Thanks, even tho the comment above signaled sarcasm, the explanation was helpful for me, as I really had no idea what 3DES means and why it could be problematic

I shudder to think that even a simple Google query leading to a Wikipedia article was too much effort here... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_DES https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_DES

  Any "simple" Google query now means pages of nonsense answers, promoted sites, AI "help", before you even get to a cogent result. Much better to just talk to others than use Google.

    Reddit, got it. and Google and quora are in cahoots, right?

    When I google „TripleDES“, the first result is a box showing the Wikipedia article on Triple DES. Click on that and you’re done.

      Create a search keyword for Wikipedia. Then you can type "wiki whatever" into your address bar and be taken right to Wikipedia without the google middleman.

    Agree with the sentiment, but that's a Wikipedia link. Wikipedia is (as of yet) immune to LLM slop

      Meh...not immune, just resistant. There's unfortunately a big difference. LLM slop is coming in at the corners, typically on articles that are less well-patrolled.

    > promoted sites, AI "help" I've been experimenting with Kagi for those reasons (amongst others) and finding it works well. Far from ideal for all as it isn't free after 100 queries, but it seems to be a workable solution to the problem for me for now.

  The problem wasn't that a google search was to much effort, I just happened to be in the comments and saw this right with an explanation below it. I actually read up on it quite a bit afterwards. Feels very unwarranted to just assume laziness into a simple thank you for information spreading.
