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

To be fair, I made up JLC as an acronym for Jamie Lee Curtis on the spot lol

The MCU is slop, JLC is right.

I have used Excel to make tags from a table before. Usually just for one off stuff and before I was very familiar with JavaScript.

E.g. if you have a table of 100 urls you could use excel to easily turn them into a tags using the various text formulas like concat.

It's probably never the best tool for the job but sometimes I'll do stuff in Excel just because I'm very familiar with it.

To clarify I am not a programmer by trade lol

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

Now the years 2001-2009 we just don't talk about...

Years ago the punk band Treephort turned this billboard into a song: https://treephort.bandcamp.com/track/gorilla

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.

Is banning them from lobbying sufficient?

What if someone retired from politics and then works for Shell and pays for a free weekend getaway to the Bahamas for a Congress member? Or for their "friend"?

Sounds like we need strict laws around what is lobbying

Love Primitive Technology but that food looks pretty bad 😆

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.

Yeah "gif" has basically become a common noun like escalator at this point.

It's even notified on the Wikipedia page for gif, in the third paragraph: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIF
