It's frankly scary how much data I give them as a result of the sheer convenience of it. (I've always been aware of this, but never really thought about it too much.)
I find personal location tracking super useful for a lot of things - that's my current research area... traccar looking like a clear favourite.
did you move forward on Traccar? I looked at alternatives and then realised I could 1 click install Traccar on Home Assistant. Long term Iโll put it in docker but as a test, itโs working really well.

"Solidifying your legacy on equal rights with a final action on the ERA would be a defining moment for the historic Biden-Harris administration and your presidency," said the lawmakers.

@weyoun6 well lucky them we got a loser president who won't even make the effort to bully them into it. hopefully trump wants the era (ha!) no but seriously, there are much more important things on the agenda. its hard to manage an entire genocide when you can only function between 10am and 6pm.
it's a mistake to think the ERA is supported by voters in the US. Given this "one weird trick" to get a constitutional amendment was obviously doomed to fail, I think the effort spent on it has been a waste.

The terminology here is surely a warning that we can now no longer imagine a world where our lives and happiness don't depend on benevolent capitalism. The start of the article uses the term "engaging with", an understandable analysis, while the headline uses a term implying scarcity, supply, demand, economic ideology, "consuming", when, of all things, culture and the arts exist because we are human, not because it's dished out. </GRUMP_AGAINST_MODERNITY> theguardian.com/society/2024/dโฆ
Nonprofit work is hard. It takes a lot of time, dedication and, more often than not, you see volunteers taking in multiple different tasks and responsibilities to keep everything running. Thankfully, we occasionally get external contributors that help us out!
For instance, I would post something serious so as to promote our nonprofit, but it seems like #GitHub decided to help us with the marketing for the day by sending a bunch of its users (multiple) emails about GitHub Copilot. ๐
This is intended to be a lighthearted post, but if you're interested in helping us, as well as other self-hosters and public instances, you may be interested in Forgejo's issue tracker.
(We are also happy to help you find something else. :D)
And adding a chat prompt to the home screen that's impossible to get rid of without either paying for Copilot or using an adblock extension to manually pick the element. It's a shitshow.
Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed and/or setup subscriptions recently - we are now at just over 40% of our subscription goal and we have received a few generous contributions that will help make up the gap in the short run. Again - let's give it until January 20th and then it will be decision time. If we do close the site then, of course, all subscriptions will be cancelled and we will end with a bank account balance of zero, but let's hope for a Christmas miracle :)

