New iPhone scam can empty bank accounts, experts warn — here’s how to protect your money

hi @Marek 🇦🇺🇩🇪 @Friendly Koala @Friendica Support
after much prevarication, due to the unsolved issue of the instance not fetching most of my followed hashtags [latest post: https://friendica.au/display/f3535bde-5769-d73a-ae22-15e898311506], i decided this arvo to press ahead anyway & import my Masto contacts here, via the corresponding Masto following_accounts.csv file. it did not work; nothing happened, despite a brief popup msg telling me the import had finished.
wondering if the #friendica contacts tool possibly didn't like the other account info after each account name [various combos of true, false], i edited the text file to remove them all, & retried. it still didn't work.
i feel a bit silly, in that there must be some obvious error i'm making, but atm i can't see it.
this is a sample from the edited file i've tried to import:
1earthmedia@universeodon.com
wansti@friendica.au
thisweekinkde@social.opendesktop.org
newd_bot@chinwag.org
lowqualityfacts@mstdn.socialis there something wrong with that format pls?
there are 289 entries in the file, fwiw.

The Fediverse deserves a dumb graphical client
I love the Fediverse. I have been on it for years, and it remains the only social network where I actually enjoy spending time. No algorithmic feed pushing outrage, no dark patterns, no surveillance capitalism. Just people talking to each other over an open protocol.
But every time I wanted to recommend it to someone, I ran into the same wall: the clients are heavy. Mastodon's web interface ships megabytes of JavaScript. Elk, Phanpy, Ivory, beautiful apps, but they require a modern browser, a fast connection, and a device manufactured in the last five years ...

decided that for the next talk i give, i'm going to store the slides in DNS TXT records and retrieve and reassemble them in real time for the presentation.
it's going to go so badly. so so badly.
That's a fun idea. I hope it works out well. The magic is in the audience not knowing. That way, you can astound them.
And not to compare this idea with someone else's, but it reminds me of something which first made me happy and then made me sad. I tell the tale so it's the universe's problem now.
The first time I saw Dan Kaminsky give a talk, it was in one of the outdoor tents at the Alexis Park. This mother fucker, this beautiful man, did a talk about storing data in DNS records. And, he showed a video clip from Robot Chicken playing from DNS.

A Century of #Computing:
• 1930s—mathematicians conceived of mechanising computation
• 1940s—physicists and electrical engineers (EE) designed and built electronic computers
• 1950s—business computing (IT) split off from business management
• 1960s—computer science (CS) split off from maths and EE
• 1970s—statistics became mechanised, thereby laying the foundation for automated decision making
• 1980s—computer engineering (CE) split off from EE and CS
• 1990s—web technologies swamped IT but, for obvious reasons, this practice area never attained the "academic discipline" status
• 2000s—data science (DS) split off from CS and stats
• 2010s—all computing-related disciplines embraced AI
• 2020s—AI ramped up its campaign to eradicate all computing-related fields
• 2030s—no one on earth understands computing anymore
Coming soon: Arnold Schwarzenegger comes back in time to kill Sarah Connor and be governor of California again.
I've always hated the term "data science". DS is many things, but science isn't one of them.
I’m 💯% with you—on both matters😆, especially as to the “DS” nomenclature.
