Nothing in that article shows how to check if you’ve been affected however the dev’s recommend you manually install 8.9.1 or higher to mitigate this type of attack from happening again.

edit:
I suppose I didn’t either, they haven’t said if there are any clear indicators that you’ve been compromised however if you allowed npp to auto update before manually updating to 8.9.1 then you were within the vulnerability window. If auto update got you to 8.9.1 that does not necessarily mean you were not affected.

Just to be clear, npp itself wasn’t compromised, the hosting provider for distribution was compromised and redirecting update requests to malicious servers, basically MITM, however npp after 8.9.1 hardens against this attack by verifying the downloaded file and using https.

I’ve always liked the idea of a rando being in events with the worlds best so we can get an idea of how much better the pros are than average. I’m down to be that rando in any event, I’ll give it everything I’ve got. Once.

gross

Neat, the trees host microbes that can capture additional gases besides CO2, and they’re looking into which trees host the most effective microbes. Seems like a lot of discoveries lately have been about beneficial microbes like some gut bacteria or the ones that breakdown plastics into basic compounds. Maybe they’ll find one that breaks up misfolded proteins next.

A technology connections video with a 30 minite rant??

oh.

The comments on that forum have always been a toxic shithole but these users still amaze me

I am wondering what business purpose this would serve to invest time and money on it. Any ideas?

lmao.

Patched in June 2024

I love this change log, they have great demos of the changes and good descriptions of why they changed it and it is all human readable. Godot devs are awesome.

so the 100 companies are fossil fuel companies and the comic implies shifting consumers away from fossil fuels is pointless?

Have 2 sets of goals, one set is measurable and achievable near term, this can be as simple as going to bed on time or doing one proper pushup or saving $5 this week. The other set of goals are for your dreams or ambitions, have something in mind worth fighting for, they don’t have a set timeline and you may not ever reach them but if you do you’ve accomplished your life goals or set up the future so someone else can get there. The important part is to have the goals and start to figure our what steps you need to get there.
Don’t feel guilty about just enjoying life, if you enjoy getting your guilty pleasure just drop the guilt part, that’s not to say go ahead and spiral out of control but you are allowed to enjoy things that are within your reach.
People will offer to help you with stuff. fucking let them help you, people like to feel needed and feel better when they get to help you, stop feeling guilty about accepting help. you are letting them help so that they feel good about themselves and you might accidentally form bonds with other humans.
It is ok to be bored, healthy even. Do absolutely nothing once in a while, no music, no phone, no background noise. Just let your mind wander and decompress. I use my evening commute for this, except on science friday, imma learn about some shit on fridays, like how it is ok to be bored sometimes.

Dobby doesn’t want this sock…

yeah he should be watching cartoons. Like Invincible.

I’ve toyed with it in the past but never had a need for it that Wine couldn’t fill, however I’ve heard of people using it for industrial or lab apps that require old windows versions. They also collaborate with Wine since they are solving a lot of the same problems.

Such a cool project, I don’t have a use for it but I’ve heard of people using it for industrial or lab applications that require ancient versions of windows.

you are allowed to enjoy living.

This seems like a prank Winston from New Girl would come up with.

in mice.

Still promising, but you can almost always append “in mice” to these kinds of headlines.

it is ball shaped so the pea is stored in the balls.

It’s Cheryl! You’re not my supervisor!

You skipped this part:

Echoing a statement from the American College of Radiology after the study’s release, she stressed that the study’s projection of cancer diagnoses from CT scans was based on statistical modeling, not actual patient outcomes.

There are no published studies directly linking CT scans to cancer, the statement says. “Americans should not forgo necessary, life-saving medical imaging and continue to discuss the benefits and risks of these exams with their healthcare providers,” it continues.

You can tell whatever story you want from statistics, it could be that people that get CT scans have a higher chance of getting a cancer diagnosis because they are getting medical care and others just go undiagnosed.

The point isn’t that CT scans cause cancer, that was always a risk with any ionizing radiation. The point is that radiation exposure from CT scans varies wildly based on the operator and you should do what you can to reduce your exposure, but don’t skip a CT because of a scary headline.
