Kraken, also by Mièville, is also somewhat of a match; as well as Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.

Thank you !

I stand corrected, that does look close to noscript’s feature, thanks !

Though I don’t know if it has a “whitelist mode” (all JS disabled by default everywhere but content still fetched) like the default noscript has.

uBlock Origin does not block javascript execution depending on the domain. They do not serve the same purpose.

noscript is essential security-wise IMO

Interesting, I assumed they would all shed like my two little bastards

Those cakes will end up with cat hair in them.

It’s the birthday of the one sitting down on the ground

They all surprised him, you can tell by his face

A wholesome thing sounds like:

The theme is Fairy Tales, so feel free to wear a crown. Everyone’s prom king and queen here! Semi-formal/Formal is recommended, but not required. There will be a DJ, free snacks, and a mini Instax photo booth. This event is free and open to high school students up to age 18 only. If your parents insist on attending, they will be banished to the library lobby. No younger/older siblings or friends. The door closes at 8:30 p.m. Once you leave the building, you will not be permitted back in. The Teen Anti Prom is a safe space for you to dance (or not) the night away, no matter your sexuality, gender identity, beliefs, or any other reason.

There is an answer but you’ll probably only manage to get it by going through semiconductor devices history and determining the hardware required at each improvement step, and the cost and acquirability of that hardware. This would take hours - potentially days - of research.

A quick search yielded this blog post though of someone attempting - and managing - production of a basic 1200-transistors semiconductor device in their garage, which I found rather neat. That’s with no cleanroom, and with chemicals the purity of which are far removed from the ones the industry uses.

What you wrote is science fiction, not fact. So are practical quantum computers, thus far.

It also ignores the fact that quantum computing would do shit all against symmetric encryption (though admittedly that’s less relevant for whatsapp, but it’s perfectly relevant if you want to exchange secure messages with someone you met physically prior); as well as the fact quantum-resistant encryption algorithms such as NTRU already exist and are already considered for implementation in free software tools (the only reason they aren’t is they’re far less tested and nobody trusts them yet against conventional attacks).

Governments, if they want, can decrypt any chat

This is not true. Encryption that is not breakable by anyone - including governments - and the tools to use it have been available to everyone for decades now.

It might be broken later (which is why the US stores encrypted messages) but not right now, and is unlikely to be in the foreseeable future.

I meant sapient and yes, SF writers are to blame

who are not afraid to make actual change in the world they want to see, whatever it takes

And do it at sometimes great risk to themselves, regularly

utterly ineffective at actually meaningfully changing the mass cruelty of the meat industry.

There should be no “meat industry” at all you despicable fucking ghoul

“fundamentally not so bad” ? you morally bankrupt imbecile, go watch Dominion

Stop murdering and eating sentient beings

PETA “shelters” have a higher kill (euthanasia) rate than any other organization.

Close to a million cows are murdered daily (not to mention pigs, ducks, etc.) - almost universally after a life of torture or soon after birth - but yeah, sure, shelters kill more, makes total sense

Since you obviously feel guilty (consciously or not) but do not seem to have the basic morality to stop profiting from the mass torture and killing of sentient beings for your personal pleasure, at least have the decency to keep quiet about it instead of trying to jump through logical hoops justifying yourself

The stuff you posted includes what is basically NATO propaganda, which is why it got so much reactions (and admittedly not all of them constructive - again, no downvotes here). Don’t take my word for it, take the CIA’s word for it for example (or any number of a hundred - far better argued and sourced than mine - answers in the very thread you linked). The “Tiananmen Square massacre” as usually described in Western sources is not something that actually occurred.

Eh, maybe you’re right, but I was getting dogpiled

We don’t have downvotes on our instance. When we disagree or think a comment adds nothing, we tend to respond.

That’s why you got so many answers, which you describe as “dogpiling”. If you want to defend your position, responding to only one of those is perfectly fine.

Also for fuck’s sake:

I don’t think I even encountered this much toxicity on reddit, this is ridiculous

Nobody was toxic with you in this thread, nothing beyond being a bit harsh-toned. Reddit is far much worse. Again, probably you felt like that because of the sheer amount of answers you got.

The other day, I hate a post that said something about China/Tiananmen Square, and had so many comments complaining

Got a link ? because I suspect the comments in answer to you were not just “complaining” but were also argued and provided information.

Downloading mp3s and tagging them, the way grandpa intended

If you answer at least try to address the point