I went to GDC for the first (and last) time this year. Microsoft put on a big seminar about how "AI" will help gamedevs. Call me innocent, but my heart sank a bit when I saw them doing this. Sure, start-ups, tech bros, hucksters, and MBAs are all selling "AI" now. And I know Microsoft is evil. I just didn't expect to see them blatantly taking part in this with the rest of those grifters.
I find the idea that I have six free code completions and 8 free chat suggestions per month, or whatever they're pushing, really off-putting.
Feels like the subscription model is metastasizing. Next they'll be telling us we get 100 semi-colons/month with the basic package, we'll need to upgrade to pro if we need more.
@moyi well? I'm not a marxist myself but seeing you guys so confident in your ignorance is pathetic.
Marx's thesis was that the working class should, in violent revolution, overthrow the capitalist class and take away from them the means of production. What part of this is "free stuff"?
Depuis un certain temps, les responsables politiques franรงais ne parlent que de rรฉindustrialisation. Avec des annรฉes de retard, ils ont fini par rรฉaliser que lโindustrie, finalement, รฉtait importante. Non seulement en elle-mรชme, mais pour les effets dโentraรฎnement quโelle a sur lโensemble de lโรฉconomie. Sโil en รฉtait besoin, la crise du covid, les tensions gรฉopolitiques, les guerres commerciales, la transition รฉcologique sont venues rappeler combien il est essentiel de maรฎtriser nombre de productions, de chaรฎnes de valeur, de canaux dโapprovisionnement et de technologies.
Nรฉanmoins, cโest dans une quasi-indiffรฉrence quโils assistent ร la destruction industrielle actuellement ร lโลuvre et qui prend une tournure catastrophique. Chaque jour ou presque, un nouveau plan social, une nouvelle fermeture de site sont annoncรฉs. Va-t-on atteindre un palier irrรฉversible, en deรงร duquel toute perspective de reconstruire une industrie va devenir irrรฉaliste ? Des pneus dรฉposรฉs ร l'entrรฉe de lโusine Michelin de Cholet lors dโune grรจve des salariรฉs, le 21 novembre 2024. ยฉ Photo Loรฏc Venances / AFP
ยซ Il est difficile de parler dโun seuil de masse critique pour lโindustrie, cadre Vincent Vicard, auteur de Faut-il rรฉindustrialiser la France ? et รฉconomiste au Centre dโรฉtudes prospectives et d'informations internationales (Cepii). Mais il est indรฉniable quโil existe des logiques industrielles, des รฉcosystรจmes. Leur rรดle est compliquรฉ ร รฉvaluer. Ils peuvent varier selon les secteurs : la dรฉfense et lโaรฉronautique nโont pas les mรชmes ressorts que lโautomobile. Leur disparition a des effets trรจs longs et prรฉjudiciables, notamment au niveau local. ยป Une industrie rรฉduite ร peau de chagrin
Michelin, Valeo, Fonderie de Bretagne, ArcelorMittal ร Reims et ร Denain, tout le secteur automobile, qui connaรฎt une crise sans prรฉcรฉdent, se retrouve en premiรจre ligne. Lโรฉmergence du vรฉhicule รฉlectrique, qui bouleverse les technologies, les savoir-faire acquis depuis plus dโun siรจcle, la concurrence sans frein chinoise, mais aussi des stratรฉgies cupides inadaptรฉes sont en train dโรฉbranler une filiรจre qui est au cลur de lโรฉconomie europรฉenne. Donnant un aperรงu des dรฉgรขts provoquรฉs par une transition รฉcologique et industrielle mal pensรฉe et mal conduite.
Mais les sinistres ne sโarrรชtent pas lร et vont bien au-delร des conflits sociaux emblรฉmatiques de Vencorex ou Exxon. Chimie, papier, mรฉtallurgie, matรฉriaux de construction, รฉquipements industriels et mรชme pharmacieโฆ pas un secteur industriel ne semble รฉpargnรฉ. La CGT a recensรฉ 286 plans sociaux depuis septembre 2023. Il faut remonter aux annรฉes sombres de la crise de 2009-2010 pour retrouver une saignรฉe comparable.
Le drame est que ces nouvelles destructions viennent affaiblir un peu plus un tissu industriel dรฉjร particuliรจrement fragilisรฉ. ร lโexception de la Grande-Bretagne, aucun autre pays europรฉen que la France ne sโest converti avec autant de zรจle aux ยซ lois darwiniennes ยป du marchรฉ. Aucun nโa acceptรฉ une dรฉsindustrialisation aussi accรฉlรฉrรฉe. Un mouvement souvent poussรฉ par nos ยซ champions nationaux ยป adeptes des dรฉlocalisations ร outrance, et dโune industrie sans usines.
