  Your signature will never be unique, each time you sign there will be small variations. It’s really not that hard to produce a convincing signature if you have good penmanship, and even easier if it’s a digital scan.

  I’ve owned fountain pens since I was little, and I usually use some deep blue ink that fits the “only black or blue ink” criteria but is particular enough that I am able to tell with confidence if it is or not the ink I was using, and forensic analysis could verifiably tell. The one I’ve used the most oxides into copper colors, I love it so much.

  For digital documents, I use PGP. I don’t care if it’s dorky, if I think I could have the need to demonstrate that I said or was told something at a specific date, I will generate and store a signed version, or attach it to an email as appropriate. I care more about the cryptographic guarantees of digital signatures than the legal guarantees of paper signatures anyway

  Eh. I’m with you on the “nothing is illegal on the internet” stance, but at the same time I think it’s ok to fight against “bad”/dangerous things and make them harder to access. If someone really wants to have an AI lover, let them download a model and write their own system prompt. At least then they would have a better idea of what their “lover” actually is.

  Ah yes, cream and bacon, true staples of genuine Italian cuisine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's put ice in the wine and chocolate in the hummus⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  An americano is indeed an espresso (sometimes double shot) with added hot water. Not Italy specific though, it’s just a different thing than filter coffee - but it’s true that in Italy you can usually get the former but not the latter.

  Some other common coffees: lungo (“long”, an espresso that’s extracted for longer so it’s a bit more “watery”), macchiato (“stained”, an espresso with a bit of milk and foam in it, kinda like an espresso version of a cappuccino), macchiatone (“big macchiato”, halfway between macchiato and cappuccino), corretto (“corrected”, with a tiny bit of liquor, usually grappa or sambuca)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Florida ounces⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As always, just a great unit of measure.

  • Is called “fluid weight”, but is actually a unit of volume. All liquids have the same density right?
  • An “imperial fl.oz.” is ~28.41mL
  • A “US customary fl.oz.” is ~29.57mL
  • A “US food labeling fl.oz.” is 30mL

  Also found out that you have “liquid pints” and “dry pints” as well, for some reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries running live USB Linux on his dad's computer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not strictly a password, it’s a recovery key for the encryption. The drive is unlocked automatically at boot by the key residing in the TPM, if the system “hasn’t been compromised”

  Bitlocker is enabled by default on new Windows installations, and you can run into this situation by resizing partitions or messing around with your EFI partition. Disabling secure boot without disabling bitlocker first will result in this.

  Make sure you have your recovery key, or completely disable bitlocker until you’re done provisioning your system (or uninstall windows altogether)
