      I wonder which agencies and governments have access? I’m guessing bare minimum NSA, CIA, and higher level clearances at the FBI and DHS. Maybe even some of the 5 eyes countries. Definitely Mossad, that’s a given.

        Literally any programming issue is now vibe coding, didn’t you hear? People wrote perfect code always before LLMs took over all coding and started writing slop.

              Of course, we used to have it rough; we used to have to call the Internet through a 56k modem, download 3MB .mp3s from WinMX, burn them to CDs and play them on a boombox just to listen to music.

                  There were so many back them, Limewire, Napster, eDonkey, gnutella and the old old school IRC+FTP servers.

                  Then bittorrent came out and blew everything away, Suprnova was the OG Pirate Bay.

      If it has a back door the size of a barn door, it’s not encryption, it’s a hoax.
