Don't ask to ask, just ask.

Headline is wrong. "Quantum cryptography" does not mean the same thing as post-quantum cryptography (PQC) which is what the UK NCSC is recommending.

Why is Cloudflare monitoring/recording our passwords on the sites they are supposed to be protecting?

It was a while ago that I compared them so this may have changed, but one of the main differences that I saw was that borg had to backup over ssh, while restic had a storage backend for many different storage methods and APIs.

I'm claiming that the article is wrong and you're quoting the article at me? Yes I know what the article says because I read it, and then researched the vulnerability.

The CVE is: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-27564

Which was described in an issue in GitHub here: https://github.com/dirk1983/chatgpt/issues/114

Which relates to this GitHub repository: https://github.com/dirk1983/chatgpt/

Which is by github user dirk1983, and if you read (translate) the readme, you will see that it's a ChatGPT front-end written by this user, not anything officially released by OpenAI.

The confusion comes from the fact that his repository (this front-end with the vulnerability) is just called "ChatGPT", and neither the journalist nor you did this basic search to find that out.

AFAICT this is not the OpenAI web interface, it's just a third-party web interface for ChatGPT that calls the OpenAI API and the author of this web interface called it just "ChatGPT".

Presumably the author of this article is incapable of actually doing the 2 minutes of research necessary to identify that this is not an official ChatGPT codebase that contains the vulnerability.

"hackreadcom" ? Written by a hack, more like.

apparently something in Firefox broke and disabled all my plugins because they can’t be verified

This sounds like the root certificate expiry that just happened. You need to update Firefox to get the updated root certificate.

What about murdering and dismembering a journalist in a foreign country, is that immoral?

I've been using it for just over 6 months and it's perfectly fine as a desktop distribution. I'm enjoying that it's based on Debian Sid and I get a more up to date GNOME release than I would have with Ubuntu or Debian. The update process is a bit slow but you can just leave it downloading in the background and then reboot when it's ready. If you know that you want an immutable desktop distro based on Debian then I would definitely recommend it.

If you're using it for development then it's a bit more complicated as you'll need to get used to working in a distrobox container and understanding when it can and can't access the host system or communicate with programs running on the host system.

If you have the time and basic understanding to be able to switch your dev workflow to run inside a container, or if your dev environment never needs to interact with the base system that you're running it on, then it's perfectly usable for dev work - just a bit of a learning curve.

Edit: it fixed itself after the third page reload

Oh I remember this guy. Is he still a KDE developer?

Missing the most important spec for me: weight

There can't be much brain there to rot if it's still using Microsoft products.

Was Eminem preaching hate against schoolchildren?

No, Lynx is a text-only web browser that runs in the terminal.

special CSS styling so you can’t avoid seeing it

you can't set your client to plain-text only?

If you follow the instructions for backup/restore of your profile that should work.

The touch screen in my 2013 laptop has been working fine since... 2013, running only Debian and Debian-derivatives.
