  • first of all i dont use instagram so i cannot guarantee what i have said. however i do have a fair bit of roblox experience and account stealing kinda happens all the time there.

    the website sent out could steal session details. most sites have a “remember me” feature so that you dont have to login every time you visit it. the server does this by giving your computer a unique identifier after you log in, so now that identifier can be used instead of a username and password. the website could steal that identifier and thus impersonate you, without getting your username and password.

    after doing this basically anything could happen, but most likely the account will be controlled by a bot to spread the ad further, eventually amassing some sort of botnet.

    in theory stopping the bot from accessing your account could be as simple as logging out of all devices the moment you fall for it, but im not too sure what would happen if you do it any later than that.

    i dont think a proxy actually exists. to pretend to be someone else you either make an account that has similar characteristics as the target or just steal the target’s account directly. is it literally every one of the followers that are targeted, 100%, or is it just most of them? it could be some sort of website like what i said spreading through the network of followers.










  • i use trime on android and the default takes quite a while to get used to. for example, the symbol key that is usually on the bottom left corner is now a language switching key and the symbol key is one tiny key beside it. custom configuration seems like a pain and i haven’t done it. one of the defaults however comes with a menu that lets you type all sorts of symbols including greek, russian, japanese, IPA and mathematical operators. haven’t sen fcitx5 for android though

    edit: currently using fcitx5 android and i can say just go with this. everything comes right out of the box (no screwing around with config files) and has all the features trime has and more (i can even type unicode! ☻). only feature i would miss is that trime types both round brackets at once and places your cursor in the middle whereas fcitx5 android needs you to type them individually.





  • alright now we’re gonna have quite a big discussion as to what “x server” means. x11? twitter?

    “guys x servers are down!”
    “have you checked your .xinitrc? did you start x?”
    “whats an x innit racecar? the x servers are down!”
    “how do you use x without knowing what an .xinitrc is… oh”

    meanwhile reddit gonna rename themselves to “wayland”
