Notepad++'s update servers have been compromised by Chinese hackers and all users had been exposed to malware. The developer estimated the overall compromise period spanned from June through December 2, 2025.
Users should update to version 8.9.1 (or superior) immediately.

Twice in the past three days, I stumbled on a piece of printed media younger than a decade old mentioning a URL to an online video game that doesn't exist anymore.
Once in a Spirit Animals book by Brandon Mull that my 9 year-old daughter picked at the book barn specifically for it. She was disappointed but read the book anyway. The link now redirects to the series presentation on the publisher website.
Second in LEGO instructions for a 2014 set, there's an full-page advertisement for the PC/Android/iOS game LEGO City My City doesn't exist anymore anywhere I looked.
The difference in longevity between the two mediums is striking.

I wanted to setup a single-user instance on the Fediverse, but did not want to deal with the involved Mastodon install (which I've done a while ago). I found Soapbox with Rebased as the back-end and used that. The setup was super simple, it runs well on a low resource machine and the UI is fantastic.
Thanks to @alex for making Soapbox.

I have so many feels about this. On the one hand, it makes me sad. On the other, maybe it's an understandable evolution of the field since we're just freaking DROWNING in architectural complexity?
On the other, what does it mean if we have an up and coming generation of developers who not only don't know how but don't WANT to know how to pull back the curtain and dive deep?

How tech smart is the average fedizen? See if you can answer the question below:
Your #pleroma instance is not receiving deactivate and reactivate activities correctly; meaning a remote user who has been suspended or unsuspended on one instance may not be shown as such on yours.
What is the best way to approach and solve this problem?

If a website ever leads you to a #github, #gitlab, or #gitea repository immediately close your browser and run your anti-virus.
Git is a malware that makes a copy of your files and code and lists them on these repositories without your consent!! Named and created after the infamous hacking group GitYourCode.

Give Up #GitHub: The Time Has Come!
source: https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2022/jun/30/give-up-github-launch/Specifically, we at Software Freedom Conservancy have been actively communicating with #Microsoft and their GitHub subsidiary about our concerns with “Copilot” since they first launched it almost exactly a year ago. Our initial video chat call (in July 2021) with Microsoft and GitHub representatives resulted in several questions which they said they could not answer at that time, but would “answer soon”. After six months of no response, Bradley published his essay, If Software is My #Copilot, Who Programmed My Software? — which raised these questions publicly. Still, GitHub did not answer our #questions.

Any translation needs?
Hi. I have a friend who is in her last year of the #translation school. She needs to cover certain number of words of English-Spanish translation to graduate. It could be a good opportunity to contribute to a #free #software project. If you need translation help, drop me a comment.
