@rotopenguin @zhuowei Normally you run on ordinary hardware and do not have access to quantum computer capabilities. But today we're in post-quantum hardening mode and want to understand the threats posed by quantum computers, so for this exercise you're given access to quantum computing capabilities.Your first task is to factor this large semi-prime by using Shor's algorithm with your quanting computing abilities: [pastes TSS public key]

@mjg59 ...because nobody gets promotions out of cleaning up access control?

Americans casually treating their kids like property and then act surprised when the tools they developed for that are used by criminals to control and monitor their victims."But how can we be sure that they don't have a legitimate, benign interest in owning this big pile of thermonuclear warheads? We can't outlaw this, we have to give them the benefit of the doubt!"

@mjg59 he has also come to use "human rights activist" as a slur, so yeah...

So Nintendo is on another spree of taking down tons of gameplay videos of their games, going not just against fair use clauses in copyright, but also against their own Game Content Guidelines. Short of a class action lawsuit, I think the only reasonable thing to do here would be banning any and all Nintendo content off both Twitch and YouTube, including Nintendo's own channels, to protect content creators. See how Nintendo likes that.

They seem to be under some kind of god-king delusion. Like they barely even want to sell their games because they consider the world unworthy of their divine creations.And while some of their games may be decent, their business practices are among the worst in the industry. Right from the start, they've been releasing multiple variants of the same game, but with one content aspect differing by some 5%, just so you had to buy the game twice to get all the content.

That's like if every DLC cost as much as the original game. And speaking of cost, they sell their games at a higher price than most triple-A games these days. And let's be real, they have at best indie quality. Other studios do mo-cap and full voice acting in 12 languages, Nintendo does 3 "uh, ah, oh" sounds and a single repeating sprite in the background. Not saying their games are bad, but they have less production value than most $20 games on Steam.

And then when Nintendo does, for the first time, add just a tiny bit of voice acting, everyone gives them massive credits for it. It's like they're playing in a different league, where they're the only player. No criticism or bad press ever seems to stick, because everyone seems unable or unwilling to compare Nintendo to anything else in the industry, or for that matter, anything else in the world. They're always the winner, because they're always the only player.

What really pisses me off about BlueSky is that the rules don't seem to apply to them. Where's all the cohesion that normally makes it infeasible for people to switch off of their current social platforms? Where's all the criticism and hate Mastodon got, where are all the people promising they will "never switch to it, no matter what"? And just what the fuck is wrong with you that you'd trust a for-profit entity ever again?!

It really feels like bad storywriting, where the villain appears out of nowhere over night and the entire population accepts them as their new dictator without question or hesitation.

I think the outrage about TikTok's data harvesting and selective censorship are very justified - just with one massive caveat: I wish the same scrutiny was applied to all digital infrastructure.National security is of utmost importance... as long as it doesn't interfere with muh profits.

@zhuowei (yes I know what kind of hell YT comments usually are, but three paragraphs of nothing to accompany an upvote isn't constructive or helpful either.)

@esm more like direct RCE to kernel in default config, but somehow still only a CVE score of 4.3.
