#276292 — "lists.debian.org - where can you help?" (Video)

Hi,

Perhaps not quite on topic but over the holiday period I watched this
presentation about lists.debian.org and found it very interesting.

    https://berlin2024.mini.debconf.org/talks/12-listsdebianorg-where-can-you-help/

    Or if you prefer YouTube:

Thanks,
Andy

I wanted to respond with something like
<https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+a+mailing+list+help+vampire>.
But the Google AI generated response is comical:

<SNIP>
Symbolic representation:
It's not a literal list, but rather a metaphorical concept used in
fiction to depict a vampire's ability to track down potential victims
or contacts across a wide area.

Method of gathering information:
A vampire might collect information like names, addresses, and even
blood types through various means like eavesdropping, surveillance, or
even manipulation of individuals.
</SNIP>

Beware of the Help Vampires collecting blood types on the mailing
list. If you receive such a phishing email asking for your blood type,
you should delete it immediately!

Jeff

The link in the bot in #debian is <http://www.slash7.com/pages/vampires>.
There may of course be others.