Entre 1974 et aujourdโhui, la part de lโindustrie dans le PIB est tombรฉe de 28,7 % ร 10 % โ un niveau comparable ร celui de ces grands pays industriels que sont le Luxembourg ou Malte โ, quand elle est encore de 23 % en Allemagne, de 18 % en Italie. Ces derniers ont pourtant des coรปts salariaux comparables.
Un des exemples les plus marquants est ร nouveau dans le secteur automobile. Depuis la fin des annรฉes 1990, nos deux constructeurs ont systรฉmatiquement optรฉ pour la dรฉlocalisation dans des pays ร bas coรปts. Dรจs 2015, Renault et PSA produisaient moins de voitures sur le territoire franรงais quโau dรฉbut des annรฉes 1960, entraรฎnant dรฉjร la fermeture ou la dรฉlocalisation de nombre de leurs sous-traitants.
ยซ Pour acheter un vรฉhicule produit en France, il va falloir acheter du Toyota ยป, grince, amรจre, Sophie Binet. Le constructeur automobile japonais continue, lui, de produire en France et gagne de lโargent, ce qui tend ร prouver quโil nโy a pas de fatalitรฉ ร la dรฉsindustrialisation. Encore faut-il en avoir lโambition. Effet domino
Ces abandons industriels se sont accompagnรฉs dโune destruction considรฉrable du capital humain, rarement prise en compte. Des savoir-faire, des compรฉtences, accumulรฉs parfois depuis des dรฉcennies, ont รฉtรฉ liquidรฉs dans lโindiffรฉrence gรฉnรฉrale. Entre 1974 et 2023, le nombre dโemplois dans lโindustrie est tombรฉ de 5,5 millions ร 3,2 millions. ยซ Les nouvelles technologies, la hausse de la productivitรฉ ont conduit ร la suppression dโune partie des emplois industriels. Mais dโune partie seulement ยป, explique Vincent Vicard.
Les politiques publiques mises en ลuvre ces derniรจres annรฉes ont juste permis de stabiliser le nombre dโemplois industriels. Mais une nouvelle hรฉmorragie se profile. Selon les estimations de la CGT, plus de 70 586 emplois sont directement menacรฉs. Auxquels il faut ajouter la menace sur les emplois indirects, qui pourraient aller de 54 664 ร 129 744 postes, selon ses hypothรจses.
Lโeffet domino risque de jouer ร plein. Au-delร de la fermeture dโun site, de la suppression dโemplois, tout le tissu รฉconomique environnant, des clients aux fournisseurs, en passant par les prestataires de services sont menacรฉs. Car, mรชme rรฉduite, lโindustrie reste lโun des principaux vecteurs de la crรฉation dโemploi ร haute valeur ajoutรฉe โ recherche et innovation, cabinets dโingรฉnierie, informatique, gestion des donnรฉes, cybersรฉcuritรฉ, financement et mรชme avocats dโaffaires โ, devenus indispensables ร lโรฉconomie. Lorsquโun site industriel disparaรฎt, ils disparaissent aussi, si la dynamique territoriale nโest pas suffisante pour permettre leur maintien.
Trente ans ou quarante ans aprรจs, des territoires entiers dans le Nord, les Vosges, le Centre ou ailleurs portent encore les stigmates de la disparition de leurs usines textiles, miniรจres, mรฉtallurgiques, de chaussures ou dโรฉlectromรฉnager. Peu dโactivitรฉs sont parvenues ร prendre le relais.
Les gouvernements successifs nโont guรจre tirรฉ de leรงons de ces expรฉriences amรจres. Ne jurant que par la politique de lโoffre, toutes leurs initiatives menรฉes pour tenter dโattirer des investisseurs, de nouveaux sites industriels, reposent sur les mรชmes ingrรฉdients. Lโattractivitรฉ se dรฉcline sous le seul angle dโune compรฉtitivitรฉ par lโabaissement du coรปt du travail en nรฉgligeant tous les autres paramรจtres.
Plus de 26,8 milliards dโeuros ont รฉtรฉ dispensรฉs par an depuis 2020 en allรฉgements fiscaux et sociaux et en subventions, distribuรฉs sans contrepartie ni contrรดle, selon la Cour des comptes. Pour un rรฉsultat des plus mรฉdiocres, de lโavis mรชme de lโinstitution. ยซ Les projets en France comportent moins de crรฉations de site quโen Allemagne et au Royaume-Uni ยป, note-t-elle dans son dernier rapport sur la politique industrielle publiรฉe fin novembre. Absence de dynamique
