@icedquinn you're considerate for wanting to thank someone for being kind.

Recently, there has been misinformation about #Mozilla's browser #Firefox claiming that a new feature called #FirefoxSuggest would send any address bar inputs to advertising companies by default.

This is not true.

In reality, all sponsored suggestions are given offline by default, meaning that no additional user data is sent anywhere. Online suggestions are strictly opt-in.

Please do not spread false information.

@freemo Hey, where would the best place (in your opinion) to go online to buy magnets? My immediate go-to was ebay but I want something with more options/reputation if possible...

#TIL Ken Thompson's "Trusting Trust" compiler Trojan attack is not just a thought experiment. In fact, it was actually what he really did in real life. In a 1995 mail, he said he was able to successfully compromise the Unix Support Group at Bell Labs.

I first learned this Unix computer folklore at an free software meetup, and later shared it online. I was immediately corrected by someone, saying it's just a myth. I went to read the original paper and it seemed to be the case. #TIL there's actually more into this. The folklore is basically true. #retrocomputing #unix #infosec

Sorry, but due to childhood upbringing- my option isn't on the list. I used to collect the caps from Henry Weinhards because of the cheeky quirps.

Makes sense. I'm no astro-engineer but that sounds solid(no pun intended).
