As expected, this article is frustratingly devoid of detail.

The flaws identified do not concern a cryptographic standard currently in use today, which means that modern banking and communication systems are not subject to immediate potential intrusions from A.I. Instead, Anthropic’s technology cracked a watered-down version of an algorithm for Advanced Encryption Standard, or A.E.S., a ubiquitous protocol that safeguards web traffic, wireless networks, data storage and more.

So what does that mean, that it was unleashed at AES-ECB?

“Given that we are constantly underestimating the power and time of availability of future models, are we really comfortable that two years from now strong encryption won’t be threatened?” said Glenn S. Gerstell, the former general counsel at the National Security Agency.

“Mathematicians would tell you that it shouldn’t be possible given current computing powers to break strong encryption in any meaningful time,” added Mr. Gerstell, who helped write a report on cryptology in 2022. “But I don’t think the capabilities of future models in the medium term — before quantum computing or quantum-proof cryptography — should be dismissed as trivial in this context.”

What a load of horse hockey.

It took me an evening to get my initial Hyprland config working, then about a week of tweaking before I was truly happy with it. That sounds like a lot of work, and honestly, it was, but it also doesn’t have to be work I repeat every time I install Linux. Now that the core setup was dialed in, I can copy my Hyprland config, keep related dotfiles for tools like Waybar, Wofi, my terminal, and notifications in one place, and bring most of that desktop with me to the next machine. I’ll still need to adjust hardware-specific details like monitor names, scaling, and input settings, but the hard part is already done.

Yeah that sounds like something I might have done 30 years ago, at around the same time I hand-compiled mplayer and all of its dependencies to be “just right”. When I manually adjusted the kernel config for my desktop PC and patiently waited 45 minutes for the kernel to finish compiling. Back when I gave a shit about getting the “optimimum”.

My name is Lars Wirzenius, and I was there when Linux started.

RSH, or more likely telnet, not SSH.

The OS is just way more transparent and communicative in a way that facilitates learning (once you learn the basics of how to communicate with it, such as not being terrified of the terminal)

I could not agree more. Linux is not perfect in any way, but at least it tells you what the problem is. Windows? Oh sure, you can probably get that information somehow, somewhere, in some event log that is only recorded if you sacrifice a chicken at midnight and dance around a campfire on one foot.

I play all kinds of games and they just work. Sometimes you have to adjust the settings a bit, but to be honest, that is rarely the case. At first I had problems because I wanted mod support for Cyberpunk 2077 and I tried to get the Nexus apps to work (any of them) and it just would not work. But then, someone suggested the native Linux app Limo which works very well for me for installing and administrating mods. For installing and starting the games, I used to use Lutris a long time ago, but now I rely on Heroic Games Launcher, and unlike Lutris, it has not let me down so far.

I use Bazzite btw.

This follows a rather familar pattern of right wing behaviour:

• do something terrible to someone else
• lie about it and say the victim is doing the very same thing to you (projection)
• declare yourself the victim and the real victims the “bad guys”

In other words, no. It is pure bullshit, and I very much doubt it even exists.

Now, hatred of right wing assholes / nazis / republicans? That is real.

That looks very promising, thanks for the link!

Hahahaha… go fuck yourself, you miserable thief

That would be my main argument as well - if it had been faked, the Soviets would have known and cried foul.

And all that so big tech can spy on you better.

You will not get smart by delegating away your thinking.

I think anyone forced to use Windows 11 in 2026 already knows that. Although there the term “run” is stretched to the limit.

Soooo… let’s clone it and see what happens!

Sounds like RokChip really needed to put their hand on that hot stove top to understand they’d get burned. Hope they learn their lesson and improve their handling of FOSS code in the future.

That’s right, reject science, accept stupidity.

Next up: Pray the math away.

Not what I said at all. I said the few limitations I know of do not matter for 99% of what I would want to do, meaning there are a few use cases I can think of (and that I had in the past) where X11 offered something Wayland does not, but they are such corner cases that for all intents and purposes, they do not matter.

Did really not expect such a passive agressive response for that…
