📰 Ubuntu Snap Prompting Improvements
If you haven’t tried Ubuntu’s ‘Permission Prompting’ feature for a while, there’s more reason to do so in the latest release. Canonical’s Oliver Calder has shared an update on recent improvements to the security feature, which sets out to “empower users” by letting them decide what software can access on the rest of the system at runtime rather than retrospectively.

🌠 On November 30, 1954, Ann Hodges of Sylacauga, Alabama, became the first documented person in modern history to be struck by a meteorite. The rock crashed through her roof 🏠, bounced off a radio 📻, and struck her hip, leaving a large bruise 💢. She became an overnight sensation, but the event took a heavy toll on her life 😔.
