Liberapay: Plattform für wiederkehrende Spenden. Wanted to like it with Liberapay Diaspora* account, but since I lost the master password of the password manager, I'm no longer in that team. Could you add me?

[Changaco]

@jorgesumle In the Bitwarden UI you're still listed as a member of the organization with access to the Diaspora* and Mastodon passwords.

Sorry, for some reason I thought it wasn't available.

What is wrong with Microsoft buying GitHub

[Changaco]

@waldyrious I've removed you from the Liberapay organization on GitHub because a few hours ago your account was used to create two malicious "releases" in the two repositories you had access to.

Update (June 14th): see https://github.com/opencompany/www.opencompany.org/issues/176 for more details.

[trebmuh]

Just FYI, I'll not be able to be active from the begin of July (around the 4) to somewhere around the 5/10 of August.

[waldyrious]

@changaco thanks for the quick reaction. I have now, to the best of my knowledge, secured my account and deleted all similar releases made in other repositories. Sorry about that!
