A bunch of people got away with the Panama Papers stuff because of chain of custody shenanigans.

Voting on Lemmy isn't private (and is probably for sale on closed platforms) so just upvoting an opinion might be enough to get you on some lists.

It should have, but I was thinking about the contents instead: loopback is ::1 so it's not that, so maybe it's just something with 4 of a-f (technically correct)

How long until someone makes a playable version of this? (printer toner is too expensive)

Edit: actually, I can probably do this one in my head

Thunderbird on desktop, although I don't love it.

FairEmail on Android.

If I remember correctly, in Light & Magic they talk about how they came up with the design of the M.Falcon (and George Lucas wasn't much involved). In fact, let me check... Ah ha:

Johnston was also tasked with redesigning the Falcon when the original design was deemed too similar to another ship on television. Under pressure and mentally blocked, Johnston was sitting in the kitchen when he spotted plates on the counter. He imagined sandwiching two together like hamburger buns to create a saucer-like ship. The Millennium Falcon started to take shape.

The carbonite thing feels like more of a straightforward copy, though.

If there is anything I know about technology, it's that moving everything to The Cloud is the current trend.

Currently it's shoehorning AI into everything, surely?

But good stuff, always nice to see pointless bad ideas proved possible!

I'm talking about people downvoting from all - if you're seeing content from some niche or geographic community because you're viewing all then downvoting something you're not interested in is a dick move.

I guess it's the King's English now. I'm always careful to avoid spelling things the US way, because as a programmer there's some things (yup, like color) that I type more often in the US version than international English and muscle memory's a sticky bugger.

fyi, you mean courtesy - curtesy is an old legal term.
