Huh? My post? It's not.

Oh, sorry.

Feb 1: receive monthly paycheck Feb 2: spend all of it on strippers/drugs/alcohol/twinkies/etc. Feb 3: I'm hungry.

Unless you are prepared to let the wagies starve to death, wages will never work.

Or to put it in less sarcastic terms: Why would UBI payments be more likely to be squandered than any other monthly payments? Especially by people who can't afford food without it. Are there any studies that show such behavior?

WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption has been independently investigated: https://kclpure.kcl.ac.uk/ws/files/324396471/whatsapp.pdf

Full version here: https://eprint.iacr.org/2025/794.pdf

We didn't review the entire source code, only the cryptographic core. That said, the main issue we found was that the WhatsApp servers ultimately decide who is and isn't in a particular chat. Dan Goodin wrote about it here: https://arstechnica.com/security/2025/05/whatsapp-provides-n...

Thank you for actually evaluating the technology as implemented instead of speculating wildly about what Facebook can do based on vibes.

Have you tried it?
some_furry · 11 days ago
We're talking about symmetric ciphers and you're talking about password cracking software.

Triple-DES has 168 bit keys. Even if you use a meet-in-the-middle attack, your attack cost has an exponent of 112 (with an associated memory cost with an exponent of 88).

That's not practically exploitable today.

If you think I'm wrong, here's a single block message encrypted with 3DES, then hex-encoded. Have fun:

But really, the bigger problem is Sweet32.

some_furry commented on Mozilla is building an AI 'rebel alliance' to take on OpenAI, Anthropic   cnbc.com/2026/01/27/mozil... · Posted by u/donutshop

Growing and investing in Firefox remains our biggest priority. Mozilla Corporation’s leading aim is to grow as a meaningful, differentiated browser, trusted by over 200mil people. In 2025 the team made great progress shipping tab groups, vertical tabs, smart tabs, many sidebar integrations with AI companies and more. Mozilla Corp welcomed Anthony Enzor-DeMeo, the first technologist to serve as CEO in over 15 years. In 2026 there will be a focus on building tools and features for those who want AI, and for those who do not. We are the only browser who does this - and likely the only one that will.[1]

I don't want any AI features to exist in the Firefox source code, since this increases Firefox's attack surface for no real gain to the product I want to use. The AI-enabled browser should be a separate product line for people who want that.

How about building a better AI-free browser first, Mozilla?

Is that too much to ask for?

The person you're replying to is probably not personally a major AI magnate.
some_furry · 12 days ago
No, but the attitude is congruent, even if they don't have the investment money lying around to fill the shoes exactly.
