself.

My suspicion is it was somebody who intercepted some traffic and tried some sort of credential replay attack, but I don't really know.

There might be some shenanigans going on at @Amazon today. This is the second warning I've gotten like this today; and yes, they're legit warnings from Amazon, not counterfeit phish.

The other warning was for a "generic Android 10" device in North Carolina.

@therockyfiles @AP @TerryGaney @gatewayjreview But despite the never ending onslaught of trolls (not you) looking for my notoriously Internet-avoidant homonym and finding me instead, I'm sad about this news. He consistently reported straight news so neutrally, you immediately KNEW his haters were wrong.

@wnguygunbiminl1 @fryan @arstechnica I am happy to hear that. I know you hear a lot of xenophobia from people in the USA, but I do not believe Chinese people are any worse than American people. I hope this feeling is translated well.

@tab126 Note: I'm not active very often on this platform anymore. If you're on Mastodon or Bluesky, you might want to follow me there. 👍

@tab126 I usually use MX Checker for this kind of thing, but there are a ton of free online validators. If you can't find exactly the kind of validator you're looking for at MX Checker, explore your favorite search engine.

If this was actually true, our boy would have zero reach on his own platform.

Just a reminder that the algorithm is trying to maximize unregretted user-seconds.

If far more credible, verified subscriber accounts (not bots) mute/block your account compared to those who like your posts, your reach will decline significantly.

@dril If this was true he would have zero reach on this platform, lol

@TheKyps @SmoothDunk You think you're a very clever boy, I see

[Jim Salter (aka @[email protected]) 🐀 @jrssnet]

@Keiranebelegger @ArchivalSystem @SmoothDunk You do not speak for "cis people." You speak for yourself.

I was assigned male at birth, consider myself just as male today as the doctor did in 1972, and I do not find frank discussions of trans people's issues even slightly threatening. Why should I?

[Jim Salter (aka @[email protected]) 🐀 @jrssnet]

@Keiranebelegger @SmoothDunk "Woke" is definitely not the label you should be concerned with getting for this take.

@theashleyray @IwriteOK I'm not sure why the community is on edge, has the community also been denying medical coverage to millions of people, or...?
