It’s a preposterous claim with absolutely no evidence supporting it. Any idiot can see it doesn’t withstand a moment’s thought.
claim with absolutely no evidence supporting it
I work in tech
Multiple sources including a fucking Microsoft researcher
Bayesian filtering is a legacy strategy and Microsoft, for example, does not use it any more (because it’s inferior) except for legacy on-prem setups. Given you’ve attempted to be insulting, put words in my mouth and failed to provide supporting articles for your opinion I’m out. As I get enough of these sort of conversations at work and unless I start billing you… Lol’d at “Mr exchange server admin” though ngl.

Never claimed that, said that because that’s why I’m aware of it, not that it indicates any authority.
Did you honestly just google “scammer typos” so you could provide me with an expert source?
Not quite but pretty much yep. Given you claimed it was “nonsensical” I had hope me showing sources that weren’t just my saying so might make you reconsider your position. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it didn’t.
It’s a preposterous claim with absolutely no evidence supporting it. Any idiot can see it doesn’t withstand a moment’s thought.
You’re free to google “scammer typos” and check out the results yourself given there seems to be nothing I can do or link to convince that this is a silly hill to die on.
is that including typos in order to evade filters improves response rates because it improves deliverability and does not discourage a significant number of victims.
What filters are these? I’ll have to keep an eye out for the grammar section in the inbound spam/phishing policies next time I’m managing a client in the exchange section of their tenant. Bad luck for those who don’t spell well, can’t use spell check or are ESL, I guess. Mistyped URL or domain however sure are a thing.
Er go, the type of people who become victims are not likely to be discouraged by typos.
*Ergo. I guess you’ve made up your mind, based on god knows what. I’ll leave with a link from a university’s IT department from your google search terms, feel free to look at the rest of them any time you like.
It’s on purpose. If you can spot it, they don’t want you.
But what would the opinions based on another “Mr security guy”, aka a Microsoft researcher know.
- Comment on What is the point of the Nicole spam? 2 weeks ago:
I’m not arguing about this. Especially not with a baby account. This is an opinion informed by expert opinion on the matter, and I work in tech. If you think it’s “nonsensical” that’s on you.
However, the reason why phishing emails have so many typos is simple—they’re intentional and are included by design. The scammer’s goal is to send phishing emails to a very gullible, innocent victim. If they have typos, they’re essentially weeding out recipients too smart to fall for the scam.
- Comment on What is the point of the Nicole spam? 2 weeks ago:
Because you’re selecting with people who lack experience with scam/critical thinking to figure out they’re scams.

Cheers, I appreciate you taking the time to elaborate even if I don’t necessarily agree with it all 100%. Hope you enjoy the event and no dickheads turn up.

Thanks for the informative reply! I was worried how my questions came off. I didn’t realise pink washing spanned to detention centres as well. Almost laughable if it wasn’t depressing.
- Comment on Bring your friends! 2 weeks ago:
Not trans so my opinion on the matter isn’t worth much but why lines 2,3 and four? What does communities not cops even mean? Communities will handle the spiralling gang war fuelled by illicit tobacco trade? Why not just a trans day of visibility that focuses on trans people/rights instead of that plus policing, indigenous issues and so on? At least two can be about trans people who are incarcerated I guess. Probably ignorant of me but I don’t know.
- Comment on What is the point of the Nicole spam? 2 weeks ago:
That easier done with more involved scams like phone calls you see YouTubers do. Especially since they likely paid for that info. Places like here there no buy in so it’s a volume game i imagine. If I can’t get you to another platform to buy me stuff I’d move on to the next one quickly as possible.
- Comment on What is the point of the Nicole spam? 2 weeks ago:
The same reason a lot scam emails are riddled with typos, follow recognisable formats (eg nigerian prince) and can be easily determined as scams. If you can spot it you aren’t the mark. It’s a form of selection bias. If your recognise Nicole you probably aren’t new to Lemmy or the Fediverse and are a bad mark. I’d guess, I never followed the links, don’t generally follow links dm’d from random, days old accounts in general. Maybe Nicole truly is just thirsty for Lemmy friends and keeps getting banned lmao.

