> we currently have a 19% interest rate
And the Chairman of the Board of one of the largest banks, who is loyal to the state, he owes everything to the current authorities, 100% state man and has zero incentive to exaggerate things, expects it to be increased up to 21% till the end of this year 😱

Damn, I didn't know that Philip Zimbardo is the one behind Stanford prison experiment. For me he was the author of Man (Dis)connected) that I have on one of the bookshelves — that's why I even remember the name: it gets picked up by peripheral vision from time to time. I didn't expect that book to have been written by someone with a (relatively) big name 😱

"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 😨

@romin
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.

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 🤷

@dcc @iska
Me too. Running Android is already a huge compromise — unfortunately, no other mobile OS gives me an even remotely comparable battery life on the device I have, but I'm not running Chrome anywhere ever.
