Trojita, the fastest Email Client - Gmail Setup Guide

on
 I had recently switched to KDE from Gnome and was looking for an Alternative for Geary. I really liked how fast Geary was and neither Thunderbird nor KMail could act as a replacement for my need(Simple and fast). Before giving up for another Electron app, I gave a try to Trojita and immediately fell in love with its speed. It was blazingly fast to the extent even Geary could never match! This is a simple guide to setup Trojita for Gmail.  Sources: OMG Ubuntu Google Support Overview: You need to make use of App Passwords in Google Account in order to access Trojita through Gmail (The other way is to enable Less Secure App Access which doesn't sound inviting!). App Passwords, in turn, need 2-Factor Authentication turned on. After installing Trojita, you need to setup IMAP servers for Gmail. Turn on 2- Step Verification Set up App Passwords Install Trojita Logging in with Gmail 1. Turn on 2-StepVerification Open your Google Account . In the navigation panel, select Security...

Mark Zuckerberg quits his job at Facebook (All due to a bug)!

Facebook Bug

Well, if you are looking for an official announcement, check his facebook post itself.

Now, don't worry. That facebook post itself is a misguide all due a bug in facebook. I'm sure Zuck isn't planning to leave facebook anytime soon!

Well, this couldn’t be called a real bug as there is no technicality involved in this issue. However, an independent hacker Sachin Thakuri, outlining the same, has uncovered this flaw that is enough to fool people into believing some fake news.

Here’s the original URL of Mark Zuckerberg’s original life event.

https://www.facebook.com/zuck/timeline/story?ut=32&wstart=-2051193600&wend=2147483647&hash=971179541251&pagefilter=3&ustart=1&__mref=message_bubble

If you see the URL carefully and remove the ustart=1 parameter, the work status of ustart=1 parameter. Take a look at the changed and misguiding Facebook post without  ustart=1parameter:
 https://www.facebook.com/zuck/timeline/story?ut=32&wstart=-2051193600&wend=2147483647&hash=971179541251&pagefilter=3&&__mref=message_bubble
As I mentioned above, this isn’t a technical flaw, but this must be fixed as it could be easily used for notorious purposes. “…although on a client side the post is coming from a valid user and there is no way to figure out that the post has been manipulated and has not been posted by a user,” Sachin writes.
He has reported the bug to the Facebook security team, but Facebook hasn’t fixed this yet.

As long as it takes, we can have fun with this bug where you can surely fire your boss!
