Not a hacker or coder, I'm more of a hardware tech support pleb. I try to stay up to date though.
@mcc no worries. Thought I'd ask just in case you'd noticed something else that I didn't!
Also, interestingly, blocking a user removes their notifications from the notifications stream, but does NOT remove the notification bubble from servers or channels until you click on the channel. So now I've got a server where, until the admins notice and delete the spamflood messages, I have multiple phantom notifications in every single channel that will disappear immediately if I ever click on the channel, which will never happen.

@mcc ohshit THAT is probably what's causing the weird "phantom" notifications I've gotten on Discord for a while now. I never made the connection.

As someone who runs a small Discord server for fandom purposes, do you know if there are any particular settings I might change to mitigate this? We don't often have problems with trolls or users with irreconcilable differences, but the former are quickly ousted and the latter has happened on occasion, would like it to be a more comfortable place for them to remain by just blocking each other.

@internetarchive please be sure to link to the https version of sites, please. This one isn't (as of the time of posting this comment). Easily fixed with the edit function, though!

Thanks for all you do. 🧡​

LastPass' CEO Karim Toubba, who was appointed in April, says the unauthorized party used information stolen from LastPass systems in August to access the cloud storage containing customer information.

Seems plausible that maybe stolen internal creds or keys weren't invalidated after the August breach, which allowed a second compromise?

The truth about IT security 😅🤣

@malwaretech Yep. Nothing notifies them that you've logged off--lost count of the number of times I've felt terrible when I realized someone I followed and cared about (if only from afar) had passed away, and I had no clue for months.

Makes me miss the AIM and YIM *doorslam* sounds. Even if you tuned them out a bit after a while, at least you knew in the periphery of your consciousness that people were coming and going. When you saw someone's name greyed out for a long time, you started to worry.

Twitter makes absolutely sure you never know and never think to ask.

@Marcociappelli oh yes, I did read it, but I was making sure I was understanding it clearly! It's fucked up on all levels. =(

@Marcociappelli So if I'm reading this correctly, it's literally illegal to not allow these companies to collect your full legal name, home address, e-mail, income, refunds, dependents and any charitable contributions you may have made and to whom, any business expenses you claimed or qualifying medical costs that you incurred. Especially if you don't have the knowledge to file it yourself or money to pay someone to do it in person (or an offline tax application, not that there are many of those nowadays). If you need free tax services, you have to use one of these dumpster fires because the IRS says so. Maybe I'm misunderstanding...

Even if not, I'm sure there are ways around it but damn, that's bleak af.
