What a sweet lil baby 😻

The Jungle Book is a children’s movie. There’s also a book called The Jungle by Upton Sinclair that is about the horrors of capitalism in the early 1900s.

Same… Hmm…

Not sure what they’re referring to, but there are a number of warnings when you install an APK and you have to enable a setting to allow you to install an APK. It’s not challenging or restrictive, but a user who is unfamiliar might be discouraged from installing an app this way after seeing the warnings.

Apparently official skin support no longer exists but Millennium for Steam looks like an unofficial tool that can be used for skins.

Exactly! Just like how we say twenty eleven for 2011.

Now the years 2001-2009 we just don’t talk about…

It is true that a lot of music is recorded digitally and then put on vinyl. I’m in a band and we did this exact thing for our latest release. The mastering engineer did a special master specifically for vinyl that is different than the digital release master.

It is possible to do the recording process analog, but it is more expensive and time consuming.

There’s also a hybrid option that some elect to do, where they record to tape (analog) and then edit it digitally.

Ada is a feminine name. The Ada language is named after Ada Lovelace.

The good news is, a lot of old secrets won’t really matter anymore by the time we have quantum computers that can break the encryption. There will obviously be a big impact on information that was encrypted just before we get a working quantum computer that can crack modern crypto.

In cryptography discussions, I feel like we’re usually implying (or even saying out loud) that the encryption is secure for a sufficient amount of time and computer power. Perhaps people outside of cryptography don’t know it, but I think there is a reasonable expectation that encrypted communications could be decrypted at some point in the future. We just hope it’s sufficiently far enough away (or difficult enough) to not be a problem.

Honestly as soon as we get some good post-quantum crypto, we’ll probably want to switch over to it asap, even if good quantum computers are still far out, just to help alleviate some of this problem. Of course, I imagine we’re still going to be finding new things once the technology is real and being used. Let’s hope the post-quantum cryptography algorithms we come up with actually are strong against a sufficiently large quantum computer.

I mean, yes? Here’s another photo from the same shoot posted on their Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CVQzDKmhVxN/?igsh=MTl1N25xemZhN3hwMw==

This is it! Old water coolers

Not opposed to this, but why do I want this?

I suppose many responsive sites have a maximum content width that is admittedly a lot smaller than many displays these days. I guess this lets you use a couple more pixels of vertical space by trading the wasted horizontal space.

I am gay. I have a gay friend who uses that term in a “taking it back” sense.

I love my friend and respect him but it hurts so bad it’s to hear that. It’s honestly triggering to me because it reminds me of middle and high school.

I wish he wouldn’t use that term but maybe it is okay if we really are taking it back.

I have talked to some elder gays who seem to feel the same way about other terms like “lesbian” so maybe it really is a generational aversion to the slur of the time.

I don’t like feeling genuinely upset but I am willing to endure it if it means progression for LGBTQIA+ ppl.

Anyone who has a thought about this pls reply. Would really love to hear non-straight folks opinions on it, but even willing to hear straight folks opinions as long as they are respectful and non-violent. ♥️

Not really on board with pageants but congrats to her.

Yup this is how you do it. I ride the train standing up without holding anything all the time. If you stand perpendicular and lean during accel/decel it’s very stable. If you are facing parallel to the trains direction you’re gonna faceplant.

Thanks for the explanation!
