Phishing?? 1/2
@mailbox.org mailbox.org users beware of a possible phishing email that From: a mailbox.org address, but which loads a google page then a weebly.com page. The page says it is from mailbox.org USA but the url is weebly. I'll send the text in a separate toot

@UncleDuke1969 I wonder if they need cooking skills or if being a Sioux Chef is sufficient 🤔

@talkie_tim Wow, I hope the owner of that bike wears gloves when he rides!

@highvoltage Ha! That must have been a sight indeed :)

@highvoltage I wonder how many people will think, as I did, that EFF is the Electronic Frontiers Foundation. It was when I asked Professor Webb who Malema was that I learned I was wrong

@catzilla I don't know micro.blog, but here is a site that offers Canadian alternatives to well known services created by @Taffer Maybe you will find something there. https://codeberg.org/Taffer/canadian-alternatives

I couldn't find an existing list of Canadian alternatives to American Internet services, so I've started one:

https://worktree.ca/taffer/canadian-alternatives

Please spread far and wide, and let me know if you have any updates for the page!

@idnorton What about a CAD programme?

Best Dog Ever
I've been largely absent from the Fediverse for months. I adopted a 1yo Border Collie in late March and have been learning to live with him since. He has a wonderful temperment and is sharp as a tack. You'd never know he was a rescue.

Shout out to Catherine, Canine Behaviour Specialist at https://www.lemedailledor.com/ here. She helped me work with Bijou and gave a written evaluation of him and step-by-step reminders of what we'd practiced. Bijou loved her. It was magic. #1 🤩

@Monal @olbohlen @olbohlen Nice! I'm not a Monal user myself, but I have Monal users on my XMPP server so I'm very happy that Monal devs have h/w to test with. Thanks!

Just learned, that is going to the moon!

This is a group of rovers which will collaboratively and autonomously drive around on the moon. They're using Debian for all the dev machines and the rovers themselves.

I hesitate to post this pic because I don't want to break the internet 🙂

He fell asleep in my lap like this last night. It was great for him but not so good for a middle-aged guy sitting directly on the floor, unable to move for about an hour because he's trapped under the cutest kitten in the world.

A black and white tuxedo kitten, with a black body and white-tipped paws, a white chest, and a white moustache, lying completely on his back in my lap, with his back paws sticking straight up, exposing his pink little toe beans, and his front paws wrapped around his face.
