If I’m using Bluetooth earbuds I can receive a call from Signal or WhatsApp. So it stands to reason it’s possible a Bluetooth device exists to act like earbuds but for a landline phone. I found a few (cell2jack and XLink BT HD) but could not verify if they’d work for anything other than normal phone calls.

He got scammed again? Damn. Sorry, I was referring this one. And not really the details of the scam, but it was the wrong place / wrong time element that reminded me.

Edit: the article you linked is older, so I guess not “again”.

Yup, what you’re describing sounds inline with how Corey Doctorow fell victim to fraud.

I’m fairly certain I annoy the people at my bank because I always insist on calling them back at their official number if they ask for any personal information. I don’t fuck around with my bank security. I did however get got a couple of more years ago back when the chrome browser window phishing attack first started and had my Steam account stolen for a solid minute.

That’s the attack where they simulate a browser window so what you think is a oauth popup is actually just inpage javascript and CSS.

The fundraising was for the development of Pixelfed’s source code. e.g. adding new features, bug fixing, etc. - not for currently hosted servers and their infrastructure. So it went to @dansup.
