Uninstall Opera from Kali Linux - How to remove Opera from Kali Linux latest version

Uninstall opera from Kali Linux or how to remove opera from Kali Linux latest version that's what we are going to see in this post. 

We used to install lot of programs on our device running on Kali but when we decided that Particular application is not working as expected or is no longer needed then we will go ahead and uninstall it. Though it is not an easy task like clicking an option on Windows its simple if you know the commands to do that. So, in this post let's see how to uninstall opera from Kali Linux. 

Remove opera Kali Linux [Guide].

 First, we have to find out the Opera's name as per our system, as there are chances we might have installed opera beta as well as Opera stable, so we will find it out that first.

1) Opera terminal

2) Type dpkg -l *opera* and hit enter.

3) When you ran the above command, it will show the package on our system like "Opera-stable" or "Opera-beta" or some other name.

4) Once you found out the name, then run the following command (The package installed on my system is stable version, so if its stable on our system as well , then run...

sudo dpkg -r opera-stable command. 

Note : If your system has different package name like opera-beta then replace opera-stable with the above command, (For example : sudo dpkg -r opera-beta) and hit enter..

That's it, now you had uninstalled opera from your Kali machine.

Now you need to enter your Date of birth on Instagram too as Instagram launches age verification..

Instagram has finally rolled out age verification process to prevent underage people from joining the network. So, if you are creating a new user account in Instagram, then you need to enter date of birth and age from now on, the company said in its statement. As usual, the default age is set to 13 years.

If you re a existing Instagram user, you don't need to worry as of now, as you don't need to confirm your age now.

           "Your birthday will not be visible to others on Instagram, but you’ll be able to see it when viewing your own private account information"

This changes are now live for new account creators, the Officials quoted this step was taken to ensure the underage kids are safe on social networks, and they are continuously developing new features for better privacy and offer education based contents .

And as you guessed, this tech can be still bypassed by smart kids, as there are no verification happening in the background, but insider sources says, that the social network giant has formed a team to ban the accounts if they feel the user is underage based on various mechanisms, we hope it will flag now existing more than 1 million+ underage users.

Facebook crisis response tool is coming to WhatsApp

Facebook crisis response tool coming to WhatsApp

WhatsApp is getting the small version of Facebook's crisis response tool to help people who are stuck in crisis and disasters. WhatsApp, the company now owned by Facebook is getting lot of features that is directly linking to Facebook in the past 6 months is getting yet another feature making it as latest addition to the list. What this Facebook crisis response tool will basically do is, it will check whether you are safe during any disaster, if you hadn't responded then it will notify your family members and friends about this disaster. Fund raisers will also be notified about the disaster to provide extended support. 

                      Tech crunch reported that, this WhatsApp integration doesn't mean WhatsApp will also get all the features, instead it will have only limited set of feature to ask for help through WhatsApp as well instead of just using Facebook messenger. 

Though, Facebook was accused for collecting lot of data, we guess if they collect data only for this kind of good cause (Of course they would !) then its good to go with until it really violates users privacy. What do you think?
