“Good morning world, I’m awake and your problem now” are some good words to live by
But guys and gals and all my other pals, your life is worth it and you make someone else’s life in better even if you don’t know it so if your in a dark spot, at least in the US the call the hotline at 988
No the commenter but I think it’s one of those language things where algorithm (at least in the context of social media) has come to mean a personalized feed, like two people have different all feeds versus an algorithm like sorting by hot or active posts that every has the same posts. To your point both are algorithms but it’s one of those thing where the word has taken on its own meaning
I’ve seen them a couple times but I’m pretty sure a store can only have so much money on site. When you have a truck that’s visiting multiple of these stores on their rounds would definitely be a target for your ballsy ner-do-well
Maybe it’s just one of those things where it’s so absurd it’s funny, like the meme man ones such as “as yes the cheese stick hath returned” or a farside
On a similar note, a reason why you shouldn’t respond to spam/scam texts because it basically verifies you as an active phone number. Why waste man/bot power texting numbers that may or may not exist when a majority of your texts will at least be seen by a human which will probably boost their chance
It’s why I tell my friends not to respond even tho some of their responses are really funny
Some smarter ones I see usually range between 2-7 lines of text usually written as a time sensitive question that will affect the totally real persons social or work like
One of my favorite ones was about 5 lines of text that was posed as a date
It was like “Hey Kayla it’s Mike, some short sob story about dating life, hope our first date goes well, then nonsense about dating with an address thrown in
However after the 5 lines it was in Arabic or some similar flowy characters and when I translated it continued “mikes” story about where he was from and how oh so sad his life was
Tldr totally fishing for a pity “sorry wrong number” to see if my phone number would be seen by human
I also said way less than what I was thinking but you pretty much summarized the other half of what I was thinking with people being able to get the authenticator which is in this case the message
OMFG YEEEEEEESSSSS I HATE THOSE
I’m not even super duper security focused I just love the idea of even a bot farm has to guess a code within a 30 second window
Meanwhile sms codes usually expire between a ten minutes and an hour, usually a half hour, but thats if at all
As much as I hate them they’re better than nothing :/
I was even looking at a quest 3 (yes lemmy ik im undoing my privacy efforts). Did I push some secret metric forward because obviously the world revolves around me ^/s