Finally got blessed with an inbox from Nicole today and found this post. Hope this lady at least sent these images to someone and it’s not just someone creeping on their cam.
- Comment on Realistically, how feasible is it to 100% boycott a massive corporation (such as Amazon) for an extended period of time? 2 weeks ago:
Right? Like didn’t even take the whole Orange galah to bring it about. You make your worker piss in bottles to meet KPIs then I have 0 interest in buying your shit.
- Comment on How do you change the mouse over highlight color in windows 11? Where the mouse pointer is (Apps) in the photo it is easy to see what is highlighted. On the computer screen it's impossible to see 4 weeks ago:
FYI in the future take a screenshot. There’s a couple ways to do it; either with the print screen button or ctrl+win+s.
- Comment on Why were all the mods removed from this community today, leaving it un-modded? 4 weeks ago:
Right, but as you had explained ages ago by this point it isn’t going to be “unmoderated”. So pack it in.
As much as they’ve been obnoxious recently, I don’t have a problem with conservatives having a space here so I don’t think they would/should be deleted unless more of this sort of content continues.

You insist on not being a nazi yet nazi content and mods that facilitated it being banned sure seems like the hill you’re hellbent on trying to die on.
- Comment on Too many young people find doing a day's work 'stressful', says Liz Kendall 1 month ago:
Exactly, I know the type because I’m related to similar. Looks down on such work, would never do such work but everyone else is lazy because they won’t do it. Classic.
- Comment on Too many young people find doing a day's work 'stressful', says Liz Kendall 1 month ago:
I don’t know the career of this particularly woman but a politician ragging on the work ethic of anyone is hilarious.
What statistic is she basing this on, any or just her feelings? Just go work at a grocery store? Maybe she should ask these “managers” who’s she’s basing this opinion on what their turn around on employees is, what their wages and guaranteed hours are. The opinion of managers on the work ethic of anyone means less than shit to me having met at least one manager in my life and having work retail/hospo before.
Pretty easy to advocate for “young” people to go work shitkicker jobs in retail and hospo when you sit at a desk in air con all day for a living. I know if I lost my current career I sure as fuck won’t go back.
- Comment on Reddit Sub Ban Wave 1 month ago:
Didn’t go back to reddit and am not trans but I just wanted say, otherwise your journey has been exactly the same as mine! From Kbin to lemm.ee and RIP apollo indeed. There’s a lot of trans friendly comms and instances in general. 196 may be a familiar name and the blahaj instance in general seems trans friendly. Depends on what type of comms you’re looking for. Check out voyager if you haven’t already, very reminiscent of Apollo. Welcome back.

The faces in the photo are blurred, I assume this was done by the ABC since they included the picture in their article.
- Comment on SA Police arrest man for allegedly displaying Nazi symbol as two neo-Nazis granted bail 1 month ago:
Probably shitty to say but I think if you’re willing to stand around in public as part of a nazi display you shouldn’t get your face blurred by the press.

If you can’t find one googling with those extension I would just go without as opposed to given either of those cesspools traffic. eldenring.wiki.gg/wiki/Staff_of_the_Avatar

Fandom is garbage and if you make the mistake of using in on mobile is borderline unusable because of ads.
Here’s an extension to find wikis and avoid fextra/fandom garbage. getindie.wiki

Hard disagree. If my father was a piece of shit like this I would definitely want to know. Keeping silent just allows the father skirt responsibility. It’s 100% OP choice though obviously.

Right, still might be an idea to restrict screen time. Also might be an idea to talk about boundaries. Can’t be expected to be at you best parenting if your being woken up all hours of the morning. Tell him Elon will steal his eyeballs.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
If your kid is young enough to ask to sleep in your room they probably shouldn’t have a phone. Or least set parental restrictions to stop usage at 2:30 in the morning imo.
- Comment on What is the best post sort for Lemmy? 1 month ago:
For that comm I could see users downvoting it for a lot of the post being negative/rants but yeah it does happen when it isn’t deserved unfortunately. I just don’t think banning should be a knee jerk response as other mods have done.
- Comment on What is the best post sort for Lemmy? 1 month ago:
I would be surprised if they haven’t automated it at this point. I’ve been meaning to post about it since it’s reeks of vote manipulation to me but I’ll give it some more time first.
- Comment on What is the best post sort for Lemmy? 1 month ago:
Their justification is you’re not a participant in the community, yet you’re voting. Of course theres 0 reflection on the content coming out of their subs and it has no weight the in decision.
For brigading I can understand but a couple of mods have a very low bar for it. One banned me recently because of it. Likely because two low effort post made it to all in a short window from a meat base comm. I’ve downvoted vegan post more often back in the early days and they dgaf.
- Comment on What is the best post sort for Lemmy? 1 month ago:
This is how I do it but be aware voting through this method leads to shitty mods banning you under the pretence of drive by voting. Doesn’t stop me but just FYI.
