  • As I said, I didn’t find an alternative, ended up just going back to regular Microsoft VSCode, I’ll poke around VSCodium again and see if I can get Python to work as I’m expecting it to.
    I suppose there is PyCharm Community Edition but I haven’t really used it enough to recommend. It also feels like Jetbrains IDEs end up being heavier than Electron, somehow. Depending on your use it might be overkill.
    I also know there’s that super hyped Rust based one called Zed that’s supposed to be really lightweight and fast, but who knows if they’re even focusing on that anymore given their whole homepage is now AI AI AI…

    AFAIK GIMP only gained GTK 3 support on Nov 2024 and they’re still working on GTK 4.
    If this is really GTK 4, they might have forked from GIMP for a while now.
    There’s chances this really is a brand new UI on top of GIMP as opposed to just being a layout change and rename, but I guess someone would have to poke at it further to confirm.


  • Reading the post, the issue is more on Snap’s side and the way Ubuntu configures it than on Systemd.

    Ubuntu automatically deletes old files from the /tmp directory after a certain number of days. During this cleanup, an important directory used by snap-confine may get removed. This creates an opportunity for the attacker to act. Once the directory is deleted, the attacker quickly recreates it with malicious content.

    In this scenario, a cron job could trigger it too.




  • Some time ago it was common advice (at least over here) to never save contacts as “Mom”, “Dad” or “GF” lest your phone gets stolen and the robbers instantly know who to try scamming first.
    This particular advice kinda died with everybody moving to smartphones and passcodes yet I never moved on. Everybody on my phone is just First Name. Last Name together if I need to disambiguate.
    Meanwhile there’s my friends where my contact is a random string of emojis and a 8 year old inside joke neither of us remember the meaning of, making it almost impossible to send myself something from their device lol. And they say I’m cold because their contacts are just “First Name” on my device lol.









  • “CyberAlberta’s investigation found that WebinarTV primarily gains initial access to Zoom webinars via third-party browser extensions. These extensions can access webinar links when a user either inadvertently grants calendar permissions—exposing meeting invitations—or willfully submits meeting details into the WebinarTV platform,” the report said. “WebinarTV is believed to leverage a range of browser extensions that provide functionalities such as AI powered transcription and note-taking tools, or tools to automate the joining of online meetings.

    Remember folks, be skeptical of every single extension you add to your browser. Try to install only the absolutely necessary and if possible, only FOSS extensions.
    This model of offering simple functionality together with malware is so widespread, you wouldn’t believe.
