@mathlover I'd watch this movie on HBO Max.
Except I cancelled that because they were confused about Gone With the Wind.

@elomatreb 1984 man, YOU'RE RIGHT!
Could I score a fry?
Requiring a backdoor for encryption won't stop any cyber-related crime. Encryption is just math. You can't put a math genie back in a bottle for a whole society.
@mewmew @fortewily I think it also matters how, when, and why people own up to those things when confronted with their past.

think of something you've tried to do or learn before and found pretty difficult, especially something from when you were younger. if you try doing or learning it now, there's a decent chance you will still struggle with it... but a surprisingly high one that it'll somehow be really easy suddenly because you've picked up some orthogonal skill or knowledge that inexplicably changed your brain to a subtly different and better brain without you noticing
@polychrome @lain @sampo is anteater pretty shur
And this is the amusing article that lead me there - key morse code via laptop lid.

Great HackADay article about learning morse code. Not new, but I just found it...

@inanedirk this could be fun for a few hours, especially if there was a big beautiful world to walk around, a way to kinda herd people into a group, and a bonus for group size who exclaim all at once.
