Drives are usually encrypted with symmetric ciphers (usually AES) and these are reasonably secure against quantum attacks with a key big enough.

And with the vast majority of crimes you just need to wait until the statute of limitations, which in cryptography and quantum fields is quite short period.

No more secrets.

Post-quantum cryptography enters the chat

Relevant XKCD for the OP https://xkcd.com/1053

Slightly related to the issue of remembering addresses, I think the main issue is with the fact that local nameservers are pretty much non-existent if you're not running OpenWrt or OpnSense. Which is shameful because the local nameserver is an amazing quality of life tool.

Also the fact that officially there are no local TLDs except for ".arpa" while browsers won't resolve one word domains without adding http://

And don't get me started on TLS certificates in local networks... (although dns01 saves the day)

I would love to start using ipv6 but my ISP decided that their devices won't support prefix delegation because "nobody uses ipv6 and nothing works with it"

Can it even make sense tho? To me JS is an example of a not too good thing that people started too eagerly so now they're trying to make it make sense.

In most jurisdictions you can't give away copyright - that's why CC0 exists. And again most open-source and CC licences require attribution, if you use those licences you have a right to be attributed

CC (not sure about MIT) virtually always requires attribution, but as GitHub Copilot showed right now open-"media" authors have basically no way of enforcing their rights.

I know it has nothing to do with protecting the users, but how exactly is the app supposed to make viewing unreviewed content safer?

Data caps are simply false advertising - if your infrastructure can only handle X Tb/s then sell lower client speeds or implement some clever QoS.

There are plenty of users for whom 1.5TB is quite or very restrictive - multi member households, video/photo editors working with raw data, scientists working with raw data, flatpak users with Nvidia GPU or people that selfhost their data or do frequent backups etc.

With the popularity of WFH and our dependence on online services the internet is virtually as vital as water or electricity, and you wouldn't want to be restricted to having no electricity until the end of the month just because you used the angle grinder for a few afternoons.

Don't know for birds but apparently they can win a fight with snake because they have better reaction time. So maybe something similar is contributing here too

I hope you don't have any long term consequences of that
