Shimaa's situation is dire & miserable. I'm close to her & she tells me I give her some the only hope she has, & her telling me that is sacred to me. She's in the streets of Gaza, with rodents & rubble & filth under bombardment, caring for her baby in a wheelchair, only lacking a tent. Can we give?

disingenuous and utterly misleading reporting by RPS here: Discord did not suffer any kind of breach this is a completely-unaffiliated-with-Discord service

Gaming chat app Discord has suffered another user data breach, with a suspected 1 million email addresses stolen alongside (potentially many more) user IDs and IP addresses. While Discord was not targeted directly, third party security service Double Counter have reported a "deliberate, multi-stage attack" wherein hackers spent nearly six hours poking around their infrastructure before the vulnerability was closed.

Double Counter essentially acts as a bouncer bot for Discord servers, promising to detect and block unsanctioned alt accounts and prevent hostile 'raids' by large groups of malicious users. While its efficacy in that mission is debated by Discord users, and the service has previously been accused of selling user data for revenue, the fact is that Double Counter can collect and store personal info of the users that visit its 'protected' servers. Info that, now, has been partly or entirely nicked by Internet miscreants.

By Double Counter’s own estimates, around 1 million user email addresses have been affected, with databases of Discord IDs, usernames, IP addresses, and even location info for up to 28 million users also "partly" copied by the hackers. Security breach trackers Have I Been Pwned further report that 275,000 of the pinched emails and usernames have since been posted publicly.

Creating art from nothing makes you feel so powerful. You act like it's no big deal but when someone tells you they liked a piece you wrote or or an ad you did it fills up your energy bar like none other. Because it didn't exist before you made it. AI stans will never understand this feeling.

Repression in France’s overseas territories gets little attention. But protests are also happening and kids are detained. In Guadeloupe, 21 schools were blocked on the 6th of October. In Le Moule, gendarmes were choking, kicking and pinning a teenager to the ground during his arrest.

An important point: the protests began in working-class suburbs with large racialised populations, including Saint-Denis, north of Paris. This historic burial place of French kings now has a Black mayor, Bally Bagayoko, from the left-wing party LFI. White supremacy also underpins police brutality.
