  • quantity over quality is a pretty effective scam technique, it's hard to get money from experienced technical users. So the initial hook is sometimes designed to intentionally be obvious to those users so they know to ignore it, so that the scammers don't waste their resources on the later stages of the scam

  • got an email during university that I had been given access to an array of digital resources for free, all I had to do was link my university email credentials. Only after I had already done that did I realize how sketchy it was, but then it did actually turn out to be legit. Wish i remembered/still had access I remember there being some good stuff on there

  • hmmm I thought I did, I saw a little bit on Twitter talking about the video essays discussing the allegations. And then the tweet from the alleged victim saying that it was nothing, and then a tweet from someone who I thought was the creator of one of the video essays saying that the above alleged victim was not actually one of the victims they talked about.

    But now I can't find any of that exchange, or even the original video essays, and all the news outlets are referencing just that tweet from the alleged victim and only seem to be referencing a single victim, but that might just be that the news outlets are trying to post things too early

  • yeah, OsmAnd is open source, so someone else built it to be released on fdroid, and the original developers have said that they don't have a problem with that I think as long as they don't release it on Play/try to sell it
