Hello there!
I boost a lot of posts, but I have a few things to say every now and then.
I am largely fine with boosting posts from people I disagree with even on significant, dividing issues. I usually don't, however, if they actively advocate for these ideas... so it goes :/

INFORMATION SECURITY TIP: If you suddenly find that someone out there has submitted your email address to a ton mailing lists and attempted to register for things using your email address, don't shrug it off. This is potentially serious if it's being done at scale.
Why would someone do this? Assuming it's not just someone harassing you because they don't like you, the main reason someone would do this is to distract you from important email notifications by flooding your inbox with an avalanche of #spam.
If someone gets into your Amazon or eBay account, they can buy a bunch of stuff, but those orders will generate email notifications to tip you off that something is wrong. If your inbox is indecipherable, you might not see that someone is ordering stuff with your credit cards or moving money around.
If this happens to you, watch all of your e-commerce and financial accounts for unusual activity and change your passwords.
@sysop408 Tip: this is known as "email bombing"
It has never happened to me, but I'm not sure what I would do; I guess I'd just comb through for a long time.
@indie1337@vivaldi.net
Verifying...... accurate.
Amen! 😊
@blaine I only say "Mastodon" when speaking about the #Fediverse in the generic sense one uses the word "googling".
@256 Thanks for the alt text ;)
@indie1337@vivaldi.net Well
Maybe if you say goodnight squashes then I can say I'm... *flat*tered
@hn50 I wonder if someday the Fediverse will face this sort of thing....
@indie1337@vivaldi.net Ah, OK.
@zudn Yup! It is.
@zudn I love Gedit. Super simple by default, but as powerful as you need it to be.
It is built with GTK (GTK3, for the version I have anyhow), and seems to work perfectly without GNOME (👍👍).
@indie1337@vivaldi.net Outside of Judaism, I've never heard of people celebrating Passover. If I may ask, what is it like, the way you do it?
@indie1337@vivaldi.net Do you have a celebration for the Resurrection?
@techlore Don't get me wrong, both are bad. But the idea that a piece of software commonly installed on American devices is under the control of China, an enemy, is pretty concerning. Data mining as a general practice is just one of the concerns.
We don't enjoy installing closed-source software from the country we're in, much less installing closed-source software in bulk from an enemy overseas.
@cyberghost@fosstodon.org @tblock Over 4 million... wow!
@survey I'd like to say advanced — I'm certainly not a beginner — but truly, I'm not advanced yet. I'd say intermediate.
Art is an interesting thing. A picture is worth a thousand words, and art has the potential to change hearts and convey meaning at a deep level.
AI art cheapens art.
I'd really hate for meaningful artwork, something that required dedication and heart to create, to be generated at a mere text prompt....
@RevEricBurrowsStone That's OK. Thanks!

From @mullvadnet THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS WRITTEN IN ITS OWN CHAT CONTROL BILL
I know I am US-based, but I've been following this law and what a terrible thing it is. Mullvad coming with receipts to back up this headline.
