minus-squaremoitoi@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoMy sentence wasn’t that litteral. It’s pseudoscientific crap marketing. “Quantum security” isn’t “survive attacks using quantum computers”. It’s completely pedantic. The issue with this usage is that the meaning of the words disappears.
