Storm Dragon pushed changes to the master branch of the linux-game-manager project Fixed a bug with the way music renamer was being loaded with Project Brutality and Operation MDK.
Regarding the "unspecified Linux vulnerability" that the author has been "hyping the shit out of" (their words) all week -
It's accidentally leaked, due to an unpaid open source maintainer making a boo boo.
It's in CUPS, a printing subsystem. It isn't Linux specific.
CUPS isn't faced much to the internet, I've checked and done a Shodan Safari. It also isn't installed by default on Linux server installs for almost all distros.
It's not a big deal, update packages are dropping, don't panic.
Introducing the seamless Java/Swift interop effort!
Offering both: - generated Swift macro based JNI wrappers - Project Panama based Swift accessors generated with a jextract-swift tool for high performance use-cases
Early prototype is open source and we’ll share more about our plans and invite folks to collaborate early next week!

Who woulda thunk? Cleaning the air in a school (even before the pandemic) resulted in better test scores and performance. Clean and ventilated air isn't magic; it's just sensible.
Hey, @Tusky , any plans on getting this interesting feature in #Tusky? It'd great to integrate local feeds from other servers, in order to add interesting extra content to our Mastodon experience!
@thunderbird I just noticed that the thunderbird Appointments logo looks extremely similar to the NOAA logo (US Gov National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration).
Is this gonna be an issue legally? Not sure how the bird silhouette sits as part of their logo.
Actually this version of the article is cached in my RSS reader, the article online has the regular thunderbird mail logo, so I guess they've already changed it.
“According to Mozilla, PPA involves websites asking Firefox to remember ads they show and to potentially generate an interest report. Firefox creates the data but then submits it to an aggregation service, where the report is combined with similar ones.”
Thunderbird for Android is coming soon! Find out how to get involved, from beta testing to localization to support and more, in our shiny new contributor guide!
@VincentTunru Alright, thanks. That makes sense. For some reason the linked article, and the "getting started with SUMO" one do not mention/clarify that.
@zeromind @VincentTunru Thanks for catching this! It has been a busy week, between Thunderbird for Android and an impending hurricane! I'll go ahead and edit that. :)
I'm trying to find the beta on F-Droid, and I have enabled "Unstable updates" but I can't find it. Is it called "Thunderbird for Android", or still K9?
@enlogg If you want to do some reading before the beta, we have blog posts all about how we've been developing and improving K-9 Mail to get it ready for its upcoming transformation! blog.thunderbird.net/category/…
Hi, that's amazing news, I'm a big fan of Thunderbird for desktop. But have you considered the siphon this will cause to other small open source mailing apps, that will lose users, feedback, donations ? Has this been anticipated ?
@Kalytis That's an understandable concern - and if you read our very first blog about this, you can see we partnered with K-9 Mail to avoid some of this: blog.thunderbird.net/2022/06/r…
Well, that is great for K-mail, and it makes sense that you partner with them, but I was talking about the impact on the other mail apps, like Fairemail (which I'm using) and others. I don't see this addressed here.
@sollace You do not need to wait. K9 mail (which was taken over by Mozilla to become thunderbird for Android, hopefully I described it correctly) got many improvements and is a great mail client.
@jonasgraphie @sollace Yup! K-9 Mail has been the existing Thunderbird for Android beta (just with a robot dog instead of a bird) for the past few years! (And yes, we/MZLA did acquire it to make it into Thunderbird for Android, so good summary!)
@52fighters Not as of yet, though we know it's a popular request. Another way to show support for it and have other people upvote the idea is to submit it to Mozilla Connect (connect.mozilla.org)
@Barral In planning stages. Let's get Thunderbird for Android off the ground, and once those plans start turning into action, including hiring, we'll keep people updated.
@cboehmit Initially, they'll exist side by side. Because of how the Play store works, you'll need to download TB for Android separately. We'll have instructions to transfer your information from K-9 Mail.
@ratcatcher @thrilway While we'd love if K-9 Mail could regenerate automagically into Thunderbird, the Google Play Store doesn't like that. You'll need to download Thunderbird for Android separately, and we'll have instructions on how to transfer your information between the two apps. (For the immediate future, a separate K-9 Mail branded app will still exist.)
Hackers showed me (there's video) how a website vulnerability let them locate, unlock, honk the horn, start ignition of any of millions Kias in seconds, just by reading a car's license plate.
They found similar bugs for a dozen carmakers over the last two years.
So this "CVSS 9.9" "unauthenticated RCE vs all GNU/Linux systems (plus others)" thing...
- Does NOT affect all GNU/Linux systems. - Is not CVSS 9.9. I put it at a 6.3
It also requires: 1) The victim system has no active firewall to block incoming connections. 2) A user on the victim system must print something to a printer that mysteriously appears on the system that has never been there before.
If these two things happen, then command execution can happen as the "lp" user.
<yawn>
We get it. You found a vulnerability. Lying about it to try to stir up interest in it is not appreciated by anybody who takes themselves seriously in this industry.
CVE-2024-47176, CVE-2024-47076, CVE-2024-47175, and CVE-2024-47177 have been assigned.
People on StackOverflow telling people to screw up #accessibility with the HTML dialog element defeats the purpose of using that element in the first place IMO.

Reminder that the original Metatext third party app is no longer being maintained, as its lead developer had to step back due to health issues.
However, there is a new version of Metatext run by different people called Feditext which is currently in public beta testing. You can follow the official Feditext account at:

Kamarádi, jste úžasní. Strašně moc jste nakopli předprodej Syndikátu, knihy, u které vám nemůžeme říct, o čem je. Ale je skvělá. Je o budoucnosti. Blízké. A trochu detektivka. Trochu akční thriller. A trochu o lásce. Jinak by to nešlo. Knihy z předprodeje jsou, samozřejmě, se slevou a podpisem. Když budete knihu číst mezi prvními, bude to rozhodně nejlepší. knihydobrovsky.cz/kniha/syndik…

Philosophy and mental health are deeply interconnected. The practical wisdom derived from philosophical reflection offers valuable insights and tools for navigating life's challenges. By integrating philosophical concepts into counseling, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences, fostering greater mental well-being.

it would be very nice for the world and industry if what the C++ committee said here was true and if they actually cared about memory safety. but with a committee that writes nonsense like this, actively denying the problem, i don't see this happening.
> "Memory safety is a very small part of security." -- C++ Committee submission to DOE laying out the language's memory safety strategy.
let's hope that Sean Baxter's proposals actually make it and are able to move the needle on making future C++ *actually* more memory safe, instead of just adding more advanced ways to do memory unsafety!

Úprimne netuším, ako sa z 900 eur dá s aspoň nejakou mierou dôstojnosti prežiť, o nižších sumách nehovoriac, lebo aj tie mnohí ľudia dostávajú. A majú rodiny."
