Elon must act to stop the tide of frauds swamping Twitter - Ed Sheeran, Bear Grylls, Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Holland have all had their names exploited in scam tweets. So, ironically, has Elon Musk.

  • I have read that scammers try to make the scams look fake and crappy because they don't want to entice any actually clever people - that's more trouble than it's worth. These are simple.scams for simple people.

    • Parts of Italy could see highs of 48°C in the coming days stoking fears of an increase in heat-related deaths. Croatia, France, Greece, Spain and Turkey could also face temperatures of around 40°C.

  • 48 degrees Celsius (predicted temp) and 53% humidity (the humidity in Southern Italy today) is a wet bulb temperature of 38.52 degrees Celsius. In the danger zone.

    • Any good alternatives to browsers?

    Jump

  • I like Brave on my Android phone, too. I use the browser and its search engine (which is OK, DDG and Bing gets me better / different results).

    • Anna’s Archive

    Jump

  • So, how do you download and use PDFs from Anna's Archive or a similar site? Do you download it to a computer that you just use for downloads, then scan the file using Virus Total, then read only on that computer? (I usually read on my phone using Overdrive, just trying to figure out the safest way as a newbie).

    • Everyone I've talked to about joining Mastodon/Lemmy/The Fediverse

  • Tell them it's a secret club that you've formed with friends. Set it up for them on their computer or phone. It might make it seem fun.

    • Desperate or just business as normal?

    Jump

  • Omg that's good! I wonder what the limit is on how much a single post or comment could earn. Like, say, you have $100,000 to wash - could that go to one post, or 100,000 posts? Does Reddit take any percentage of the earnings (not.sure if that was mentioned in the article)?

  • I'm glad I left Reddit but I would appreciate screenshots once they launch this change.

    • TV Show Recommendations

    Jump

  • I don't know if this will still work but I found most of them on YouTube and Dailymotion using a VPN (but they get removed quickly). Maybe if you use a VPN that can change your location (the one I use does not offer that) and see the episodes on the Channel 4 app for free (I believe that's where they moved most of the UK series).

    I haven't checked but I've heard others say they were able to watch all of the Australian and New Zealand version series of Taskmaster without any issue. I've heard they're just as funny (if a slightly different feel due to different hosts).

    • TV Show Recommendations

    Jump

  • I loved all of these. I'd recommend:

    • The Mindy Project
    • Toast of London
    • Crashing
    • Taskmaster
    • Man Down
    • Nighty Night (this one might be too dark for you, but give it a try)

    • TV Show Recommendations

    Jump

  • Also the original run of the following two series:

    • Arrested Development
    • Mr. Show

  • https://kbin.social/u/@Isotretinoin@lemmy.ml that was so kind to inquire. No, I haven't done it yet. I'm gathering info for when I bite the bullet and buy a laptop specifically for sailing the high seas. Right now I'm just streaming from YT with an ad blocker. I'll save your reply for the future in case I need to reach out for help. TY!

    • What's a band that you like that was gone way too soon?

  • Would you know of something similar for kbin? This only tracks Lemmy instances.
