Ah, I had been wondering if this is new, or I had just never noticed it. So it’s the latter, good to know.
It’s kind of genius as well… A single comment will get the attention of potentially dozens of people, sent to a valid email address without having to guess/buy lists, and there’s an air of “trust” around the (completely legit) mail you then get from github, containing the link.
Oh god
Although… Do you think VideCodersTM read github issues?
I got a spam message with a phishing link… Via Github? Seriously? Are we really doing this?
Not a completely unusual comment… From the URL it was very obvious that this was a phishing link though. Curiosity got the better of me. The site shows you a “cloudflare” captcha. OK, let’s click the checkbox. The usual loading animation starts, then this is shown:
Yeah ok, right…
I’m actually a bit impressed with this, these captchas are so common, I didn’t even really think about checking the box. But of course, that interaction means the browser will allow the site to add something to your clipboard.
But like… Why distribute it via Github? I cannot think of a worse audience to try and con into “paste something random into your windows console”. Am I just being naive here? Is this something common I somehow never experienced before?
Dang… The author realized an actual problem / inconvenience people had, and somehow went on to think “I know! I’ll have a random nonsense generator make up the data! That’s a great solution!”
Such a treasure of a channel
What could possibly go wrong!
Kagi lenses “focus” the search. So normal web search definitely can contain fediverse results, but with the lens switched on, you ONLY get fediverse results.
It’s a good day to be an EU citizen.
Just like yesterday.
just like tomorrow.
Just like any other day except whenever some asshole pushes for ChatControl
Yeah, that this happens elsewhere I have no doubt, I just never noticed on GH before.
