Well, indulge my silliness for a moment... what if the servers on the internet could talk to each other?
I suspect in just a few more decades, we shall reinvent the 90s and 2000s p2p networks from first principles.
- pixl97 8mo agoI mean do you remember what p2p turned into for things like downloads? "Some_popular_thing.mov.exe" They worked great when most actors were well behaved and got abandoned pretty quickly once that changed.
- andai 8mo agoI'm not sure how that applies here? The argument is that a p2p network will be flooded with bots? There's a p2p network I use today which doesn't have that problem, probably due to its small size. Meanwhile all the big platforms do — including this one!