Le constat nโest guรจre รฉtonnant. Ces derniรจres annรฉes, une vรฉritable bataille sโest engagรฉe entre les pays, notamment en Europe, afin dโattirer de nouvelles industries, de rattraper les retards accumulรฉs dans les nouvelles technologies (semi-conducteurs, intelligence artificielle, mรฉdicaments, gigafactories). Les grands groupes font monter les enchรจres autant quโils le peuvent, essayant de dรฉcrocher les conditions les plus favorables en termes de subventions, exemptions par rapport au fisc, au droit du travail, au droit de lโenvironnement et autres.
Dans ces bagarres, la France est le plus souvent perdante. Non pas parce quโelle offre moins dโargent public, ou moins dโexemptions. Mais parce que lโattractivitรฉ se mesure bien au-delร du coรปt du travail. Elle englobe une sรฉrie de facteurs que les politiques industrielles nโont cessรฉ de nรฉgliger. En termes de compรฉtences, de savoir-faire, de dynamique industrielle, la France offre beaucoup moins que les pays voisins en concurrence.
Les grandes plateformes industrielles, offrant dรฉbouchรฉs, filiรจres, rรฉservoir de main-dโลuvre formรฉe, universitรฉs, centres de recherche, sont de moins en moins nombreuses. Les dรฉpenses de recherche et dรฉveloppement, dโinnovation ont รฉtรฉ dรฉlรฉguรฉes, au nom de la bonne gestion, au privรฉ. En dรฉpit de lโexplosion du crรฉdit dโimpรดt recherche (plus de 7 milliards dโeuros en 2023), la recherche franรงaise ne cesse de reculer. Les รฉcoles de commerce ont รฉtรฉ privilรฉgiรฉes aux formations dโingรฉnieurs.
Et pour faire bonne mesure, les pouvoirs publics, au nom de la bonne gestion, ont supprimรฉ nombre de services publics โ tribunaux, perceptions, gares, puis hรดpitaux, postes et maintenant รฉcoles โ, dรฉgradant un peu plus lโattractivitรฉ des territoires les moins bien lotis, accรฉlรฉrant lโexode des emplois plus qualifiรฉs vers les grands centres.
Si aucune politique dโenvergure ne vient arrรชter la destruction industrielle en cours et corriger les excรจs passรฉs, cette dรฉsertification รฉconomique risque de sโaccรฉlรฉrer, accentuant le sentiment dโabandon de nombreux habitants sur tout le territoire. Elle risque aussi de condamner lโรฉconomie franรงaise ร une stagnation, nโรฉtant plus capable de crรฉer que des emplois de troisiรจme zone, prรฉcarisรฉs et mal payรฉs.
nope, I got nerdsniped by the changelog, but that's a job that had to happen before 4.0 anyway. I'll do the tarball tomorrow perhaps. There's still a stack of issues that need to be added, but I'll do that another time.
There's probably a thread in what I want to achieve with the changelog/release notes, but the short version is I think it's hard because it requires altering your perspective from developer to user (or occasionally packager).
For example I just removed an entry that says "The HTML-based configuration UI now uses Alpine.js instead of AngularJS" because this should be invisible to users and packagers, and it is not actionable.
The Rust port is a high-priority entry, not because it has any impact on day-to-day use of fish, but because it has major implications on packagers -- including the dropping of at least one platform.
Anyway, this is probably the biggest blocker of releases: I spend a lot of time polishing the release notes. It is not clear to me whether the cost is worth it.
It's not cutting the actual release, which is about fifteen minutes of copy-pasting from the checklist and waiting for various processes. Communicating the release also takes a lot longer than actually making it.
These are the draft release notes for fish 4.0.0. Like this release of fish itself, they are in beta and are not complete. Please report any issues you find.
fishโs core code has been ported from C...
Iโm wondering why this is? โDownload links: To download the source code for fish, we suggest the file named "fish-4.0b1.tar.xz". The file downloaded from "Source code (tar.gz)" will not build correctly. The SHA-256 sum of this file is 534334e10f85722214e9daff82a57cc3501235523f16f8f131c2344e4ec98da7. A GPG signature from David Adam (key ID 0x7A67D962D88A709A) is available as "fish-4.0b1.tar.xz.asc".โ
most CHANGELOG/release notes don't really seem to have any impact on the adoption of the program. Every Android app just says "Bug fixes and improvements", autogenerated texts like Homebrew's are impenetrable, and they're doing way better than we are at getting releases out the door.

