Would be funny.
But we should keep in mind the reason for this is the usage of ECDSA in the transaction signature scheme.
The same system that we use every day when using HTTPS and other encrypted services.
Alternatives already exist. So switching is possible (likely for cryptobros as well)

I saw the fundraiser a while ago.
So sad that despite the efforts she didn't make it.

Afaik it's a variation of Shor's algorithm (we only covered it briefly in cryptography class, so I'm not 100% certain).
But to my knowledge certain parts of the hidden subgroup problem, which discrete logarithm and prime factorization are a part of, are solvable by quantum computers.

Afaik there are proposals to make elliptic curve algorithms quantum safe but the current ones (ECDSA and ECDH) are still relying on the prime factorization and discrete logarithm problems under the hood making them vulnerable to quantum attacks.

Whether Grover's algorithm would be realistic is debated.
It takes some significant setup time and q-computers are likely going to be slower per operation. So in reality brute forcing with this algorithm might not yield any significant benefit.

The SHA-256 based PoW algorithm is not really vulnerable (Grover's algorithm can optimize it but not entirely break it) but it's reliance on ECDSA for transaction signatures can be broken, unless it's replaced with a suitable quantum proof alternative.

In addition the algorithms that can be broken by quantum computers are slowly replaced.
There are new ones that use a different math problem that quantum computers can't break.

While there is a potential algorithm that can speed up the breaking of hash & symmetric algorithms it requires a insane amount of ideal QBits which is hard to reach and even then it can only half the search space (like 256bit -> 128bit which is still considered unbreakable)

Quantum Computers can break current asymmetric cryptography (the type that uses different keys for en/decryption) and some algorithms based on the same principle of prime factorization (Such as the DH key exchange algorithm).
Hash algorithms and Symmetric algorithms are secure for the most part.

as a condition of funding, we were asked to affirm that we wouldn’t undertake any diversity, equity, and inclusion work, whether or not we used the government funds to do so. The PSF simply couldn’t agree to that statement,

Also while the EU has previously been against it this piece of legislation has been in the talks for a while now and keeps resurfacing.
The strong support for this proposal by member states is also worrying in that the EU might change it's stance.

And that's good.
The issue is that this proposal was made by Peter Hummelgaard who opposes this stance. Thinking that this form of monitoring leads to "more security".
Just for that reason alone this proposal should have never been a discussion point to begin with.

By taking away the oversight of a judge and let the executive read messages based on the output of a flawed automated system the separation of powers is also weakened.
In addition those automated systems will be built by Tech Giants allowing them to basically become the judge.

The aim is for the privacy which is codified in article 7 of the European Convention on Human Right.
Insight into private communication is usually only allowed with enough justification, by breaking it through automated scanning on everyone's device it it would break "innocence until proven guilty"

How does this look like a "proxy campaign".
The heaviest hits would be taken by open source projects like PGP, Matrix, Signal etc. that aren't controlled by giant Tech corpos. Google especially already implemented it in GMail voluntarily.

I understand English and German well enough to watch videos. I can't turn off the English -> German translation (despite YT being set to English) and it sucks as the AI dub is very emotionless and I would rather listen to the original if I can understand it yet YT doesn't care what I understand.

Just as a hint, if you are looking for a word that was said you can open the video description, show the transcript and search through the transcript like any other text.

I've now counted around 24 instances of that occurring on /r/softwaregore (www.reddit.com/r/softwarego...).
Seems to be a general issue either at Microsoft or their weather data provider. It also happens all over Europe (at the minimum I've not located every occurrence)
