One good thing about the Metrix Reader is that if you have ADHD you don't have to worry that the results are sitting there for an hour or two. Anyway, I'm negative for Covid.

Made a mistake just buying a few test kits, though. Now they are out of stock and I'm waiting for more (unless I want to buy 25pk of the covid/flu test w/ 9 months expiration, which is a lot of tests and money).

It happens because you end up downloading metadata for each repo separately, but a package from appstream may have a dependency on a package from baseos and if baseos is the old version, it will fail.

Next time someone says “black privilege doesn’t exist” let them know they’re wrong. It feels so good ordering a pumpkin spice latte and not be chastised the same way I would be if I was a white girl

Lots of options were out of stock and the price is horrible these days, but I went ahead and picked up a protectli.

Coding is a collection of very niche genres of literature. It's okay if you don't get it. Not all forms of art are for everyone.

I don’t know how people could say that programming and art are completely different disciplines when both workflows involve going ‘This will never work, I’m a failure’, changing one thing, then thinking you might be the smartest person alive

Everyone is making fun of her, but for some people it really is difficult to narrow things down to just three. Sure, you could say just pick three and who cares, but not everyone's brain works that way. I still wouldn't have asked an AI, but that's me.

It still cracks me up that she thought the man she had feelings for was the secret lover of the man she was engaged to.

If you lose enough times, perhaps you'll start selecting candidates that are worth electing, because the other team is selecting candidates that their base loves. "Elect our bigots or their bigots will win because they have more bigot lovers than we do!" Fuck that.

"We couldn't find a trans friendly candidate." is very much like, "We couldn't find anyone but cishet white men for the panel."

I think often of how people often have said "Follow isn't endorsement." A lot of times someone I don't know says something and I don't know if they are good people or not and the follower list is all I have to go by.

Microsoft Teams to Use AI for Detecting Phishing Attacks Using Teams Conversations

cybersecuritynews.comMicrosoft Teams to Use AI for Detecting Phishing Attacks Using Teams ConversationsMicrosoft is preparing to add AI phishing detection to Microsoft Teams, using conversation context to spot scams that may contain no harmful links or attachments. The feature will focus mainly on first conversations with external contacts, where attackers can pose as trusted support staff and ask employees to share sensitive information. Microsoft detailed the change in Message Center notice MC1519866 , published on October 21, 2026. Targeted Release is scheduled to begin in early November and finish by mid-November. Worldwide general availability is expected to start in early December and finish by mid-December, rather than reaching every customer in November. How Conversation Context Helps Detect Phishing Traditional warning signs, such as suspicious links and infected files, are not always present in social engineering attacks. A message can instead build trust, claim an urgent account problem, and persuade someone to disclose a password or approve remote access. Microsoft says the new capability will analyze conversation context to identify phishing, impersonation, social engineering, and deceptive intent. Its support guidance describes coverage for individual and group chats involving new external contacts across mobile, desktop, and web. Roadmap entry 575288 lists Android, iOS, Mac, desktop, and web support for the worldwide standard cloud. The warning example accompanying the announcement shows an external account called “MOD Administrator” discussing permission problems before asking, “Can you share your credential first?” Teams displays a notice saying the message could be a phishing attempt. The example illustrates why the meaning of a conversation can matter even without a dangerous URL. Source : Microsoft This addresses a familiar attack pattern. Cybersecurity News previously reported on attackers impersonating IT help desk staff through Teams , using convincing support requests to push users toward malware or remote access. Separate reporting described fake support operators abusing Quick Assist after contacting employees through external Teams accounts. Microsoft says detection may initially run silently while it checks quality. Visible warnings may appear after that validation, so users should not expect every suspicious message to trigger an immediate banner during the rollout. For most users, protection centers on external first-contact chats. Teams mobile users in China may also receive protection for conversations within their own organization, reflecting fraud patterns seen in that region. This is a specific extension, not a promise of universal internal chat scanning. Microsoft states that the capability serves security purposes only. It is not intended for advertising, employee monitoring, productivity analysis, or conversation summaries. Customer message content is not retained by the detection system for model training or other secondary uses. That statement should not be read as a change to all existing Teams retention policies. What Organizations Should Do No new administrator configuration is required to enable the protection. However, Microsoft recommends reviewing guidance for unfamiliar external contacts and encouraging users to report suspicious activity or incorrect detections. When a warning appears, employees should check the sender’s identity and email address through a trusted channel. Microsoft advises blocking and reporting confirmed phishing, while mistaken warnings can be reported as not a concern. Users should never share passwords, verification codes, financial details, or sensitive information through an unexpected support conversation. The update adds another warning layer, but staff still need to independently verify unexpected support requests and report suspicious contacts, rather than treating the absence of a banner as proof of safety. Update defenses against new malware as soon as it appears. Integrate TI Feeds with data from 16K SOCs .

"You can change their mind after they win!" How many have you gotten to change their mind? Hmm? How many did you even bother trying to change after they won and you got what you wanted?

"You should use AI to audit your code." Cool. How much should I spend on it to audit my code with my non-existent budget? How much did that AI company just spend to find that vulnerability for advertising?
