Good News, Everyone!
Canonical has implemented one of my suggestions after the recent crypto scam issue in the Snap Store. This is excellent progress and should be applauded. 👏

forum.snapcraft.io/t/manual-re…

#ubuntu #linux #snapcraft

A snapshot from my blog post a month back. The second bullet point is highlighted What I think Canonical should do urgently These suggestions are to reduce the opportunity for a bad actor to publish a similar scam application. * Mandate & verify that all published applications using financial and/or cryptocurrency branding are officially published directly by the upstream developers * Change the store so all initial Snapcraft store name registrations are gated behind human review Gate the first month of a new snap uploads behind human review * Block all interface connection requests behind a human review, including automatically connected ones like network and home * Fully staff the team doing the above to respond to registration, interface connection and upload requests in a timely fashion * Send out a clean snap update (as we did in 2018) to all clients that have the scam snaps still installed

Manual review of all new snap name registrations

Over the recent weeks, the Snap Store has been under attack by various publishers attempting to upload malicious crypto-wallet snaps.

People never read instructions to begin with, why do you think self serve checkouts need people there guiding users how to use them. It's easy to assume that everyone else has the same knowledge base that you do but that's often not the case if you're an experienced user

Anyone who wonders why people think the economy is bad when the stock market is great should think about this. (Also they should think about how little the stock market benefits working voters.)

In Wisconsin, a vote for Biden or Trump could come down to grocery prices

In Wisconsin, the local Piggly Wiggly has become ground zero for economic discontent. Voters say high grocery prices could determine their pick for president.

Moscow concert hall attack

The questions I am asking:
Why and how did Islamic State attack a concert hall in Moscow?
Why now?
What is the full reason for Putin claiming the Ukrainians had a hand in this? Did he have a hand in the Islamist's attack within his own country? Is this to manipulate his people into more actively supporting his war?
Is there another reason? Did Putin have a hand in arming Hamas and suggesting a civilian target? Are perhaps Islamists unhappy that things did not go as promised?

None of what I am suggesting may be true. But, I do think it is worthwhile checking things out.

Knowing how our US electronic surveillence intel of terrorist groups works (my son is Air Force intelligence) and that that they were monitoring messages and other indicators that led to the warning a month ago that something with this ISIS group was afoot, it's possible we may learn more from those sources.

It was an ISIS attack on CHRISTIANS. The US warned Russia of the impending attack, even up to four days before the attack. Putin didn’t warn anyone. He rejected the warnings, then spun the information to inflame more hatred for the West and Ukraine. He will get away with his huge blunder that has to date killed 133 people.

1. What did we learn from Covid? 2. Man: It's the anniversary of a great tragedy. Woman: I know, over a million Americans have died. Man: I mean having to wear masks in public. 3. Man: Remember how they were just overflowing into the streets? Woman: The morgues? Man: The lines for toilet paper. 4. Man: Thank goodness for our heroes. Woman: The healthcare workers who risked their lives? Man: The people who defied ordinances and packed indoor spaces! 5. Man: And years later, people are still suffering. Woman: From long Covid? Man: The landlords whose office buildings are empty because people work from home! 6. Man: Well, I say NEVER AGAIN! Woman: Be unprepared for a global pandemic?

I just discovered the panel colorizer widget, thought might suggest you to try it out if you want even more theming options on a panel.

I agree though, the way settings for both the panel settings and widgets settings is clunky, I dislike how there is a state where you can be editing widgets and not the panel, like just show me all the options when I enter edit mode on the panel.
