You are not immune to being scammed.
Today I was half a second away from tapping a link in an SMS that was informing me I need to renew my credit card details because my CC was expiring.
My CC IS expiring this month. I updated my CC details on two other services yesterday. Through sheer dumb luck the scammer happened to bait their hook correctly.
I must not be complacent.
Complacency is the opsec-killer.
Complacency is the little death that brings identity theft.

In response to this post@alshafei @anildash @pluralistic RSS is the true triumph here. It's one of those standards that is old and widespread enough to have been incorporated into the background texture of the internet.
It's a pity federated XMPP was deliberately destroyed by every major player. There was a brief golden era there in the mid-00s where it seemed like a better future was possible; then the walls went up.

In response to this post@mattblaze Election security is a great way to check whether someone really considers the holistic result of the use of technology, or whether they assume "more technology = more gooder". Paper ballots marked by hand look archaic at first glance but solve SO MANY very hard problems. It's amazing.

In response to this post@Unixbigot Good time for a "definitely not a bomb" buried copper layer. Just to reassure them.
