I hope this gets its own Wikipedia article.

Not everything is Chrome just yet. We still have Gecko and Webkit holding on.

It was fun! It worked well when compared with IE back in the day which isn’t saying much, but it was a sensible bedfellow with iTunes and all the Apple mobile support software that was common to run alongside for your iPod. I enjoyed using it as my main browser because it was aesthetically pleasing.

Apple used rigged demos and made false claims about their own technology so outstanding that their own project managers were taken aback by how far behind the features actually were vs. what was pushed. There’s already informal documentaries on the massive internal disconnects within Apple that have lead to poor product testing and stagnation.

I did use Safari for Windows back in the day. It was a product they indeed shipped.

I came here just to write this – I thought we clearly chose to leave behind cybersecurity because education and science are bad.

Then use decentralized links or hashes, which is what IPFS uses to identify content. A character limit doesn’t solve this problem fundamentally. Indeed, it’s been a tough problem to solve for decentralized services.

I’m concerned about the large amount of low quality, vaporware/crypto applications built on IPFS which is the same core technology used here. It’s concerning how many clicks it takes to get technical specs for the underlying work, like libp2p for the network layer, which itself espouses only vague ideas on its main website that seems to focus a lot more on presentation than technical merit. Even the GitHub admits that the spec that most of these apps are relying upon is, well, unspecified.

Your project source downloads and runs an executable. That’s a little bit SUS; it would be much better if you compiled/built this core code as part of your build process, else, it’s not much in the way of source code, no? But, it works. It seems to delegate just fine, and few understand how to actually talk IPFS directly. But, this is the most important part!

I think the biggest tell that IPFS borders on vaporware is that there’s very little discussion about concrete specifications and the main problem faced by all DHTs: how you get your data to actually stay hosted on the network over time. These ideas are not new, and you may be better served building your app on technology that has spent vastly more time understanding the fundamental problems.

This is how you write a spec without actually writing a spec. And I’ve written a lot of specs.

This is how you write a spec. Excruciating detail of what actually gets sent over the wire at different levels of the design starting from the very bottom.

Anyway, just my 2c. It’s cool you’ve got functionality at this level and that’s commendable, but I feel it’s built on shoddy foundation of an immature technology. At least it should be easy to migrate to something else in the future as the distributed technology is offload to a separate binary anyway.

Note: Various edits for clarification and to ensure I focus on the code and not the human.

This is exactly what some of my extended family uses because there’s literally no other option. Not even cellular.

This isn’t even up in the mountains or something. This is just rural Alabama where kids are struggling to do homework because they just don’t have access, and it all but guarantees that their technology skills will remain woefully outdated.

I remember when they had DSL not that long ago and I would turn off updates on everything because it was a complete waste of time to attempt.

We’re not really a first world country. I’m not sure that we ever were.

It’s truly amazing how stupid Americans can be. I was hoping better for my fellow citizens but I guess not.

I ask AI to avoid all the AI slop search results I’d have to sift through when I could get my slop delivered directly.

Aero the Acrobat for GBA.

Cheap Sonic ripoff? I loved that game. Spent many childhood hours and AA batteries playing it and learning every corner of every level.

In my book that’s pretty good drawing. I don’t draw very well at all.

You may underestimate user dedication. I love my instance and totally would come back after a few months away temporarily.

You got me on the communities though.

Fediverse is designed to handle servers with less than stellar reliability.

I happen to just like wearing glasses.

I understand that being a bumbling idiot makes one their preferred candidate for leadership.

AI is not healthy. Our mental health is nowhere near good enough to handle even this level of machine intelligence.

Great move for Facebook. It’ll let them claim they’re doing something to curb horrid content on the platform without actually doing anything.

Realistically, there would be very little if any time remaining to experience regret.
