@thsottiaux I would love to have a way to always see my usage. Sure not everyone may want to see it all the time but some user may… I get frustrated to click on my name then usage remaining, then I click outside and it closes…
a masterclass in how to PR:
- accept near-but-not-yet-realized future as fact (post-quantum! very scary. almost here! we're not ready.)
- muddle qualifiers for ambiguous attribution (most widely used cipher: AES, reduced AES tho? not the same, but it sure sounds the same!)
- immediately talk about cybercriminals and BILLIONS of people impacted (like, the entire world!)
- go back to quantum computers, but at least add the modifier "if developed" (tyvm!)
- clarify that a weaker variant was studied, where the 200-800x faster attack result was attained (what's the baseline? what does 200-800x mean for this Unused Weaker Research Variant? doesn't matter, you just have to imagine the next breakthrough happening, like without exponentially more resources or anything, get with the program!)
still, if this is what it takes to get more people interested in cryptography, just like everyone is now interested in maths, it's probably a Good Thing!
