I hope you didn’t literally use XOR
It's XOR(key, block) with IV and chaining: https://github.com/RommieEcho/qrcatalyst-open/blob/main/src/routes/anon/XORCipher.js
Since it's chained at the byte level, you can strip it out by just XORing each byte against all following bytes. Then the IV can be XORed out of the first block, at which point you have just a series of XOR(key, plaintext) blocks that can be attacked with conventional methods.
Isn't that a classic corporate raid technique? Sell the company's assets to you or an organization you control, then lease them back to the original owners.
This isn't just about teens - the article shows that every age under 45 is less happy, and - excluding a brief bump in the late 20s - people just keep getting unhappy as they get older. There's no "it gets better" age to look forward to.

yeah, don't use this app.
I have concerns about this site, tbh. I can't find anything overtly wrong, but a few things stand out:
It could just be my paranoia speaking, but I'd advise against using this. It feels like a honeypot or some kind of trap.
That's not entirely true. Practice is important, but homework actually has a negative impact on learning: https://hachyderm.io/@Impossible_PhD/112969358305278574
In my experience, the larger threadiverse instances have gradually collected the worst ex-redditors, who have brought the worst of reddit's culture. I'm unfortunately not surprised that lemmy.world has queerphobic mods, given how the users behave. 😕
My product manager is doing the opposite - pushing us to replace "bandwidth" and "effort" with "time". We're now expected to provide an accurate hour estimate for all work items, projects, and bugs. Getting it done later or sooner is penalized on the metrics.
Thanks for the reminder! I almost forgot to set up my repo. 🤦♀️ I'll be publishing my solutions on GitHub for anyone interested. This year I finally got around to restructuring things to keep the input files out of git, so I won't have to feel guilty about leaking the problem inputs.
I agree that this is nothing to panic over, but I want to clarify that Lemmy is not safe from this. Lemmy and Mastodon both use the same protocol (ActivityPub) and that's also the protocol that Threads will use to federate. Just as Mastodon users can like, boost, and reply to Lemmy threads / comments, Threads users will be able to do the same. That's why it's important to defederate Threads on all ActivityPub-enabled instances.
it’s all people getting mad on behalf of their instances when everybody behind the scenes is chill and understands!
I think that's becoming A Thing ™️ on the fediverse recently. I've seen this exact scenario play out on the microblogging side more than once.
This is very much not true in some domains, like software development. Code is much harder to read than it is to write, so verifying the output of a coding AI usually takes more time (or at least more cognitive effort) than if you'd just written the code yourself.
