Using an url shortener smells like phishing

[–] towerful@programming.dev 127 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeh, I can't believe an emergency service (which I would consider a government agency) is using a URL shortener.
No wonder scammers also use URL shorteners. People get desensitized to what they are doing, masking the actual URL

I would think they could have a legit .gov url shortener. They're not much code and easy enough to run at scale.

I'd vote for u.gov.

how much security clearance would I need for a u.gov rickroll

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

None if you have enough bourbon to bribe a military officer. Hint: The amount decreases the higher rank they are.
