C'est vraiment frustrant la manière dont #deezer a cassé sa fonctionnalité Flow : quand elle ne passe pas constamment les mêmes titres en boucle, elle reste coincé sur un genre. Ça fait trois fois que je clique sur "changer de style" et j'ai toujours de la synthwave 😒

You may know by now, but I have been applying to jobs for a couple of months, and when I receive a rejection (if I ever do), it is usually an automated email.

New phishing scam pretending to be from an official Mastodon account.
Mastodon does not send out verification requests like this. So don't click the link if you receive a message like this, just report it as spam.
