📰 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.

#Idiom
💢Go off on a tangent
Or
💢 Go off at a tangent
🔰If a person or piece of writing goes off on a tangent or goes off at a tangent, they start saying or thinking something that is not directly connected with what they were saying or thinking before
💠Note:-
In geometry, a tangent is a straight line which touches a curve at one point
🕸 Ex:- Our teacher would occasionally go off on a tangent and start talking about something totally unrelated to the textbook.
💠Note:-
You can use other verbs instead of go
🕸 Ex:- The book's theme wandersoff on a tangent now and then.

💢Even exchange: a trade of equal value; when you return something and take something else that costs the same price
✨ Ex: If you return that jacket and get this sweater instead, it will be an even exchange. They're both $39.99.
#Idiom
💢(To) steer clear of: to avoid, usually due to a bad experience
✨ Ex: Mark got food poisoning at O'Reilly's? We'd better steer clear of that place from now on!
#Idiom
💢(To) have the magic touch: to have talent at doing something; to be able to do something difficult.
