“but in the last three years sweeping cuts to social services, healthcare and benefits by Finland’s rightwing government have seen the country’s success story go into reverse”

Classic

In my town, some lefty but also quite a few one nation farmer voters (one nation being australias trumpist party)

Generally surounded by socially liberal / left wing.

Exception is my dad who’s sort of fashy at times, which I do hate him for

My ex and I broke up for a few reasons.

First I think we couldnt handle conflict, in the sense of bringing it up even if it was needed.

Second, we lived far away. This one definitely effected it a lot, as its hard to not see them as a friend u meet up with occasionally.

Third, I came out as trans, so we both made the decision it was best to move on since my ex is straight.

Currently we are just friends, which is for the better.

Energy requirements scale exponentially on a polynomial time algorithm? That doesnt make sense. I admit however I have only studied quantum computers in relation to what they can do, not how. But I hope what I am saying makes sense.

With regards to extracting the private key from the public key, to my knowledge there is shors algorithm that runs in polynomial time on a quantum computer that solves integer factorisation.

Solve integer factorisation in P and you break RSA in P. I believe there are similar P algorithms that run on quantum computers for the discrete logarithm problem and elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem.

In this sense, if you scale quantum computers resources enough you break modern asymmetric cryptography.

With regards to breaking AES: Quantum computers halve the security. So 256 bit security goes to 128 bits. Still secure.

AES 128 goes to 64 bits of security. Hmmm maybe not secure anymore. Have a read of post quantum cryptography and shors algorithm to see what im on about

EDIT: added important details

Edit 2: so so many typos

My god we’re in a dystopian hell. I feel so fucking sad for these people :(

At least now the AI wont distract them from their loneliness so hopefully they contront it.

Signal. Requires little technical knowledge, other then knowing about end to end encryption and why its important

I would like to use matrix since if anything, I think its cool. But noone I know would be remotely interested.

Try focusing on life in general tbh. At age 80/90 (hopefully!) You’ll likely be so done with life its easy to accept its end. At least, thats what it seems like talking to the older folk in my life.

For the box:

Birth certificate, passport, emotionally important and irreplacable things. Bringing some food / water ofc is important, given the risk of heat strokes on hot days.

In terms of where I flee, I pick some nearby towns that are basically kilometers of concrete and ashphalt, and not right next to a forest. Talk to some friends that are in safer areas before hand about potentially staying over.

Another option for me is to go the city, and just book a hotel.

More pet stuff: if your in the common habit of having your pets run outside, keep them in during bad fire conditions ofc.

From Australia.

So there are many reasons people die in fire. It can happen if they’ve chosen to protect their home, and so stay, and unfortuntely just arent’t prepared for it.

Another common way, is leaving far too late, and getting cornered off, being unable to leave.

Sometimes the window for leaving can be very small, I recall last fire season that some people got a warning of the fire and it was already basically ontop of them, as the fire traveled very very fast.

My methods for dealing with fire season are:

Pack important things in a box. I.e ID. Idea is, if i read “leave now” i simply grab the box, and flee. Dont want to be fucking about finding shit as the sky turns red. Also, pet carriers. Dont forget your furry friends.

Know my exits. If the fire is coming from the west, what is the eastern exit?

In australia, theres a rating “catastrophic”. In that event, I just leave.

Also check any emergency service information constantly, maybe chuck on the radio (in australia the abc reports fire developments)

As you eluded to, check up on your neighbours. Disaster response is a community effort.

Fortuntely been lucky enough to only deal with the one proper fire scare, where we had to leave. We were very unprepared for it, coming from the city.

EDIT: final one I swear: in australia, there are shelters of last resort. Not sure if other countries like spain or italy have that, but figuring out at least an equivalent and knowing where they are is important aswell.

Also, quite unfortuntely, nearly 100% of the people around me use AI.

Tbh I kiiind of do that with everyone. Well, not quite, I take what they say with a big grain of salt and just continue the conversation. A couple exceptions: they are experts in what they’re talking about. Or, its some personal experience

German intellegence say forks found in kitchens

They aren’t socialist and the govs that oversaw the decline were conservatives.

But yeah, I agree it would be one hell of a logistical and political undertaking. I suspect they could try state by state. That might make it more politically managable at least.

I have sent my resignation letter

I walked into that one

Your an idiot

Yes lets do that. if my work contributed to the sufferring of my country/people, i would feel lucky thats all you did
