Anyone at got a sewing machine I can use for an hour or so? ^^

Hand sewing went okay but jeez my hand, haha. Managed to do one and had to stop.

@renbymon That one's been going by for a while, but the fake Discord letter is a new one.

I can see a few scam hallmarks there, though -- these turn up often:
"This must only be investigated by us", ie. don't tell anyone.
"State's federal law team" to give it an air of officialdom
"12-hr timeframe" - to try and get you to rush through without thinking
And finally, the crap English and misuse of long words!

The first two are to try and stop the victim from finding out it's a scam.

Just an FYI, if you get a message like this from someone on discord then it’s a scam.

I just got this and it set off alarm bells; why would discord ask someone to message me instead of messaging me directly?

A few minutes of googling and I confirmed that 1) discord does not deal with violations in this way and 2) that it’s a scam to steal your account and likely some money too.

This is how discord deals with violations: support.discord.com/hc/en-us/a

Wasn’t able to finish before setting off, but I’ve done almost everything that required messy work (shaving, cutting, etc). Still could do with use of a sewing machine for about 30 minutes x)

So apparently there was a proto-DAW for the PSX and it actually seems kind of awesome? youtube.com/watch?v=v9HgJ3Sgjp

@pawcelot Music and Music 2000 were big in Europe and kinda helped with the development of the Grime genre!

Almost everyone had a PS1, they were everywhere brand new or used, and you could buy Music 2000 from a game store and be making actual music, that was a huge thing for poorer and working class producers

I remember why I hate hand sewing; only done a little bit and my hand aches already xD

Scoop: I obtained the contract Samsung requires independent shops to sign to buy phone repair parts from them.

It requires:

- "Daily" dumps of customer data
- The "immediate destruction" of any phones a shop comes across that has third-party parts

Okay looking at the time I don't think I'm going to be leaving for the con today. Will go tomorrow morning instead and get the head finished tonight. :)

So the way I had planned to do this wasn't working. Trying a different method and it seems to be going okay! Taking a break before getting back to it!

Gaming on Linux discourse be like

"It's Linux's fault. Do better, FOSS!"

Gaming on Linux in practice be like:

Three years from now, when vendors are ripping their hugely expensive and utterly failed AI bullshit out of their products, their Product Owners will be laughing and shaking their heads and saying “what WERE they thinking?” And then rushing to implement the next digital panic to dogshit their products because they can’t let their competitors get a lead on the brand new dogshit.

UK Politics, Voter Registration 

Go to gov.uk/register-to-vote to register to vote. Students can register at both their home and uni addresses, but can only vote at one (their choice which one). You also need to make sure you have a valid form of ID listed at gov.uk/how-to-vote/photo-id-yo for in person voting or are registered for postal voting. Postal voting doesn't require ID and you can still drop off your ballot at your polling station on election day and have it count

Are you veriflööf? Make sure to buncuddla or else you may come under bunåtak. I haven't been posting these as often, so here are a few of my favourite IKEA ref sheets I've done recently :3 #Furryart #Furryartist

phew! all the fur has been cut out but damn I hadn't seen how late it is; too late to really be running the sewing machine and vacuum cleaner.

I guess I'll get back to this tomorrow!