Super Bayrou : ร 73 ans, ce parasite de lโargent public cumule 6 fonctions importantes !

Lโactuel Premier ministre Franรงois Bayrou cumule, ร 73 ans, une impressionnante liste de postes importants : Premier ministre dโun pays en ruines, Maire de Pau (ville de 77.000 habitants, travail qui devrait, ร lui seul, lui prendre 100% de son temps), Prรฉsident de la communautรฉ dโagglomรฉration Pau Bรฉarn Pyrรฉnรฉes (164.785 habitants, 144 millions de budget), Prรฉsident du MoDem depuis 17 ans (rรฉรฉlu prรฉsident avec 96 % des suffrages exprimรฉs, un score stalinien), Co-prรฉsident du Parti Dรฉmocrate Europรฉen, haut-commissaire au Plan et secrรฉtaire gรฉnรฉral du CNR et il veut rรฉtablir le cumul des mandats.

The League's purpose is, quite simply, to support the principle of Monarchy. It represents adherents of differing styles of Monarchy, from Constitutionalists to Absolutists, recognizing that differing traditions require differing styles of leadership.
The only reason to have a universalist religion is control. The pagan gods were specific to cultures, but even more were hierarchical and esoteric. No use as a control structure. But enter in the Abrahamic gods, and you sudden have Truth to worship, and it must be imposed on all, especially those ignorant and uneducated pagans, for us to reach Babel Utopia. I do not disagree with the aim of the Christian religion -- increased holiness through mental self-discipline, basically what Plato and Buddha said -- but I disagree with the method, which is universalism expressed as metaphysical dualism.

