Don't believe the blue ticks, Gmail isn't shutting down. If you see a tweet claiming that, it's a hoax.

Google is ending the basic HTML-only Gmail this month – but it's otherwise continuing as normal. Relaxhttps://t.co/yFuLhtDqhc

If you're using Moq in your .NET software, you might want to rip it out asap. See issue below. https://t.co/6NPp3H81UM

An alternative might become CleanMoq:

Just released: CleanMoq
This is a forked repo and release from the original Moq .NET library
This release will contain ALL the changes from the last merge from Moq .NET without the spyware that was added recently.#dotnet #moq #mock https://t.co/xtyRQWa4S9

He excelled as one of the most well known social engineers of the era, so much so the myth that he could whistle a modem's connection tones haunted him in prison.

The tale of Tsutomu Shimomura tracking him and arresting him also impressed.

RIP, Condor. https://t.co/pt18iglQLh
