If Senate Republicans don't confirm Matt Gaetz as attorney general & Kash Patel as FBI director, President Trump should sign an executive order to dissolve the FBI by rescinding the July 26, 1908 order that the FBI calls its founding document.

Interesting fact of the day. Invoking the 5th amendments right to remain silent can and will be used against you in civil court cases. The protection only really exists in criminal cases because in civil cases the jury is generally instructed to assume an invocation of the5th is due to the answer being incriminating.

My first #RISCV board, it's going to be an interesting experience... I just might have the opportunity to play with @fedora on RISC-V!

@stux The people who praise replacing one gun death with 10 knife deaths by making guns illegal are the same people who never stood up to people doing evil who were capable and willing to kill you.

When you are the one people are trying to kill your opinion on guns changes real quick. I certainly never bothered owning a gun before then. Now I open-carry with a license.

Heya everyone, I thought I posted this here last night, but apparently I didn't..

I regret to inform you that the Screen Shot Off The Record plugin that we linked to briefly was found to have a key logger and was sending screen shots to unwanted parties.

So if you have this plugin installed, you will want to remove it immediately.

You can see our official post about this at pidgin.im/posts/2024-08-malici

We are planning a more indepth post in the near future.

Did some malware reversing for the community this week in response to someone attempting to SE a malicious plugin into @pidgin a major open-source project. The project maintainer ( @grimmy) was very quick to respond, pulling security folks in immediately

Additionally, this led to the furtherance of their transparency policy, requiring all code for all plugins to be open-sourced for community review.

Supply Chain Attacks come from all angles, including code you don't compile or distribute, but users may still install and taint the reputation of your application.
