I remember a few years ago when I was at school still the IT groups were named after computicians like babbage and turing
his statue in manchester. he killed himself two years after being convicted of gross indecency (basically being gay) in ~1954 and as such is seen as one of the biggest LGBT figures in computing.,

Christmas is forever
Start a cult
no plz
A walrus touched me.
he invented the machine that cracked the enigma code, which the germans used to encrypt their messages during WW2, shortening it by a significant margin.
good movie
he's seen as the father of the modern computer.
Too bad he was gay
Guess he had to kill himself or something
He killed himself because he was being charged with being gay now is a big player in the LGBT huh
someone mention Turing?
guess he missed huh
I am a cool boi
@AstroTorch I was making lolfire cry with pictures of turing memorials dressed up for pride parades and such.
They still call it the "turing test", probably the most important piece of logic for humankind
injected cyanide into an apple an ate it
absolutely tragic
cool
Oof
@lolfire they named it such after a quote from him: *"I propose to consider the question, 'Can machines think?'"*
*You could say he ate the forbidden apple*
he became dead not self concious
I'll leave
Turning was probably the most influential *single* figure in winning the war tbh
aye
Absolute crime what was done to him
@AstroTorch seen the film aye?
