People need to stop saying "remove this device" will stop it accessing data in your #Microsoft account. (New emails, OneDrive files, etc).

All it does is stop showing the device in your account (assuming you are not using the device any more).

Yes, I tested it. I think a lot of writers forgot to do that.

If you're wondering why your running #Ubuntu computer asked you to sign in to your own wifi, it's because connectivity-check.ubuntu.com. is down right now (timing out).

Ignore it & you'll be fine.

Turns out, #Microsoft account does not reliably list connected devices. For over 6 months now.

There are many reports, and they are supposedly working on it. Doesn't seem helpful for security :-(

So it turns out that Ubuntu's Firefox Snap blocks Firefox from reading the system memory pressure, which it uses to work out when to reclaim memory by hibernating unused tabs.

Nobody thought to check why this kept getting blocked by AppArmor until someone pointed it out, and it still hasn't been fixed.

@aral / @gazaverified , are you going to reverify @DiaaMahmoud e.g. by whatsapp number , so they could fix their verification link?

Gets tricky if a lot of accounts use verification links that don't point to their current account. ( https://gaza-verified.org/people/@Diaa[email protected]/ )

@Anarcat @cks @b0rk 3rding: I wrote a StackExchange answer, which I look up and paste when I need it :-).

How do I list all sockets which are open to remote machines?

A vanilla ss -l lists (on my current machine) lots of open sockets, with various Netid types and many of which are only listening on localhost. How do I get a list of all and only those sockets th...

Then I think we've each said our piece.

I won't impose further on @glynmoody . Chat with me alone, if you want a reply.

If I thought there was a risk anyone was going to agree in this thread (or if your account looked like a disposable troll)? Then I would call the moderators, and leave it to them.

We are talking about images of real children. A feature that simultaneously converted photo posts to NCII, and sent it as a public reply.

The platform owner joked about its use, and only responded after threats of regulatory action.

What you've said is that you want to legalize people abusing children by generating NCII (CSAM) and sending it as a public reply.

I hope you reconsider your comment. Apart from anything else, for your own mental health.

You understand this is a conspiracy theorist alleging multiple murders, using QAnon / Satanic Panic language, presenting zero evidence in favour?

She also believes the Trump admin is ushering in "One world government".

Anti-fascism is necessarily a broad church, but that's not what these messages are doing IMO. The idea of internal struggle is not exactly excluded from fascism :-).

@petervalkema back -> right-click or long-press on link -> open in private window.

That's a fair juxtaposition, but I go where my people are.

If it's not your interest that's fine. My people are already tiring enough :) - that is, this isn't a fully general-audience news article; it's a specific feature writeup.
