Even then, for cloud storage; cryptography is an additional layer of protection, but all this data should be kept offline as much as reasonably possible.

It’s a feature when you use it, but a bug when your competitors do it.

If I were in charge of the defence department of a government, there’s no way I’d ever allow closed source software to even touch machines with sensitive data. Or even pre-compiled software. Because the problem is not what you see, like personnel; it’s what you don’t, like bribery and backdoors.

Let alone use “cloud” computing. Come on… it’s someone else’s computer.

No such thing as far as I know.

LPT: good cops are actually hired every year, in a specific date. Bastards in the other days.

That date is the 30th of February, by the way.

Seafood with lots and lots of grating cheese.

Thanks! Glad it was enjoyable.

I know a few in Portuguese. Most of them are… well, bad. Dad joke tier*.

P: Por que chama-se “umbigo”? R: Porque só tem um. Se tivesse dois, seria “doisbigo”.
Q: Why is it called “belly button” (umbigo)? A: Because you only got one (um); if you got two (dois), it would be [non-existent word, roughly “belly buttwo”].

P: Que palavra com oito letras continua tendo oito depois de tirar quatro? A: “Biscoito”.
Q: Which eight-letters word still has eight (oito) after you remove four letters? A: “Biscoito” (biscuit or cookie, depending on dialect).

P: Por que o três e o sete não se casam? A: Porque são primos.
Q: Why don’t the three and the seven marry? A: Because they’re cousins / primes (both “primos”).

• Toc, toc. Knock knock
• Quem é? Who’s it?
• Vinte. Twenty.
• Que vinte? Twenty what?
• Vim te dizer para abrir a porta. I came tell you to open the door.

Note: “vinte” /vĩte/ = twenty; “vim te” /vĩ te/ = “I came” + “you” (object).

*they’re locally known as “piadinhas do tio do pavê” (layer cake’s uncle’s jokes). The name is also based on wordplay, albeit it doesn’t involve numbers:

• [Someone] Fiz pavê! I made some layer cake!
• [Someone else] É pavê ou para comer? Is it [a layer cake / to see it], or to eat it?

It relies on “pavê” /pa’ve/ (layer cake) being homophone with “para ver” /paɾa 'veɾ/~/pa’ve/ (to see), depending on how you pronounce the later.

Following quantitative logic, his Thomasness decreases with each part being replaced.

I must admit I never read Ariosto either. I started Orlando Furioso years ago, then dropped it after a few pages (it was uni times and I was burned out with literature).

Zero is a good number, indeed.

Don’t mind me, just fixing the rule:

At those times I’m really glad I prefer my desktop over my phone. When I get up and leave, I’m way less likely to check social media. (Granted, nowadays social media for me is just YouTube and Lemmy, but… you know.)

It’s a great MP3 player though. And gameboy.

Not surprised - Latin “sine” without became a mess in the descendants, that’s why they don’t resemble each other much:

• Portuguese (sem), Sardinian (sine) - plain inheritance
• Spanish (sin) - likely re-borrowed, otherwise it would be *sen
• Catalan (sense), Occitan (sense) and French (sans) - partially mixed “sine” with “absens” (absent, away, missing), so it got a random -s out of nowhere
• Italian (senza) - similar to the above with “absentia” (absence, awayness). -tia → -za is regular in IT.

It wouldn’t help much in this case as ES “sin” /sin/ and PT “sem” /sẽ/ already look quite different from each other.

[Coquettte devil] Lesbian or fascist?

[Kirer] Animated characters I identify myself with, with no apparent reason.

Relevant to note you can apply the same curing and smoking process to pretty much any other meat, not just pork. (I actually prepared beef bacon at home once. It tastes different but equally delicious.)

Bukharin = Luigi; Lassale = Waruigi

Now, WHO’S THE PEACH OF THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL?

I like bread

Ditto. Specially sourdough. A shame I accidentally killed my starter.

I put them slightly below, as even a mindless bot has more deep insights than them.

Ditto. Plus the mindless bot can be sometimes useful.
