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…

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.

This is it! Old water coolers

At least we have font-family: sans-serif;

Nice, that’s a good point! I didn’t think of that.

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.

Wow this is unethical. They should all be separate toggles.

I use gimp but OP isn’t wrong. Doing a stroke on text is mindless in Photoshop and very convoluted in gimp.

This and xupermask are just cringe consoomer mush. It’s honestly shocking to me the trust that people put into celebrities and tech companies. Capitalists “disrupting” a regulated industry should be a big red flag.

Yeah I’d rather not be making regedits and of course can’t even do that on a work device.

No small taskbar icons option was bothersome for me. Have to deal with it on my work PC. So much lost screen space 😭

I have the same issue. When I start printing on my brother printer, the lights flicker 😨

Great printer, though

I still luckily have a nice group of friends using Signal but I agree that dropping SMS support was a mistake. There was a good issue explaining why dropping SMS support was bad on their GitHub: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/12560

Yup I use insert for this all the time.

Seems that guildcafe bought the satanic site and then just copied and pasted the text without preserving the hyperlinks.

It’s just text but I’m sure I’m underestimating it, especially at social media scale.

Anyone smarter than me know how much storage (I assume that’s most of the problem) overhead we’re talking with a version control system?

Given, we may not have a version control system that is appropriately designed for social media yet, so pre-existing software like git might not be efficient.

Part of the problem extended beyond software. Back when I got into recording, FireWire was necessary for the data bandwidth and it was standard on Macs. I had to install a card to work with my recording interface on Windows.

On a side note, been using Reaper for years and it has been great as a hobbyist option. I understand why any professional would use something like ProTools instead, though.
