Not to disregard Turing here as I believe he is still one of the greats of computing, but the idea that he "Almost Singlehandedly" did anything is to the discredit of the thousands of workers at Bletchley Park alongside him, and the Polish cryptographers who initially cracked several versions of Enigma in the 1930s and went on to teach the Bletchley how they did it.

As per my comment to the above post, this is incorrect, the value of support sent by the US to Ukraine is around $88 billion, however this number is deceptive as a large percentage of it is not direct dollars sent, rather dollar value in equipment, of which the majority was already sitting in boneyards and stockpiles waiting to be decomissioned some years later. This equipment has already been replaced in active duty by newer models or different systems. Another component, USAI (Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative), is where the US alots a certain amount of money that Ukraine can use to purchase equipment from US manufacturers, albeit at domestic rather than export rates. Therefore, it re-enters the economy, and the difference is somewhat reduced.

*kettle, honestly forget it's not a global thing. How much does one set you back? We can get one for like £5 in the uk?
Converted recently and happy to find that all but one (relatively niche, command: modern operations) game I played work on linux out of the box. Decided that I'd rather claw back control over my computer and switch rather than have a single game working. Haven't looked back since. Check your library in protondb, it may surprise you.
Anyone got an invite code?
Took the plunge and swapped my desktop over to NIXOS a couple days ago, honeslty fairly impressed with the experience so far
100% agree, "girlfriend" or "boyfriend" just sounds childish imo, I prefer the word associations of "partner" too, like you're equals
I'm from the UK and this isn't too much of an issue beyond the couple of usual idiots. Went to the US though and it was insane, we were getting overtaken by school busses going 95. We were at the speed limit and getting overtaken by almost everything.
It's fine! We're gods!
