There’s one good news. Reddit didn’t want to pay to move all the old DMs to the new chat infrastructure. So they deleted them.

At this point I wouldn’t trust Reddit to actually delete posts. Just hide them then sell them as training data if the upvotes are decent.

Tom’s Guide has shit reporting. This was the same site that repeated the bogus DDoS smart toothbrushes story. And they’re at it again with more sensationalism.

From something more reputable:

The use of the victims’ faces for bank fraud is an assumption by Group-IB, also corroborated by the Thai police, based on the fact that many financial institutes added biometric checks last year for transactions above a certain amount.

It is essential to clarify that while GoldPickaxe can steal images from iOS and Android phones showing the victim’s face and trick the users into disclosing their face on video through social engineering, the malware does not hijack Face ID data or exploit any vulnerability on the two mobile OSes.

More from bleeping computer:

A new iOS and Android trojan named ‘GoldPickaxe’ employs a social engineering scheme to trick victims into scanning their faces and ID documents, which are believed to be used to generate deepfakes for unauthorized banking access.

Now, don’t get me wrong, you should take malware and social engineering attacks seriously. But get your information from sites that do real security journalism.

It’s an aggregation of previous leaks. Malicious actors having all that information together is a big deal in and of itself, but it’s not the"mother of all breaches" some publications are trying to make it be.

Found the article where the screenshot came from, and wow it’s even more infuriating! The VideoLAN folks tried to work with them for months, and Unity seems to have cranial rectal inversion.

You know what’s free (as in beer and speech) and not being enshittified? Notepad++

Oh, he was a former CEO of EA. That explains a few things.

Here’s a crazy idea. How about a bunch of us donate to the ADL and have tribute cards sent to chief twit’s headquarters.

Microsoft really needs an antitrust smackdown with their repeated behavior.

NYT is already considering a lawsuit against OpenAI. So, not just dumb but arrogantly stupid when the lawyers are already in the room.

I’m perfectly fine with shitting on Meta/Facebook/Instagram for gestures broadly at the last 10+ years, but Canada instituted a link tax for news. They added a fee to a fundamental part of the Internet: linking to something. I can’t blame Meta for refusing to play that game.

Twitter is still underwater from losing half their advertiser revenue plus the billions in debt they still owe. He’s not going to pay out unless he can find one particular case that will bring lots of attention. Elmo is an attention whore that everyone needs to ignore.

Everyone’s giving tribute with :wq!, but don’t forget about :x! and ZZ.

Not EEE. This looks like a form of enshittification. It sounds like Mojang is trying to capture all value for themselves by claiming absolute control over everything.

The hjkl keys came from Bill Joy when he wrote vi. The terminal he was using had arrows printed on those keys because it didn’t have dedicated arrow keys. It was a natural progression to reuse those keys for navigation.

vim was a huge improvement over vi. To where it became the defacto replacement. Some distros even shipped vim as a replacement for vi. That was because the Linux Standard Base required vi to be present.

Still a huge influence. vi was a bit painful to use when coming from vim. Would hjkl have died out if it wasn’t for vim? IDK. I think it would have been relegated to a niche corner of the unix/linux world.
