Zendesk has issued an official announcement about this.

I'm not satisfied with it, tbh.

It's not for fun. They are hijacking a trusted server (Zendesk) to smuggle phishing links past my spam filter. Since Zendesk blocked the text relay, their bot is now just spamming signups as a side effect of the failed exploit.

Ask HN: My colleague had a tantrum over a simple question, what would you do?
Today, I asked a basic technical question and my colleague suddenly snapped—raised voice, defensive tone. It wasn’t about the topic; it felt personal.We later had a one-on-one. He shared that he’s dealing with mental health struggles. I expressed my concern about communication, and he agreed to be more mindful.Still, I’m curious — how do you handle emotional outbursts in teams with otherwise...

Why not? Can you explain it more?
Ask HN: Have you added a Pride flag in your logo?
As a small startup, I’m considering adding a Pride flag to our logo for inclusivity.Would this be seen as a genuine gesture or as performative marketing? Could it have an impact—positive or negative—on how people perceive the company?

Apple Intelligence Accessing My Photo Library Without Consent?
I recently tried out the Apple Intelligence AI image generator app (Image Playground), and to my surprise, it presented me with a list of people from my photo library to create new images based on them. The issue is: I never gave explicit consent for the app to access my photo library.This raises major privacy concerns. How did the app gain access to all my images and identify people in them...

Re:Ask HN: How many of you feel lonely in a crowd?
on Monday November 13, 2023 @01:35PM (#38253478)
I've made a routine of visiting my favorite café for almost a year now. There have been a few days when I've felt a sense of loneliness, keeping to myself and observing the people around me. While I'm not actively seeking just any friend, as a straigth guy I do fantasize about finding a meaningful connection and overcoming the solitude that occasionally creeps in.
One particular day, a child mischievously spat on some desks and swiftly made a run for it. The following day, I noticed a software engineer who frequented the café almost daily, much like myself. Curiosity led me to strike up a conversation with him, inquiring if he had witnessed the child's prank. This led to discussions about our respective jobs, eventually blossoming into a friendship. Unfortunately, he later moved to another city, and was a good guy.
My advice is to keenly observe people around you, engage in conversations, but exercise caution in placing trust. For instance, there's a person who consistently greets me at the café but never purchases a drink to himself. On one occasion, he asked about my well-being, but I hesitated to delve into a deeper conversation, suspecting he may be taking advantage of free resources such as electricity and wifi. I believe this behavior is ethically questionable.
In conclusion, it's crucial to seek out genuine connections similar to oneself. While the transient nature of friendships can bring moments of loneliness, the pursuit of meaningful connections is a journey worth undertaking.

I read an article that stated screen time may cause nearsightedness. See the paper[https://www.nature.com/articles/519276a]

Ask HN: Nearsighted from Computer Work. Others?
I have approximately 10 hours of screen time per day. Typically, experts recommend following the 20/20/20 rule (try to look at something about 20 feet or approximately 6 meters away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes), but I never adhered to it. As a programmer, I suppose I’ll always have high screen time. I’m planning to have LASIK surgery in a few months. Has anyone else experienced this? Did...
