Or a Knighthood.

If it’s all authorised like this, it is technically a legit transaction. Revolut should have flagged it up for review though as per the article. I think card transactions are a bit different, as usually they don’t need to be authorised in the app, but this sounds like he spoke to a scammer, transferred them some money, handed out a 2FA code (something which banks always say “don’t give this to anyone, not even us”), and then was surprised when lots of money was transferred out of his account. I’m not sure Revolut are at fault here (other than not putting a hold on the transactions when they started to look out of character, but honestly the account was compromised by then anyway)

“Oh, perhaps we could assign it to the actual Indian Ocean, as that’s quite a persuasive 💰 argument 💰.”

“… Or perhaps NASA would like to administer it on behalf of the aliens on Io until we make contact…”

Sounds like they just won’t be renewed when they expire.

Yeah, Tories were never centre, but they were closer to that than in recent years where they’ve been steadily cruising over to the far right.

The Lib Dems described themselves as centre (or filling that space), but I can’t find the article right now. I’d also say more centre-left.

The Lib Dems are looking to move into the centrist space vacated by the Tories. They are relishing the Tories moving so far right they aren’t in the picture anymore.

And it’ll be smaller.

How was this pulled off? Here are the theories From CNN’s Christian Edwards

Experts have shared two competing theories as to how hundreds of pagers could have exploded simultaneously.

One theory is that there was a cybersecurity breach, causing the pagers’ lithium batteries to overheat and detonate.

Another is that this was a “supply chain attack,” where the pagers were tampered with during the manufacturing and shipping process.

David Kennedy, a former US National Security Agency intelligence analyst, told CNN that the explosions seen in videos shared online appear to be “too large for this to be a remote and direct hack that would overload the pager and cause a lithium battery explosion.”

Kennedy said he found the second theory to be more plausible.

“It’s more likely that Israel had human operatives… in Hezbollah… The pagers would have been implanted with explosives and likely only to detonate when a certain message was received,” he said.

“The complexity needed to pull this off is incredible. It would have required many different intelligence components and execution. Human intelligence (HUMINT) would be the main method used to pull this off, along with intercepting the supply chain in order to make modifications to the pagers,” he added.

Only about four years after everybody else!

Yeah, we need electoral reform first 🙁

I don’t think automatic crossposting is a good idea. However some way to “boost” Mastodon posts onto Lemmy would be good. Mbin has a way of boosting but can’t assign a magazine. Something like that may work though. Mastodon can already boost Lemmy posts.

Are they not 25p?

There are a lot of people I follow who moved to Mastodon, that now appear to have moved to Bluesky (I’m seeing posts on there from people I know used to post on Mastodon).

I’m not sure why. If I move over it’ll be because everybody else is there. At the moment I’m not using it much.

Has she missed all the rioting in England by far-right activists?

How is that better than a banner being slowly revealed?

Aha, that would do it! Thanks, will post again if it hasn’t worked.

All sorted, thanks for the info!

Ah…

I’ve just posted something from here, let’s see if this one federates…

The last one I originally posted from this account. I deleted my two attempts though.

Yeah, it looks broken again, nothing much coming through on that community for a few days. Could be post length still.
