"It takes one to know one"? 😏
@grishka Yeah, a matter of habit I suppose. Most people have their phone in hand most of the time nowadays — it felt weird for me using the public transportation and seeing even the older people being like that: eyes on their phone most of the time, I only take mine out when I want to reply to a message, look something up or switch to a different album in the audio player 😄
@grishka @zonk
Good! It's still kinda ridiculous: attaching a card to a phone to pretend you are using your phone for payments instead of using the card directly… But at least it's not insecure — in a way it still is as you always carry your card with your phone, sometimes I take just my phone, but not my wallet and vice-versa 🤷
@grishka @zonk
For real? Pure cargo cult!
Having two separate devices is at least more secure. Besides, does it even ask for a PIN? Normally one expects it to be secure because the phone acts as an additional security device that performs a biometrics check of the one holding it prior to responding to a challenge, with phone out of the way and no PIN prompt this is madness! 😱
@mikemathia
THAT can inflict permanent damage even without relying on conventional weaponry 😆

А теперь смогут — да ещё и не совершая для этого никаких дополнительных действий 😨

But they ARE writing code — code of conduct that is 🤣
Happy #Caturday! Here’s Kirby (black void kitty) and Kodo (gray kitty), together the Shadow Ninjas, curled up together in my lap a while back.

@nyanide
No, they aren't. Nothing's on 😩
OMG is that a rare, mythical, two-headed cat?!? Nah... that's just "dad to every cat that enters this house" Oz on the right, with this stepdaughter Ingrid on the left. 😻

If you happen not to be an infosec person, and would just like some advice on how to not get phished, here's one simple non-technical rule that will help:
👉 If you got a message that demands immediate action of you and is making you feel stressed – take a short break.
Deep breaths, make some tea, take a short walk.
Whatever it is, it almost certainly can wait a few minutes. And a few minutes might just be what it takes for you to figure out it's a scam, or ask someone's opinion.

Quake Champions is not a fighting game, but AFAIR it's exactly like that: only 3 or so characters are freely available and those aren't just skins, they have different stats and different special powers.
There was no backlash about it because everyone wanted to own the game to support it anyway — and I can't imagine a serious player using a free account for anything other than seeing if the game runs on the hardware well 🤷
In 2023 #Poland exports ($469b) for the first time surpassed #Russia ($466b). The structure of these exports is also interesting because Poland now mainly exports highly processed manufacturing products (e.g. machines) and advanced services (e.g. business process outsourcing), while Russia as previously exports mostly natural resources. The largest Poland’s export partner is #Germany and, more generally, EU, but US is 8th exports destinations too.
#Mozilla reports that #Firefox #security CVE-2024-9680 is being exploited in the wild
A vulnerability has been discovered in Mozilla Firefox which could allow for arbitrary code execution. Mozilla Firefox is a web browser used to access the Internet. Successful exploitation could allow for arbitrary code execution. Depending on the privileges associated with the user an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
