  • I made a purchase on a sketchy site (during Covid when things were hard to find). A day or so later, some unauthorized transactions were made on my card. “Bank” called from actual number of my bank, to verify if I actually made the transactions. provided some of my personal information, transaction amount etc then asked to verify ssn. It was very convincing.

    Luckily I refused because I know anyone can call you claiming to be any number, and I didn’t give out any info, and said I would call back that number (my bank).

    Bank had no knowledge of a call.

    15 minutes later, get real fraud department call from my bank. They just wanted to know if it was fraud or not and didn’t ask for any other info.

    Moral of the story: if someone calls you, never give out personal info. Tell them you will call back if needed.









  • Yeah, this. Remark, the markdown library Voyager uses, is very powerful but also extremely complex (it has to be, to deal with Markdown edge cases).

    I made a bit of progress last week on a custom plugin but it’s a lot of work. There’s like 4 layers of parsing required.

    I wish Lemmy used GFM spoilers, which just uses normal details and summary html tags. But alas.

    It’s really annoying there’s no standard markdown syntax in common mark.
