@InvaderGzim not that I'm aware of

We'd need a separate column "my posts only" as well as "posts" & "posts & replies" and that woodna be a feature I'd wanna request 😬 lol

FYI

Always good when ya get a good bill of health

Well, at least for one/two email addresses you use

Its near impossible to have all email addresses with not one pwnage(unless you only have 1/2 3 Max & don't sign up for a lot of shite using they emails) - heck I have one that has 17 🫣 none however have actual personal stuff like bank details or that real stuff that can be used by criminals 😆 as long as you are aware of them and afterwards change they PWs for ALL accounts that could be affected

Not SOCRadar breach.... Or not?

What Exactly Happened in This Incident?

The investigation revealed that SOCRadar’s internal systems were not breached. The threat actor acquired a license from SOCRadar under a legitimate company name, providing access to the platform similar to any other customer. With this account, the actor could search for well-known domain names, collect Telegram channel names, and crawl these channels to harvest email addresses.

“app updates are planned” according to Rob Wainwright via the official Nova X account.

This was expanded with another update on the official Discord confirming that the now sole developer, Kevin, is “wrapping up some Nova 8.1 work” with “more builds” with “cut scope compared to what was planned.”

@hallmarc I've been using it on and off myself for about the same length of time as you

I used to have it on all my droids and would be one of the first things I'd do with a new device, install and set up Nova, but last 3/4 yrs i don't & just have it on one device now

This has affected key members of the team behind the third-party launcher, and the future outlook is uncertain just two years after Nova was acquired by Branch.

Another post from the official Nova Launcher X account states that the team has gone from “around a dozen” to just one full-time developer – the original founder Kevin Barry.

The future of Nova Launcher looks increasingly uncertain after a number of key layoffs to the dev team behind the popular third-party home screen replacement.

YouTube gives more users the power to call out fake news and misinformation

https://www.androidauthority.com/youtube-inviting-more-users-notes-feature-3469099/

YouTube notes feature is similar to Twitter’s Community Notes; it allows users to call out misinformation on the platform.

Google started testing this tool in June, and it’s now inviting more users to fact-check its videos.

Last week tonight US election 2024

Kevin claims there are “more than 30” people in the US, UK, Pakistan and India who work for the site

“Just because we purchased a YouTube channel from a Russian seller doesn't mean we have any affiliations,” Kevin says.

There is no hard evidence it is connected to Russia

Interesting

The real story of the news website accused of fuelling riots

Marianna Spring
BBC disinformation and social media correspondent

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y38gjp4ygo

They’re all linked to Channel3Now - a website whose story giving a false name for the 17-year-old charged over the Southport attack was widely quoted in viral posts on X.

Apparently they do it for the money, X ad revenue, as well as flooding the actual website with adverts & I do mean flooding it with ads
