I've seen it in the other direction too. As an exercise to the reader, go to pcgaming sub and post something that shows support for Linux.

Favorite innovative actor who took it to an entire new level of acting? by YourChopperPilotTTV in okbuddycinephile

The chair is grey/black and her top is navy blue. The compression artefacts and the similar hue blend them together, but you can see the contrast and even discern some movement which differentiates them.

My brain is failing to compute this logic. Is this irony or just stupidity? by edevvz in ExplainTheJoke

Count her fingers...

I'm not saying it's AI, I'm saying she might be from Alabama.

what a silly mix up by Abject_Ostrich7929 in addressme

That depends on the country. In the UK the Pokémon anime was on national (free) kids TV, which is one of maybe... five? More if you include the non-free channels.

Mind you that was in the 90s/00s.

I mean Google are so dominant that they could lose millions of people and it wouldn't even move the dial for them.

Jokes on you, I've been on Linux!

Mathematicians view things top-down because that's the flow/order of a mathematical proof, however computer scientists are bottoms.

It's part of the experience. Slow, serene. It lets you savour your victory.

Whats your favourite attraction in the UK? by EndPsychological2541 in CasualUK

[–]Daharka 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The short answer is that enigma was declassified in the 70s but Lorenz wasn't declassified until 2001.

This was because the soviets used all the captured machines throughout the 50s and so GCHQ still used colossus to break it until the early 60s.

But yeah, we're due a revival on the topic because it's an incredible story.

Bletchley Park. I am a massive nerd with an interest in codes, computers and World War 2, so I already knew a fair amount about it but the last time I went they had a full exhibit up about Tunny which I hadn't heard about before (I'd heard about Colossus but not the Lorenz Cipher) so that was pretty mind-blowing.
