  • Russian people? Yes. The Duma and the Kremlin? No. Name your terms, dimwit. Context matters. I mean not to you, since you’re a dimwit.

    Also: you didn’t get the original post, did you? Reading comprehension and understanding irony is not your strong suit I guess.

    "bUt RuSsIa HaZ a CiViL lAw SyStEm.’

    Russian laws don’t matter, because they are run by a literal fascist - you moron.

    What was your point again? Mine was violent revolution whereby Trump gets axed and no president could set a legal precedent like that again.

    Did you get that?






  • Also, stop slobbering over shuttlecock. Centralized repos run by big corporation is not free as in libre, it’s free - as in free to rug pull you into a SaaS model.

    “But you can make your own!”

    If you modify the client and if you recreate the backend to actually make snaps. It’s in essence proprietary technology posing as open source.

    Also, I do use flatpaks on my NixOS to get packages directly from vendors and not from some wannabe app store. Yes, Flathub allows vendors to post directly.

    Even though the FreeDesktop dependencies are big, it’s still much more free than snaps.

    Why are you booing? Oh yeah, right. Because it’s a shallow and superficial take - but still, the boy has a point.

    The Dems have been neglecting democratic process within their own ranks, in effect alienating their constituency - and it has been going on long before Palestine hit the mainstream. The last time the Dems held a primary was in 2008.

    All of this has culminated in a disenfranchised voter base that just doesn’t give af about the dems - and it’s well deserved.



  • TL;Dr. From Wikipedia

    IPFS allows users to host and receive content in a manner similar to BitTorrent. As opposed to a centrally located server, IPFS is built around a decentralized system of user-operators who hold a portion of the overall data. Any user in the network can serve a file by its content address, and other peers in the network can find and request that content from any node who has it using a distributed hash table (DHT).

    So it’s BitTorrent in the web browser… thanks. How is that to be competitive with CloudFlare and Quic again? It has the same network issues that the blockchain has, in that it will be cumbersome and slow - for anyone else that doesn’t have millions to throw into infrastructure. Welcome to the same problem again, but in a different way.


  • The sustainability of it is questionable. If I’m not mistaken, IPFS is based on Ethereum, which has gone over to proof of stake rather than proof of work, but it’s still a pretty cumbersome system.

    We’re talking about something that needs to compete with Quic and CloudFlare. I’m not sure that Ethereum or even crypto itself is efficient enough as a content delivery method, that IPFS - though a nice idea - is unrealistic.

    But that’s just speculation from someone who has zero knowledge behind IPFS as a technology and protocol, so take it with a grain of salt.

    EDIT: honestly, why qualify with “I’m not sure” when besserwissers and their alts roam the fediverse instead of going to therapy. Smh. Give the people a Tl;Dr at least. I’m not here for long form content.
