In today's environment I have stopped worrying about subtle hacks to either Macos or Linux. My hard and fast rule is to (almost) never respond to either emails or texts. With a very tight circle of friends, I will reply to texts but only after examining their actual address. And that only for casual talk-talk. Of course, if one of them were to text, "Install this neat app and tell me how you like it," then the pre-reply examination would get a whole lot deeper. And probably followed by a phone call to tell them their gear had been hacked.
But, examination of incoming garbage is sometimes interesting in itself. Of course, AI allows the advoidance of bad English and mispellings so that key is long gone. But, I have noticed in many well constructed spam instances, both email and text, that there will be at the very bottom of the page a long paragraph of nonsense. Ramblings about zebras are faster than giraffes, walking in the mountains will not find blueberries, if the sea is green, then France is in Australia, etc.
My wonder is, why destroy all legitimacy of the spam after spending time and effort to make it accepted by including something not only worthless, but a hard indication of the missive being malignant?
Just my musing while taking a rest from trying to figure out why my Ruby code is self destructing.
