<p>I don&#39;t know how to explain just how incredibly toxic quantum computing is as a field. There&#39;s some amazing people in the field, but my fucking god, there is so much harassment, assault, racism, misogyny, transphobia, and just plain old petty bullshit.</p><p>I fucking hate it.</p>
<p>The fun thing about quantum computing being in the news is seeing all kinds of absolutely terrible people getting quoted and interviewed. Every link is triggering, and I mean that in the most literal sense that I can.</p>

<p>oddly threatening phrasing here</p>

The nice thing about WebUSB on Chrome though, is that it also works well on mobile... that might be harder with a native+extension approach?</p>
