"Slack hates the idea that anybody who uses it might ever develop any level of comfort with the program. I love their dedication to keeping me on my toes and slightly confused. It’s exactly what I want from an app that’s central to all my workflows."

Related to the latest round of everyone finding out what happens when you write image decoders in C++ now known as CVE-2023-5129: you may want to update every electron app on your machine as much as possible. Electron is built on the foundation of Google Chrome and it turns out that the webp vulnerability is also present in Electron. Annoyingly, this is going to require you to figure out which vendors have patched their apps for the vulnerability. Good luck.

You probably should update Discord immediately.

A trans friend of mine just got banned from LinkedIn for not using the name on their driver's license. Is there anyone I know that can help them?

EDIT: this has been escalated with support, trust&safety, and other layers. This should be handled for now. Thanks anonymous helper!
