Just a head's up, it looks like LearnWorlds may have been hacked, and their mail server is currently being used to phish YouTube accounts (LearnWorlds is a major white-label online course platform, so you may not realize you're a user of their platform).

This morning I received an email from LearnWorld's official mail server, claiming something I posted on my YouTube channel violated the company's copyright, and that I need to respond immediately.

The email felt off. It cited no specific copyright violations, didn't reference my channel by name or link to any videos, was sent on a Saturday morning, and YouTube has a built-in copyright system to handle exactly this.

On the second pass I realized the link it asks recipients to visit to handle the "copyright claim" is a YouTube redirect link. It uses the official YouTube url, but has an embedded redirect which takes you to a third-party website.

The site is designed to look like an official YouTube webpage that enables users to review copyright claims against their channel. It contains both the YouTube and Google branding, as well as a very similar theme to the official YouTube one.

The site asks users to look up their channel name to check for copyright claims, presents them with a fake copyright violation, then asks them to "verify" their channel.

The channel verification button takes the user to what looks like a official Google OAuth sign in page, which if they log into, will give the hackers control over the Google account they sign in with, enabling them to steal both the Google account and associated YouTube channel.

So... someone leaked a Russian propagandist's data on Twitter (Dougan leaks), and Twitter removed it within 24h... but women have to sue until they reach the Supreme Court to have nudes removed?

What?

Not FreeDOS, but I thought it was 😎 cool that someone is working on a Gopher that's derived from the original University of Minnesota Gopher. 👍

It’s not a Microsoft outage.
It’s a surprise Digital Sovereignty test.

BREAKING: Norway Supreme Court rules North Sea oil & gas approvals invalid in historic climate case.

“This historic ruling changes Norwegian oil policy forever, and sets a precedent the world cannot ignore. Norway can no longer ignore the global damage caused when its oil & gas are burned abroad. This is a momentous victory for global climate justice.”

Good news for the #RC2014 owners out there. Microsoft BASIC hasn't been affected by the global Microsoft outage, and still works perfectly.

@aeva They can’t:

1. Copilot uses the same connection infra that has died, and Microsoft has been directing staff to use their internal Copilot…. Sooooo that’s a ripperoni in pepperoni for them
2. The SSO connectors for OpenAI and Anthropic are down, so they can’t even auth those agents for use in the cloud environment.

Basically, the AI has abandoned them exactly when they needed it most. This is slapstick comedy of an epic scale.

Moments before Outlook went down, your boss sent you an urgent email you haven't been able to read. It said: "Take Friday off. Visit The Museum of English Rural Life. Also, here's £20 to spend on pastries and souvenirs."

@davidallengreen Every systems administrator: This shows why we need sovereign digital infrastructure so we're not dependent on a single foreign entity.
Every politician: This shows why we should be giving more money to Microsoft so we get better service provision.

hi i'm fbz and i designed these mandelbrot fractal sweaters

https://knityak.com/collections/antenna-crown?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social

they are pixel native where one pixel exactly equals one knit stitch. i'm pedantic and a math nerd and i'm exacting about my code created knits. these come with source code in python for this exact spot on the mandelbrot set with this specific dithering.

NEW: Over the past year, ProPublica has photographed some of the more than 500 U.S. citizens who have been held against their will by immigration agents and learned of the lingering impact the experience has had on their lives.

These are their stories.

A polite "good morning" from the #Squirrel of the Day for November 12, 2026 #squirrels

hearing that jensen huang has tripled the amount of partners he has in just under two weeks.

if these trends continue, i think we need to have a serious conversation about the possibility of jensen huang dating every women on earth.

even in moderate scenarios he may send up with 82% of all leather jackets

This is yet another disgusting & unwarranted #attack on #disabled people, aimed this time at disabled #young people, aged 18-24, & barring them from the #health element of #universal #credit & #personal #independence #payment - #PIP. The proposed replacement for PIP would cover fewer young people. That this comes from a "#Labour" #Government is an utter disgrace, but we've come to expect it, @ChrisMayLA6.

Hey, come work with me? Do large scale storage (60+PB) for science (LHC)!

One linux sysadmin and one java developer position:

Slightly complicated in that we'll need to get you employed by collaborating institute in the nordics ("nordics" can probably be stretched a little bit though), but we have several that are interested in the other half of your time for these profiles, and we know how to do this.

Deadline end of november!

DM for questions.
