gollark: It's possible to brute-force encryption in theory, but modern crypto makes this very impractical to do given constraints like the available size of the universe and stuff.
gollark: <@!692654568827387986> I'm pretty sure you're wrong about encryption here. You can't just magically decrypt stuff without the key. Encrypted data you don't have the key for is indistinguishable from random noise.
gollark: It still has calls to Google stuff in it, they're just visibly there.
gollark: Not really.
