Yep, Twitter got my phone number because at the time 40404 was the only mobile interface, and half the point of the service.

Similar experience when Twilio started requiring SMS 2FA. I offered to use U2F or TOTP, but no, it must be SMS. I don’t have a work number and this is an absurd reason to get one, so we just canceled the account.

I have a hard time wrapping my mind around how someone can’t be bothered to expose an inert web feed but then will take on the project of actively broadcasting updates and managing all the extra moving parts that entails in perpetuity.

If I didn’t ask for it, it’s spam. On the first instance. And I’m not even very concerned with personally unsubscribing. Foremost I want to close the feedback loop to disempower a bad actor.

This is such a silly problem to have. User agents that want an exception to a policy are free to make one.

Seems like a nice feature of the browser would be to tell you when you’re uploading location data and offer to strip it.

What would explain my experience? My first guess is that spammers aren’t proactively probing these anymore, and just hit them if they’re found like any other address.

I suspect spammers might have given up on that. I get almost nothing for webmaster at a domain that receives plenty of spam and phishing attacks on other email addresses, and a constant barrage of spam into the web contact form.

Usually I’ll add +myfeelings on the local part in case their MTA does subaddressing. And making it unique increases the chances of adding a new entry to their list.

I tried Instagram in 2020 but shortly deleted it for precisely this abuse.

It looks like the machine’s bishop was capturing the kid’s queen. Humans usually do that in one motion, bumping the bishop into the queen. Most of the machine’s moves also are one motion, but its captures take two: 1) ensure that the destin

It’s disappointing. I’m all too familiar with the phenomenon of marketplace spam by seemingly nonsense all-caps brand names, and have been curious about the reasoning behind the names. How are they chosen? Is it really nonsense or just a la

My coworkers looked at me like I’m crazy when I refused to use my personal phone number to verify work accounts.

Amazon trampled me in a similar way when they permanently disabled my account “due to inactivity”. Customer support said to just create a new account with another phone number. As if I have another phone number.

Running projects in rootless containers from the beginning goes a long way for baseline workstation security, clarity about project dependencies, and ease of managing multiple environments. Strongly recommend additionally keeping work isola

Just a few days. It’s done by running an external service that joins rooms and listens for commands. We’re using maubot [1] since it’s one of the more popular ones, but it has some rough edges [2] [3] [4]. Our setup for just the “rss” plugi

A timely observation. I’ve just been setting up the /feed command for ops notifications in a local tech group’s Matrix space.

Of all measures to compare by that seems a particularly ill choice. One of the few things I know about Python is its longstanding reputation for having batteries included. (But yes, you can pry Enumerable from my cold, dead hands.)

In general, if you think that someone’s claimed experience doesn’t make sense, you’re probably just missing information. On small viewports, the “right-hand side” is down page and off screen, and the instructions I’m following reference onl

I too spent the whole time scrutinizing the syntax and ignoring the values, since this is an intro to the language and not to Bill’s dotfiles. I was ultimately unable to deduce the presumed syntax error and independently came to the same mi

With a more general law that recognizes that consent is required before you take things from someone, and that the practical ability to take something doesn’t imply consent. I assume most places have something like that already.

Over the weekend I’d been querying the local LUG for explanations of process scheduling with little success, then like magic “A journey into the Linux scheduler” drifted down my HN feed. It’s a wondrous effect.

Teclis has a neat approach to this: > we count the number of uBlock Origin blocked requests on the page, and if too many, we kick it out, leaving only "clean" pages in the index.
