       @kmj Was sorgt dafür, dass Signal (welches auch massiv professionell eingesetzt wird und damit besonders exponiert ist) verschont bleibt, Telegram (betrieben von einem finsteren Exilrussen in Nahost, der selbst vor Putin keinen Respekt hat) hingegen nicht?

       @stux Add Florida's book bans to that, so students cannot legally read about the Shoah even if they want to (AFAIK Spiegelman's "Mouse" is prohibited).

       @mo @nano Now imagine a buggy charger being subbier than the phone. You plug it in and the phone charges the power grid.

       @DXMacGuffin @48kRAM The turdballs aren't those who made the cookie popup laws, but those who use cookies. The popups are an inconvenient, incomplete way to protect oneself against cookies.

       @DXMacGuffin @48kRAM Only most sites use cookies, not all. The cookies which are needed e.g. for remembering login data on webshops across pages, fontsize preferences etc. are not subject to the law[1], it is sufficient to mention that these are used. All other cookies are used against the user, and except for purposes like mentioned above there are no "necessary" cookies, particularly not for sites whose purpose is just reading texts.There is a very simple test to see if a cookie (or many thereof) is necessary: open the site and use it, allow or disallow cookies to your taste. Then look what cookies have been set. Then delete all cookies, close the browser, restart it and visit the site again. If it works flawlessly, all previously set cookies were useless or even harmful. If the page asks who you are and appears in a tiny white font on black background, you've deleted a necessary cookie (but I believe websites tend to store such preferences on their own server, so users don't have to change color and font on each device again).[1] https://wikis.ec.europa.eu/display/WEBGUIDE/04.+Cookies+and+similar+technologies

       @slashdot I'm wondering for several reasons:the crypto algorithms should take microseconds or maybe a millisecond, how is that visible at 60 Hz?All crypto algorithm designers put a lot of work into making running time and power consumption independent of the data values (that's one of the reasons for the use of Edwards coordinates in ECC).
