Divorced :(

Well I know these people and they’re great plus they’re married now :)

You’re right, I had it wrong. Misinformation deleted.

You’re right that light is not “a wave and a particle depending on whether you observe it”. Instead, light is a quantized field. It is a field because it exists at every point and allows for wave-like behavior such as superposition and interference (both things seen in all fields, like waves in water or radio, etc.). But it is quantized because when the field interacts it does so via photons which can only exist in integer quantities. This quantization of interaction of the underlying continuous field gives us all the “weirdness” we see. Okay, not quite all of it, there are still even weirder parts of quantum mechanics, but it does explain the double slit experiment.

Measured boot requires secure boot to be enabled as one of its components.

The real value of measured boot is when paired with full disk encryption as it protects against boot loader attacks that can compromise your sealed keys.

Ahkshually that would be the K’Chain Nah’ruk, not the Che’Malle

Only if they aren’t using customer provided encryption keys (is using blob/bucket storage) or an equivalent approach to encryption at rest, and make sure they’re doing standard TLS for encryption in flight.

It’s absolutely possible, and standard for any decent organization, to build their cloud architectures to fully account for the cloud provider potentially accessing your data without authorization. I’ve personally had such design conversations multiple times.

Yes, ICE, the 22 year old agency is definitely something the US can’t do without. Certainly didn’t manage fine without it for the vast majority of our history as a country. Fucking hell.

Brother Ali don’t miss

Yup, because that’s how adjectives work

The real complaint is people who refer to women as “females” which makes them sound like ferengi. Saying a “female engineer” is just correct grammar. Some folks have instead, lacking a capacity for nuance (and language) taken this to mean that there is an issue with the word “female” in general.

crazy people need dick too

There are literally dozens of us!

That’s my understanding as well, with some “Roman” origin claimed, possibly as propaganda given how the Nazi party liked connecting themselves to ancient Rome as some kind of claim to legitimacy.

I’d love to be able to add the Bellamy salute inspiration bit in when I do have this conversation with folks, but I’d need a better source before I do.

Zero argument on the larger point of Hitler’s idolization of America (the worst bits), quite familiar with it already. Hitler also admired Jim Crow laws and wrote about them specifically.

My point is that I’ve never encountered a reliable source to the specific claim that the Nazi salute took inspiration from the Bellamy salute, rather than being coincidentally similar. The wiki page linked even purports the origin of the Nazi salute to be the “Roman salute”, albeit itself based on bad history.

It’s a point I’d love to be able to make when having this same argument with folks, but I’m not going to tell people that the Nazi salute was based on the Bellamy salute without a better source than a Wikipedia article that claims otherwise.

Your link does not support your claim

Later, during the 1920s and 1930s, Italian fascists and Nazi Germans adopted a salute which was very similar, which originated with the so-called Roman salute, a gesture falsely attributed to ancient Rome.

Do you know of any other accounts that would support the Bellamy salute as being the inspiration for the Nazi salute, apart from looking similar?

Well I suppose you could always whine about it online instead?

It costs you nothing to register as a Dem so you can vote against these fuckers in the primaries, except maybe some worthless sense of idealogical purity.
