Found the Steam account of who runs the scam store too. It even says right on their profile to buy the Steam Deck on their store 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
You got this buddy! Don’t forget your online people, we’re useful for venting.

Today in 1857, Queen Victoria chooses the small logging town of Ottawa as the capital of the Province of Canada. It is chosen due to its isolation at the time, and it is halfway between Toronto & Kingston and Montreal and Quebec City.

Today in 1775, American forces launch a night attack on Quebec City during a siege. The attack is a failure and American general Richard Montgomery is killed.
Only 19 of the 1,800 British troops are killed or wounded, while the Americans lose 84, with 431 captured.

Today in 1876, Taqulittuq passed away from tuberculosis. With her husband Ipirvik, she helped various explorers survive on their Arctic expeditions. She played a critical role in Arctic exploration that is often forgotten.

35 years ago this morning, at 8 o’clock, I went out to buy the day’s paper. I remember it pretty well! It was the day I transitioned, and the first time I’d gone out as *me* in the daytime. Less than 20 feet from the front door, two of my neighbours were having a catch-up.
I was greeted with a cheery “Good morning!” followed a heartbeat later with an equally cheery “What do we call you now?” as they looked me up and down. “Naomi”, I said, and told them what was happening.
LINUX MINT 21.1 Vera is WINDOWS, and I'm fine with that! https://tilvids.com/videos/watch/fb46bddd-1f75-4caf-80cd-c9586e90ed18
De même pour moi, depuis que j’ai passer à @bitwarden je suis rester. #lastpass offre de bonnes fonctionnalités mais déjà il y as plusieurs années les intentions des compagnies parentes étaient douteuses. Maintenant avec leur échecs en sécurité, ils sont vraiment morts comme recommendation.
J’ai cessé d’utiliser #lastpass il y as déjà quelques années, a cause de certaines pratiques douteuses.
Je vois que j’ai bien fais! Une chance que j’ai fais détruire mon compte.
Ça fait peur de voir que même une compagnie qui se spécialise en sécurité peut être vulnérable à ça point.

Le piratage de LastPass était finalement plus grave qu'annoncé initialement.
Les voleurs ont TOUS les mots de passe de certains comptes, heureusement chiffrés, mais il ne leur manquerait que la méthode de chiffrement pour les décoder et Hop! Le tour est joué.
It's very disheartening to see that in the space of a month, the majority of images on my feed went from being described to having not even one sentence as a description. I started ID-ing on tumblr but #Mastodon really encouraged me to make it an actual habit.
Please, if you're able to, add descriptions to the pics you post.

I wrote about the “Dick’s Sporting Goods” Yeti cooler scam, why it has slipped past Google’s most sophisticated machine learning tools, and what it means for the future of email spam https://www.wired.com/story/email-scam-dicks-sporting-goods-yeti-cooler/
I hope that everyone in #Canada affected by the #winterstorm is staying safe and warm! Driving to work this morning was a torturous affair and now we’ve added #FreezingRain to the mix! It’s gone quiet but the #weather forecast says it’ll get bad again.
Fun times

Hopefully federation and open source will give us the tools #birdsite never had. For exemple, I’m seriously considering running my own tiny instance with family members and some friends. That way moderation and control stays the way I like it.
And if it all goes belly up, someone will fork it.
(Hopefully that won’t be necessary)
