Wow, really strong "only terrorists use encryption" vibes.

The world used to be more like the comic. Now it's more unilateral.

But the one important detail never changes.

I think it was the Babylonians that created the hour/minute/second and a precursor of the meter on the process. It's high-tech bronze-age innovation, that got hyped-out so much that it took the entire Old-World by storm, so the Egyptians got them too.

Doesn't wifi have its own retrial protocol? It's been a long time since I've read the standard, but I think it's almost lossless from the POV of TCP.

I dunno what this is doing on this community.

If your lab has ongoing experiments that need an standup to keep up with, you are a bad person. If it's cargo-culting the software cargo-cult from factory management, then yeah.

Hum... I think the week is more widely adopted than the solar year.

But neither is universal. AFAIK, the length of the day is.

Then she could turn them into 2 pairs of Tuvok + Neelix!

It had to fit a K7 tape.

Depends on how you define "letter", but they are definitively not alphabetical. They are ideographs.

I'd say that "alphabet" has no relation to the things on that string.

But yeah, it's the Unicode Consortium that knows something about it, not Swift.

The growing lack of clear space on the bottom squares is evidence of the top method's superiority.

As a developer that learned it once, a long time ago, naturally I sign to the pledge...

I have some doubts if I should mark it NSFW.

All those student protests on the US seem to be about stopping their universities from supporting the Israel government. But supporting a foreign government is not a normal thing for a university to do, why do they do it?

Is there some educational or research resource they get?

The links like !NoStupidQuestions@lemmy.world.

I have had a pretty bad time making those work. I have tried searching for them at the communities page, and removing the exclamation mark and pasting them on my instance (lemmy.world/c/NoStupidQuestions@lemmy.world).

Some times one of those works, other times my instance finds nothing. And if I go directly to the home instance of the community, it doesn't bring my login.

What is the recommended way to use those?
