Yeah, really great news: more vertical integration for higher walls around those gardens. And, as usual, the majority of hackernews is celebrating this as a win and will happily sh…

I think introducing a law to require open documentation plus repairability at launch, and open-source+hardware at EOL (maybe even before say 5 years after launch) could work. Busin…

> The lesson? There’s no tool, however well designed, that can bring pure reason to politics. The whole article is just slamming an attempt at improving the situation without sugge…

If WebRTC is activated in your browser and webtorrent ( https://webtorrent.io/ ) is being used by the instance, yes. However, you could say the same for Zoom or most video calling …

WebTorrent ( https://webtorrent.io/ ) is built upon WebRTC, but I believe PeerTube should fallback to simple HTTP mp4. There is a download link handy that you can open in the brows…

It's not P2P, it's federated. Anybody can host an instance and probably that one has low bandwidth and isn't mirrored by other instances. Instances like https://tilvids.com/ or htt…

It does use Webtorrent by default (it can be turned off).

Is this comparable to IPFS running on I2P?

It depends on the configuration of the server. Some disable Webtorrent (probably because it doesn't support HLS). When they do that then I think it pulls from the federation, which…

Please not mailinglists. They are unbrowsable and who likes getting their inbox spammed in order to follow a discussion? What's more, not everybody follows etiquette: - reply and j…

I'm a little split on it because they don't use IPFS. It would be great if they had a button to "mirror" or "contribute bandwidth", because that I would do. I have a few VPSs contr…

It's not JS or node that's the problem, it's the JS ecosystem. Badly or too broadly defined dependencies can (and do) lead to pulling a new version of a dep that introduced a break…

I'd go even one step further: EOL software and hardware should be forced to be open-hardware (at least open schematics) or opensource. If you're not willing to support a product an…

That's going to take a while. But at least the linux kernel is starting to integrate Rust. It's doubtful they'll rewrite the whole thing in Rust, but getting it in there is a start…

This reminds me of the words in the video "Why Bing Isn't a Failure (& the Future of the Internet)" [0] > At the very bottom are plugins, extensions, mods and hacks. They fundament…

https://zorin.com/os/pro/ is basically what you're looking for

1. Other OSes (at least linux) have user keychains. 2. Once malware is running as your user, how do you expect to protect against that even with a keychain? They can log all your k…

While watching live, probably not, but once downloaded they lose value, don't they?

Considering the current system and real options that they have right now, what are they supposed to do if they want to earn money (or even a living) making videos that will make yo…

Will this set a precedent for other countries or economic regions to follow suit? I could see France for example pointing to SK as a successful model and implementing it. Probably …

I'm reading the comments here and it seems like quite a few people are disgusted but not surprised by this behavior. My question to them: has it changed / will it change your behav…

You mean the Afghan conflict? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghanistan_conflict_(1978%E2%...

China is doing more for those countries than the West ever has or will. Yeah, sure, they're building the infrastructure to strip the country bare, but the West hasn't been much bet…
