I have a genuine question.

Why every online password manager (lilke lastpass, 1 pass etc) uses PBKDF2 instead of Argon2id, scrypt, bcrypt, Lyra2?

That's amazing!!!

Is there any possibility it's gonna been added to signal desktop?

For users who signed in from the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) are supported by storing data only on servers in the Netherlands, and designating a London-based company as their responsible data controller.[1]

Now, question is, because there is a London-based company, are they allowed to read and store all messages?

Could you clarify to me one thing please?

Because Telegram has headquarters in London, United Kingdom (legal domicile) [1] and becuase conversations on Telegram are not E2EE, does that mean that they could voluntarily scanning them?

sorry, but anti-vaxxers are empowered by doubtful and propagandistic press releases...when you have solid, scientific and independently peer-reviewed data the only thing that anti-vaxxers can do is be silent and accept them.

We all are still waiting peer-reviewd scientific papers instead of press releases....

This could be the fastes approval in the whole drugs' history considering that

The assessment of a marketing authorisation application for a new medicine takes up to 210 ‘active’ days. This active evaluation time is the time spent by EMA experts to evaluate the evidence provided by the applicant in support of a marketing authorisation application.

This time is interrupted by one or two ‘clock-stops’ during which the applicant prepares the answers to any questions raised by the CHMP. The maximum duration of a clock-stop depend on how long the applicant thinks it will take to respond, but must be agreed by the CHMP. The first clock-stop usually lasts 3 to 6 months and the second one 1 to 3 months.

Overall, the assessment of a new medicine usually lasts around a year.

> The paper said EU member states have “called for solutions” to allow “law enforcement and other competent authorities to gain lawful access to digital evidence”, without weakening encryption or breaching privacy and fair trial guarantees.

This is interesting because if we consider EU27 and the Press Freedom Index we discover that 8 countries have a good situation, 11 satisfactory, 8 noticeable problems...could the 8 countries (Romania,Croatia, Poland, Greece, Cyprus North, Malta, Hungary) be somehow beneficial from the encryption weakening?

"Think of the children" cliché will never die.

Exactly!

But, moreover: how can my research be reproducible if someone else can't afford to buy that specific software? Or if the software's version I used is outdated and the updated one does not read the old one's files?

> very specific software which name I do not remember but it was proprietary and only on Windows

Because it was the only available software for that specific course or because your teacher told you "this is the software, period"?

...and open-standards

in fact open-hardware and open-ISA are a fact.

Let me ask you: is Stallman talking about schools or businesses?

Just to be a little realistic: is there some "school activity" that makes using closed-software mandatory because there isn't an open-source alternative?

And maybe you still don't know how many millions they give to the software houses to use their statistical packages :)

Free as in freedom and not as in free beer

He is right and it's the very same reason why open-source and free-software should be used in scientific research.

“We know that Redditors are so privacy-conscious,” says Victoria Taylor, director of Communications at Reddit, referring to the site’s community of registered users. So privacy-conscious, indeed. A number of sub-Reddits, which are user-made discussion and link-sharing forums, are devoted to the practice of online privacy tactics, education, and information. A noble Redditor respects “Reddiquette,” refusing to reveal the personal information of a fellow Redditor.

What still amazes me after 5 (?) years since Snowden's revelations it's how EU hasn't banned US social platforms yet.
