That might work on French users of a French MMORPG, but I don't see how the structure of a discussion can be used to identify fatboys outside of that context.
Someone got fifty messages from a bunch of people, all at once -- and it turns out that that same bunch of fifty people does this often, to other individuals?
They must be evil fatboys!
... Either that, or it happens when it's someone's birthday at the office.
The "real" world of communication isn't quite so restricted as that of a French MMORPG.

I'm not sure why this needs more research..

A security researcher has discovered a vulnerability in Canonical's snapd package which could be exploited to gain administrator privileges and root access to affected Linux systems. The security issue has been dubbed Dirty_Sock and assigned the code CVE-2019-7304. Linux really does want to be "The New Windows"

Snap, flatpack, etc. are disasters waiting to happen.
Yet another headlong rush into a "Great New Way of Doing Things" that can only end in tears.
I refer the learned gentlemen to my previous comment on a matter[^] that also applies here.

I think the answer to your comment there fits even better here

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Android Things, Google's stripped-down version of Android named for its focus on the "Internet of Things" (IoT), is now no longer focused on IoT. New name: "Android Somethings"
|

I ran the article through a BS translator, and it came up with this:
Google said: We are gonna get sooooo burned when all those IoT devices using 993 different versions of our unmanaged mini-android OSes start getting hacked by the millions! We'd better get out of that biz ASAP!

Microsoft’s Chief Legal Officer and President Brad Smith met with the Catholic Pontiff today to discuss how AI can be used ethically and what can be done to help bridge the digital divide between rich and poor nations. They're really pushing their products hard, aren't they?
Personal visits for everyone!

Yes, because if you want a logical, rational talk about science, the first place to go is the Catholic church.
Just ask Galileo.

A new study shows how easy it would be for price-setting algorithms to learn to collude with each other and keep prices at a disadvantage for customers. The robot apocalypse will begin with personal bankruptcies
|
|
|
|
|
Except "collusion" doesn't mean what the "researchers" think it means. Instead, the identical algorithms came to an identical optimal solution. Big surprise.
|
|
|
|
|
Exactly.
It's common knowledge that the most profit is made by collusion between companies, resulting in the illegal version of "price fixing" -- it is the single most effective way of swindling customers.
WTF did the AI trainers expect the AIs to learn?
It's bad enough that AIs can go off and work things out in wrong ways (which can go unnoticed for a long time, as long as the results are within parameters), but if we allow fidiots to feed the AIs, really bad things could result from it.

At Build developer conference last year, Microsoft announced that they will be introducing a new Windows class that will allow developers to easily include multiple windows support in their UWP apps. After some delay, Microsoft has now finally released this support for developers. Progress is a heckofa drug
I can't wait for all the popups to start appearing (again).

One developer let out a loud cheer. The other two just yawned.

Golly Gosh!
Just think what a dream it would be if they ever came up with a way of working with everything in its own window, which can be moved around, minimised, and even maximised (that's maximised as in what their previous Great New Advancement, UWP, introduced).
Since they will obviously be really busy working on an icon for that great, new system, we should think of a name for it!
How about "XP"?
Or "'95"?
Or just "3", or "7"?
The future will be so Great, once they've figured out how to used windows!

A popular note on the Linux Kernel Mailing List claims that a program's author can block people from using his code at his discretion. Wrong. "No backsies!"

I'm not convinced and until it's tested in court, nobody should be.

Ponemon says that a third of companies do not believe they could fend off a data-stealing cyberattack in 2019. Look to your right. Look to your left. Now duck.

WTF do they care?
It's been shown that proper spin on the way you handle a data breach means that it won't affect your bottom line, so who amongst the CEOs and CFOs gives a f***?

This is awful on so many levels.
how confident are you that your organization can avoid a data breach:
Very confident: 10%
Confident: 23%
Somewhat Confident: 23%
Not confident: 44%
At a minimum that reduces to roughly 1 in 2 companies can't protect themselves from a breach. But I think it's more likely the headline reader misunderstood the data (or the chart creator got it backwards), and based on the survey data it should read "Only One in Three Enterprises can Protect Themselves from Data Breaches".
OTOH I suspect what the data really shows is that 56% of companies are in denial about their risk of being breached.