So, if youโre a dedicated PC gamer, you're not content to just collect games through Steam. Nah. Youโre probably getting your games through other stores as well!
And if youโve got an Amazon Prime account, you can get a bunch of free games each month across the most popular stores, too! For instance, I just got BioShock through GOG because of my Amazon Prime subscription. But how do you actually PLAY GOG Games on your Steam Deck? Thatโs exactly what this video is going to cover.
Keep in mind that for this video Iโm using a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard connected to my Steam Deck, but all of this is possible to do with just the built-in controls. If you get to point where the right trackpad is no longer controlling your mouse cursor, you can hold the Steam button and it will put the right trackpad into mouse mode. You can also hold the Steam button and press X to bring up the virtual keyboard.
Now, there are two ways to do this and weโll cover them both. Then weโll review the pros and cons of each method, so stick around to the end of the video for that!
Heroic Game Launcher
The first option is Heroic Games Launcher. Heroic is a separate application from Steam, but it also offers greater flexibility and control over the games you have installed, how theyโre launched, and their Proton configuration. If you like having control and you donโt mind a few minor inconveniences, Heroic is an excellent option.
The first step to getting set up is to switch over to Desktop mode. Hit the STEAM button, then go to Power โ Switch to Desktop Mode.
Now, letโs open up Discover store. If itโs not down here on your task bar, you can click on the Deck logo and search for Discover.
Next, letโs apply any updates that are pending. This can take a few minutes.
Finally, in the search field type in โHeroic Gamesโ and it should be the first result. Once itโs done installing, Iโd recommend going into the Start menu, search for โHeroic Games,โ and then right-click (left trigger if youโre using the Deckโs controls), then select โAdd to Steam.โ This will enable you to launch Heroic from game mode.
Now, letโs launch Heroic and click on โManage Accounts.โ This will allow you to sign in to your GOG Account as well as your Epic Games and Amazon Prime accounts.
Go ahead and get logged in here and then letโs head to the Library page. Iโm gonna install BioShock as well as SimCity 2000. Iโm gonna try SC2K first. It will ask about which version of Proton you want to use. You can just select OK here. After a few moments, the game should launch. And thereโs SimCity 2000.
Letโs see about BioShock. Again, we have the usual installation process and then the game launches. Excellent.
I want to point out that if you find Heroic Game Launcher worth your while, you can support them on Patreon or Ko-fi. Theyโre a truly awesome utility and Linux gaming would be worse off without them.
At any point, we can head back into game mode, navigate to Library โ Non-Steam Games โ Heroic Games Launcher. Once youโve got it started, you can launch any game. To get back to Heroic while your game is running, you can hit the STEAM button. Youโll see Heroic Games Launcher at the top of the options on the left. Go into this menu and then, at the bottom of the list youโll see Heroic Games Launcher. This will let you switch window has focus.
Junk-Store
At the top of this video, I mentioned that there are two ways to set up GOG games on your Deck. The first way (Heroic) is simpler to get started with. The other?
The other is a little more involved. Itโs also not free. But I does provide a way to get your GOG games feeling a little more โat homeโ on your Deck.
To get started, youโll need to set up DeckyLoader. Iโve made a video about that here. This step is crucial so make sure you check that out. When youโve got DeckyLoader set up, come back here.
The next step, letโs go into Game Mode, push the Quick Access Menu button and then go to the plugins tab. Here, youโll see the store icon in the top right. Open that up and then search for Junk-Store.
Go ahead and install it. This plugin initially only gives you access to Epic Games which you are free to take advantage of. But if you want GOG, there are a few more steps we need to take.
Letโs drop into Desktop mode. Hit the STEAM button, then go to Power โ Switch to Desktop Mode.
Open up your favorite web browser and head to one of the two links in the description; choose between JunkStoreโs Patreon and Ko-fi pages. You can either become a Patron of their campaign and contribute monthly, or you can buy the GOG extension for a one time payment of $6.
Once youโve made your purchase, download the latest version of the GOG extension and then open the zip file. Now, open up Dolphin (the file manager) and go to your home folder. Next, find Homebrew โ data โ Junk-Store. Finally, extract these files here.
Now, click Start and log out. Once youโre back in game mode, letโs hit the Quick Access Button and then navigate to Plugins โ JunkStore โ โAboutโ. Finally, go to the dependencies tab and hit โInstall Dependenciesโ
Once this is complete, weโre ready to install games from our GOG Library. Go back into the Junk-Store plugin. Then select Games. At the top of the screen you should see supported stores including GOG and EPIC. On the GOG tab, you should see a โLoginโ button. Letโs hit that and then fill in our credentials. After a few moments, you should see your GOG library appear.
Go ahead and install your favorite games and launch them!
Once your games are installed, you can launch them from this screen or from the Non-Steam Games section of your Library.
If youโre enjoying this video and want to see more content like this, go ahead and hit that like button. I post new videos every Monday and Friday so get subscribed so you donโt miss that! You can also support the work Iโm doing here on Patreon or as a YouTube Member. Now, letโs get to the pros and cons.
Pros and Cons
Aside from the obvious differences of UI and ease of installation, why would you want one over the other?
The way I see it, there are two big things to consider.
JunkStore offers a simply and easy way to get a game installed into your Steam library where Heroic does not. Why is that important? And itโs because games installed through JunkStore can have their own individual Steam Input profiles set.
There are ways to do this with Heroic, but itโs much more of a manual process.
JunkStore also uses the native Steam Play support afforded by Steam. This means that managing which version of Proton the game runs through is a breeze. But it also is limited.
Heroic, on the other hand, gives you many more options when it comes to setup. If you need finer control, Heroic is the way to go.
So thatโs the video. No matter which option you decide to go with, youโve now got access to your GOG Library on Steam Deck. Even better: both of these options should work on other Linux gaming distros, as well.
I want to give a special shoutout to my Patrons and my YouTube Members. These folks make my work possible. You can find details on how to get your name listed here with the link below. Thatโs going to do it for now. Thanks for watching. I hope you all have a great day and Iโll see you next time!

Heroic Launcher is absolutely awesome. It's such a great way to add non-Steam games to your library, without having to do all the manual setup yourself. It's a seriously impressive piece of work.
I'd love to see something like Heroic become the basis of an alternative shell environment for handhelds. SteamOS is great, but there just aren't really any open alternatives to Big Picture Mode yet.

To take advantage of his current lofty perspective, he rigged up a special star tracking mount that he could use to take long-exposure astrophotos from the ISS. The homemade orbital sidereal tracker rotates at a 90-minute period to match the pitch rate of the ISS, allowing him to take 30-second exposures.
Trump is sticking with his destroyers because they're his people. We're told that this time around, he's vastly less inclined to second-guess his instincts when senators or advisers warn him to be more cautious.

everything is in position to start welding on the frame. my only hope is now that i didn't embed little bits of paint in the metal by grinding that will contaminate the welds. that, and any paint on the back side is going to catch on fire, and a few of them are near the fuel line.
maybe i'll keep the fire extinguisher handy over here and a spray bottle of water...

