ShinyHunters compromised Canvas (to a currently unknown extent) which resulted in a "this system has been compromised" to over 9,000 universities.

As ridiculous as that sounds, I'm not memeing. It has been speculated it is actually over 9,000 universities.

@uncle_rassie What was your development stack here? Design is nice

[Alastair Hendricks @ali_hen]

@uncle_rassie you share the one you build and a link where I can report bugs 😂

I’m a software princess. Convenience has a price (I somehow have never paid for WisprFlow, but would)

@uncle_rassie don’t say that, I love my WisprFlow 😭

@RomarioLourenco @miguelgbandeira don’t tempt me with a flight.

@RomarioLourenco @miguelgbandeira *takes notes*

@uncle_rassie Inversely, there are also more gatekeepers that don’t want you see that they’re using AI to answer all the questions.
I miss egoless environments
