We shouldn’t expect bodies and companies that benefit from centralization to give us crumbs. Remember IPv6 global multicast? ISPs killed that on sight. We need to get encrypted mes…

Should’ve used Monero or something lmao

Looks like a sneaker with wheels.

The comparison doesn’t even make sense. Reddit is a centralized platform, not a protocol. I won’t say it’s impossible to censor something like nostr but good luck with that.

I’m using nix for managing npm dependencies in a project and it seems like I accidentally got some protection from these attacks because of the nix sandbox. Looks like I got more t…

Oh I see plenty of people complaining but only a few are willing to try another platform like nostr or mastodon or whatever else. “I don’t want a solution, I want to be mad”

If AI writes your code, why use frameworks?

If people spent 5 minutes googling decentralized alternatives to stuff they would realize they don’t need to build anything, just pick something and use.

No, email is federated, what he described is clearly p2p.

Have a look at Keet, it’s a p2p IM app, works on mobile and desktop, behind NAT and all. To be honest it’s not even the only app in this game. It just seems like nobody cares about…

Siri fell behind because the bean counters at Cupertino didn’t want to spend on it, this is well documented and has nothing to do with privacy.

It should be possible, they issue CPF numbers even for tourists if you want.

Unrelated note but, cheap/midrange phones are a scam, you almost always get better value purchasing a second hand premium one.

Guess it’s a bit of both. Whenever I said “this is a website, not an app” I would get confused looks from designers. UX people fight some of the BS, but “looking pretty” usually wi…

That’s because designers stopped caring about following each platform’s guidelines because they want to spread “brand recognition” or some shit like that.

¬_¬

That doesn’t answer the point I’m making. If the instance your account was made on explodes, YOU lose your social graph, wether some of your posts survive cached elsewhere is not r…

This is half true. If mastodon.social goes down every single one of the accounts made on that instance go down as well. In truly decentralized protocols you own your identity and c…

Nostr has the highest count of AI boosters per square meter I’ve ever seen, yet nobody seems to be DDoS’ing that.

The reason: Skill issue.

“Gradually, then suddenly.”

Analog emojis FTW

Sounds like you’re describing Umbrel.

Have a look at Odysee, it is a decentralized alternative to YouTube, not just a frontend, and some YouTube channels are mirrored there already.
