is () syntactically important or could you use _=> to save a char?

I Fell for a Scam

unsignednoop — Sat, 06 May 2023 07:54:30 +0000

So here's what happened

I received a text at 4 am telling me that my account balance hadn't been paid (been drinking)

I clicked the link and it was a site of the payroad I regularly drive on

I have also noticed that my paytag hadn't been beeping so it all seemed legit

If you don't pay in 3 days the fine will be $500

I entered my card details and nothing happened. I tried on my phone and nothing happened. Check console and theres 404 errors in the req

Woke up the next day and tried again, noticed that the home button doesn't work, the social media buttons don't work. The site says it's a 200 fine if you don't pay. Holy shit this is a scam website

I look at the console logs and it turns out that scammers sent their xhr requests to //api/card_confirm.php (Double slashes)

Holy shit lads, I am on cloud 9 right now, I almost got scammed but due to a simple typo my data is safe. (They fixed the site shortly after when I sent a test card no). This is the luckiest day of my life lmao

Remember when Opera had link search? Such a shame those features are dead nowadays

If rsync devs cared about brevity then we might of had a decent syncing client

If I wanted to read tweets I would be on Twitter. You guys don’t need to repost everything you see online to HN.

Somebody should make a privacy respecting captcha similar to recaptcha but uses stable diffusion for the prompts.

Amazing idea, great work man. Just one suggestion; the filters should probably be at the bottom within reach of your hands.

where’s my damn youtube competitor Netflix? You’re capable and desperate for workable ideas, just commit already. You can even cut back on film production expenditure and send recording equipment to interesting content creators.

>Removed Domains

>The Government of Anguilla reserves the right to remove domains that are in its opinion hate speech or breaking any Anguilla law. There has been 1 such domain removed in the history of ".ai".

Curious if anybody knows which domain was removed, the FAQ doesn't elaborate.

[NSFW]

Not only do they lack results but they also unabashedly censor information. Try a search for “ how big should a cocaine line be?” on google vs bing. Its night and day which search engine actually tries to find results.

Any proof about being far-right? Looks like the claim was only added to wiki today.
