@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.

So apparently there was a proto-DAW for the PSX and it actually seems kind of awesome? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9HgJ3SgjpA

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

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.

Go to https://www.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 https://www.gov.uk/how-to-vote/photo-id-youll-need 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

Heeeeeeck yeah. The Raspberry Pi Pico-W transplant into the #BlueSCSI was a success. Loading web sites is pretty dang slow, but it tops out at like 60Kb/sec, not much faster than a 56K modem, not that those existed when this #Macintosh IIci was contemporary. I think the disk driver in the image I used is super slow. I remember seeing a warning in the log file. So going to fiddle with it in the near future, but for now just so glad this is working. Such a neat machine.
