Getting @thallyio’s logo to show in Gmail sent me down a $990/year rabbit hole. Got it working for $0. The missing piece was one Google profile setting. Wrote up the steps for other solo and indie founders 👇

$990/year to show your startup’s logo in Gmail? Here's a $0 workaround

Me see big wall words from orange chief Trump. Funny talk man Maher once help chief on show, become big. Now Maher mean, sweat when visit white cave, then lie on show. Maher numbers fall like dead mammoth. Chief numbers high. Maher spew fake about voters and cities. Maher loser, no more talk. Chief strong. Ugh.

When you get a spam message like this, don't reply QUIT. That goes to *their* system. If you reply STOP, they get penalized at the network level 💅

Some great photos have been released of a SAAF Rooivalk at the Dragon Peaks Park camp in the Drakensberg, for the first time in quite a few years. The camp, in which crews train in high-altitude mountain conditions, featured 3 A109s, an Oryx & BK117 in addition to the Rooivalk.

‼️ Researcher Erica Windisch skipped coordinated vulnerability disclosure and published 11 unpatched Tailscale flaws. In her lab, Tailscale SSH race conditions let one hacked device get root on other servers and add a rogue node.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Tailscale SSH findings require prior authorized access on the tailnet per the researcher's report; Tailscale stated issues concern post-authorization behavior only and did not recommend disabling SSH for everyone. tailworm.com x.com/IntCyberDigest…

another development :) my samsung TV loads a region specific convolutional neural network (LogoCNN.bin, cnn.mapping) which tracks your usage in app. like in youtube it's looking for videos you watch, ads you skip, progress in a video, etc. so glad they're interested in me.

You don't value the Freedom of Speech enough. You think you do, but you don't. France is about to censor the Internet as everything goes down. Get Starlink, get a VPN, pray Elon holds the line with X. Don't let yourself be censored. Don't let your voice be silenced.
