Man the spam has been insane lately on tumblr. Doubly so personally - we changed phone providers recently and now all the phone spammers on the new service need to be weeded out too.

So the macaron company I occasionally order from sent me an extra order of Kirby macarons.

I checked my bank statements AND my email.

No double charges.

They literally gave me free macarons.

I'm giving them to someone. 😂😂😂

my main email which has the most ridiculously attack-dog spam filter I have ever dealt with (to the point of just completely deleting real important emails) just passed through a blatant docusign phishing scam and marked the email as "a reliable source"

You may have posted about this before, but im very curious about you saying "email was a mistake" because it's such a cemented part of online communication. Is it the technology?

Email became infrastructural in a way that it was never intended to be and wasn't designed for.

There is too much momentum toward email being the primary means of business communication that unless there is a massive technology shift we're unlikely to see wide adoption of an alternative and email takes up so much space in the IT space that it's hard to say what the alternative would be.

Much of what used to be email now happens in company chat apps, which I think is an improvement in many ways, but you chat with your coworkers in a way that you're unlikely to chat with a client or send a quote to a prospect.

A huge amount of effort goes into making email better, and making email systems talk to each other, and making email secure because it is so ubiquitous that you can't realistically ask people not to use it.

But it's fucking terrible and we're asking too much of a set of protocols that was supposed to send small, not-very-private, communications between academics.

Why can't you send big files via email? Because that's not what email is for.

Why is it a pain in the ass to send encrypted emails? Because that's not what email is for.

Why aren't your emails portable, and easy to move from one service to another? Because that's not what email is for.

Why are emails so easy to spoof? Because they were never meant to be used the way we use them so there was no reason to safeguard against that fifty years ago

It's like how social security cards were never meant to be used as one of your major super serious government IDs where all of your activity through all of your life is tracked, because if they knew they needed a system for that they probably would have built a better one in the first place.

Nobody who sat down and developed email looked more than half a century into the future and went "so people are going to be using this system to create identities to access banking and medical records and grocery shopping and school records so we'd better make sure that it's robust enough to handle all of that" because instead they were thinking "Neat! I can send a digital message to someone on a different computer network than the one that I am literally in the same building as."

We think of email as, like, a piece of certified mail that is hand delivered in tamperproof packaging to only the intended recipient who signs for it with their thumbprint and a retina scan when it is, instead, basically a postcard.

It would be absurd to try to do the things people do with email with postcards, and it's *nearly* as absurd to try to do them via email.

I’ll deal with reporting these later (if someone else doesn’t do it so they get automatically deleted by the time I’m actually like out of bed, I’m awake against my will ngl), but the mini apostrophe between some of the letters in these scam emails are feeding my soul.

The scammers aren't even putting in the bare minimum any more. At least spoof a fucking website for us. Direct message you my name and number? Are you kidding me? Not even gonna make a form to send to a company email?

C'mon guys I know the market's rough for everyone out there but you have to at least try. There are Standards.

No, because the irony of it all is that the Leverage team would actively do everything they could to bring down Amazon. Like Breanna doesn’t order from there out of principle. But Amazon is a multi billion dollar company, you can’t just bring it down like that. But they are doing petty little things just for the fun of it. Hardison would do whatever he could to screw with calendars for board members so they never have the right information. Brianna spoofs emails, gets food and necessities delivered to people for free, hefty gift cards included. They can’t take it down. They can’t fix it all. But they would be so incredibly petty about it.
