Today we have a doozy. A bunch of callous scam artists selling a product that costs cents to make for $30, claiming properties that do not exist and can put people at a very real and high risk of injury or death -- https://mikka.is/2021/01/08/uvlen-just-a-scam-or-callous-indifference-to-human-life/
"Oh, wir schicken ihnen einen Brief. Loggen sie sich bitte ein und bestätigen sie die PIN, die wir an ihren nicht aktivierten Mobilfunk-Anschluss geschickt haben um ihre Adresse zu bestätigen."
Jetzt sind wir bei einer Woche Spaß mit @Telekom_hilft@twitter.com. "Oh, ihr Mobilanschluss geht nicht? Leider können wir ihnen keinen Berater verbinden, wir rufen sie an." "Oh, sie wollen die Rufnummer XYZ aktivieren? Gerne, tippen Sie bitte die PIN, die wir an XYZ geschickt haben ein."

Y’know, I love you @woltapp@twitter.com, but if you give me a promo code, don’t tell me 5 mins later it's all used up. That's like denying a fat kid his cheesecake. Which is precisely what happened. Still ordering it, because as I said, I <3 you.
This is what happens when you order from @foodycomcy@twitter.com. Now I am still hungry, my money's gone for a few days (doubt they'll process it over the weekend), and I didn't go shopping because I wanted to order in, which is now impossible, too.
... then stop running your site. Seriously. Even under Yahoo! there were better responses. How much can you really care about a site if you let it become a haven for pedophiles and porn (which I don't mind, just not on Flickr without age gating)?
Here are accounts actively collecting pictures of naked children in various states of embrace, faving and sharing between each other, and my only recourse is to "block this person if they make you uncomfortable."
If, in 2020, you can't be arsed to have a dedicated abuse team...
This is followed by a selector of some platitudes, no free form entry, clearly a "don't fucking bother us with your shit" kind of attitude. It's 2020, things aren't as simple as "this is making me uncomfortable."
[🧵] CW: pedophilia. @Flickr@twitter.com is getting worse and worse. Recently, I've found multiple accounts on the site that are clearly pedophilia related. To even *find* the "Report Abuse" link you'd have to search quite a bit (this should be prominent).
I kind of like the colors of the @nordtheme@twitter.com, so this is a simple theme called “Nordish” for Pythonista, loosely aligned with Nord. Pythonista won’t let me style everything, but it’s enough for me.
I made a thing with @olemoritz@twitter.com' Pythonista, because not only geniuses steal example code and call it cool. It's pretty cool, though, so there...
PI: Hey, wanna be fifth author? We do have some smaller details that need to be cleaned up. Sounds like a job for you?

Das Security Theater bei @apple@twitter.com München (als Beispiel, die sind nicht die Einzigen) bringt nichts und gefährdet Menschenleben.

This is, why you never purchase from websites that do not do their own billing. @GlassWire@twitter.com didn’t honor my cancellation and now I have to fight with Cleverbridge and everyone else to cancel a service I can not even use.
You know you need to take a break from medicine 24/7 when your pregnant neighbour asks you if you want to feel the baby kick and you do a Leopold. Also got much ‘splainin to do.

This’ll be important in a bit...
I made a thing for @BlinkShell@twitter.com again. Maybe you'll like it.

Simple Howto migrate @NightscoutProj@twitter.com from mLab to mongoDB before the shutdown in November: https://106m.io/howto-migrate-heroku-nightscout-to-atlas/ - it's really not that scary. #wearenotwaiting to migrate :)
Ja, ich falle ohne meinen Davidsstern auch nicht auf. Den trage ich aber selten, weil ich dann immer dumm angemacht werde, weil ich tätowiert und gepierced bin, und einige Mitglieder meiner Religion das für schlimmer halten als Bacon Cheeseburger am Shabbes zu essen.
