Periodic reminder: EVERYONE. Even very smart people. Even people who work in security. Even people who work with account phishing. Even you. EVERYONE can fall for a scam.

The more strongly you believe you could never fall for a scam, the worse you're going to get fucked when one slips past your defenses. Scammers LOVE people who think they're too smart to be caught.

Never shame someone for getting caught by one - be understanding and helpful and supportive. Because you're going to be in that seat someday.

You hear folks say chemotherapy sucks, but until you go through it yourself, you don’t really know how bad it can be. It remains a popular activity only because it’s better than the alternative. My first exposure to chemotherapy was with this […]

RE: mastodon.social/@marcedwards/1

I’m so used to this not working on whatever menu bar icon annoys me the most, I didn’t even think to try it. But it works on this one! (And maybe it works on all menu bar icons now. And if not, there’s always the kill switch in System Settings > Menu Bar.)

@Leonick Whoops, sorry. I gave you the wrong URL! Try this:

(Again, replacing {id} as described earlier.)

@Leonick As a matter of fact, you can, thanks to a little feed filtering service I made. Try this:

atp.fm/rss/{id}/feed/atp-membe

…replacing {id} with your specific member feed id (i.e, the 12 or so random letters and numbers at the end of your existing members-only RSS feed URLs).
