Yes, it is. ed25519 depends upon discrete log for its security, which Shor's algorithm can (theoretically, of course, not like it's ever been done) efficiently solve.

The post-quantum algorithms are in active research right now. I don't blame anyone for avoiding those at least until we've quantum computers big enough to solve baby toy elliptic curves.

JXL is not proprietary. It's an open, royalty-free format whose reference implementation is BSD-licensed.

This is a truly impressively terrible summary. I mean just the fact that the second word is "then" is something to behold. But then the second paragraph switches perspective without any warning so nobody has any idea who "you" refers to.

Also, I mean, the fact that it literally cut out everything that happened.

Honestly, a colour picker is the last piece of software you should be translating names for. Even everyday colour names don't have a direct translation. The line between "blue" and "green" is very slightly different than the line between "bleu" and "vert", and the same goes for any other two languages. If you're serious about your colour picker accuracy and you want to localize to another language, it would actually be more correct to have a completely different set of colour values, rather than trying to translate them. (Though "Liquid Nyquil" may be perceived the same across languages. I haven't seen any studies on that one)

Wait, I don't see that in the article. Who's he suing now?

I, too, am curious if there's an advertising bubble. I hope so.

I've noticed something about my wife, though. She's not a "mindless capitalist zombie with the sole goal of owning more stuff", but she does pay attention to advertising a lot. We need more diapers? Well, it just so happens there's some new startup app that's advertising a free first month, so if she signs up for that up, we could get free diapers, and we'd only have to keep the membership for another two months, and they have deals on peanut butter, and we'd get access to their free streaming service and they have Disney, so it's probably worth it overall.

And so it goes, with a million of these deals. The thing is, each "deal" is so complicated that it's extremely difficult to know which ones we're actually saving money on. The cynical would say "you're never saving money: everything's rigged", but that's clearly not true. Some of these deals clearly do work out for us (and some of them cause the startup to immediately go bankrupt). But most of them aren't clearly better or worse for us: we'd have to spend several hours going through hypothetical scenarios to do the full CBA, which we don't do.

I do wonder, on balance, how much it's costing us. I also wonder how many of these deals are specifically (personally) targeted at my wife because they know what she needs and what her habits are.

They didn't "try": they did change the licence. From BSD+Patents to MIT. Hardly scandalous.

This is my one gripe with Debian's installer. I don't mind it setting defaults like 27G for / and 10G or whatever for /tmp. But I don't like that you can't stop it from allocating the entire volume. If it left a few hundred GB unallocated, then it would be trivial to expand whichever one you realize you need to expand later on.

As it is, if you want to give more room to one partition or another later on, you have to shrink /home first. If /home is ext4, that's inconvenient. If it's XFS, though, it's a nightmare.

It wasn't even doing that. The translation was happening any time someone put the word/flag "Palestine" in their profile with the phrase "praise be to God". There didn't even any protest or any mention of the war.

Many don't know about DuckDuckGo and even more don't care.

I should say that DuckDuckGo is generally much more strongly censored and controlled than Google. This won't affect people in say, the US. But in many places around the world (like my country of South Korea), using DuckDuckGo is not realistic as a daily driver without using a VPN or making heavy use of the "!g" bang to fall back to Google (which doesn't blanket censor words). Overall it makes it less accessible.

And I know, part of the reason people use DuckDuckGo in the first place is to avoid region-aware results. But that does not change their censorship policies.

I had a similar situation.

I had an old laser printer that was officially unsupported on OS X. Meaning that they had a driver for OS X for a similar model, but not exactly the same model, that supposedly worked for it, but they deliberately did not let you use it with my model of printer. Found some crazy instructions online that told you to install the drivers, then change the driver with a hex editor to force it to recognize your printer as a different model. It worked, occasionally, intermittently. I spend like half a week trying to get it to work under OS X and it just wouldn't work reliably.

Tried a Windows computer. Wasted half a day installing a driver, uninstalling a driver, plugging in, unplugging, turning on, turning off, but it just couldn't recognize it.

Booted into Linux and hit "print" and it worked perfectly. Didn't even need to install a driver.