Large firms have been less impacted by the changes the Brexit has brought to cross border trade with the EU;
for the most part the largest firms have managed to maintain or expand their business across borders by responding to the new situation... however, overall imports & exports have declined because other than the top 20% of firms all the rest have either reduced or completely stopped their trade with Europe.
For an economy as open as the UK this is seriously concerning!
The DNC hacks can't handle it Trump broke them even more after they tried to get rid of him after cheating him out of a second term Now he's won the Electoral College and Popular Vote They have no argument here nor care for the Constitution They just want to do whatever they want with rules the make up as they go as long as it ensures they are in power She's on her way out anyway

Today's story features interviews with two recent cryptocurrency heist victims (one who lost > $4.5M) who were hit by the same scammers. The fraudsters used:
-Google Assistant to automate outgoing calls to victims warning of a security incident with their account, and to press 1 to speak to a rep;
-An email from google.com warning about an email hacking incident, including the name and phone number of the Google rep who will be calling. The alerts were sent via Google Forms, which makes them come from google.com.
-Victims were convinced someone had taken over their accounts when they received an alert pop up on their mobile from Google, asking if they were trying to recover access to their account. By this time, the victims were convinced they were talking with Google, and clicked "yes, it's me" trying to recover access:
How to Lose a Fortune with Just One Bad Click
Adam Griffin is still in disbelief over how quickly he was robbed of nearly $500,000 in cryptocurrencies. A scammer called using a real Google phone number to warn his Gmail account was being hacked, sent email security alerts directly from google.com, and ultimately seized control over the account by convincing him to click โyesโ to a Google prompt on his mobile device.

"Tony told KrebsOnSecurity that in the weeks following the theft of his 45 bitcoins, he became so consumed with rage and shame that he was seriously contemplating suicide. Then one day, while scouring the Internet for signs that others may have been phished by Daniel, he encountered Griffin posting on Reddit about the phone number involved in his recent bitcoin theft.
Griffin said the two of them were initially suspicious of each other โ exchanging cautious messages for about a week โ but he decided Tony was telling the truth after contacting the FBI agent that Tony said was working his case. Comparing notes, they discovered the fake Google security alerts they received just prior to their individual bitcoin thefts referenced the same phony โGoogle Support Case IDโ number."
2) "years ago he used Google Photos to store an image of the secret seed phrase that was protecting his cryptocurrency wallet"
3) "Google Authenticator by default also makes the same codes available in oneโs Google account online"
next person:
4) "I put my seed phrase into a phishing site"
This is not a post about people being dumb, on the contrary. It's too easy to put trust into the wrong apps/web sites - and that's where the real issue lies.
The lesson should be: Your data is not safe in the cloud. Stop putting pictures, codes and security backups there.
I'm constantly hearing how crypto people are losing everything and yet they go on and on and on about how secure it is, and it just reminds me the whole thing is a con and a criminal enterprise.
"In reality, the thieves caused the alert to appear on his phone merely by stepping through Googleโs account recovery process for Griffinโs Gmail address." Does this mean they had his password or auth code? Recovery notification couldn't be sent otherwise.
So much silliness because someone was too cheap to spend $50 on a proper fido2 hardware key. (I like the yubi, but there are other options)
Word to the wise: your cellular phone is a horrible MFA factor. Just horrible. If someone wants you to use your cell for MFA - add a heaping helping of mistrust there, because it means they don't listen to (or maybe have) security folks.
Thats going to be our Social Security Fund in a few months unless we find a way to stop the Republican Mafia from โinvestingโ (stealing) OUR hard earned retirement fund ๐
I recall pundits saying just that in 2021, re. the cheating in AZ.
For a quick minute in 2021 it seemed that the AZ house of election cards would fall, but then, no, it never was actually even close to falling and continued on in fine form for the 2022 midterm and 2024 down ballot cheats.
