Right?! Some low hanging grapes right here ripe for the promotion track. Something something revenue and total addressable opportunity.

Checking to see if this is happening to anyone else. This is a clever tactic where spammers are exploiting the GMail mail delivery subsystem with a return path to a legit GMail address to have the subsystem deliver the original spam message as an attachment to the recipient.

The problem I am finding is that I put a lot of energy into well written comms and trying to enforce async, but the less tech savvy peers of mine cannot seem to make the efficiencies work. Too much time is spent finding that file or assigning tasks to "we" instead of calling out or asking individuals to do their actual jobs. A lot of "email passing" happens which eventually leads me to booking a Zoom meeting to sort things out. It is very frustrating to watch.

Late to the party here but if you scroll through the source of these messages, there are a few domains they use to host the "image" inside the message. Additionally some of the spammers try and use the "coord" HTML element to put links on their images.

If you create a filter to immediately delete the messages with "coord" in the source and these image domains you should be decently covered: iili.io, caringbridge.org, mailingghost.store

If anyone is interested in working towards root cause on this please let me know.

While I agree that humans are complex and should not be generalized by one or a few actions, Facebook as a whole has repeatedly demonstrated they are not good stewards of the data entrusted to them by users. The actions of their leaders is in complete conflict with the messaging they portray.

From the ad campaign run by Facebook in 2018: "...From now on, Facebook will do more to keep you safe and protect your privacy, so we can all get back to what made Facebook good in the first place: friends. Because when this place does what it was built for, then we all get a little closer."

To anyone looking closely at the actions of executives and living outside the SV echo chamber, this statement is laughable.

While the actions of the many inside the company have been noble, they too have been taken advantage of just as those who used the platform for so many years.

I am moving to the new Firefox and needed a way to add a custom "search" with a letter shortcut for a URL shortener I use. (Ex: I type "b[space]phrase" in the URL bar and it opens "http://bit.ly/phrase".)

I could not figure this out natively in the settings and this page seemed to do the trick.

I am not the author/creator.
