Yeah, that's why I asked for sources. The only story I could find about this was, as mentioned, back in 2016. I hope your viewpoint is actually from proper reporting of actual phenomena and not some biased opinions. "Arab and Afri

Do you have any sources for this? I'm only seeing a wave of reports back in 2016.

I remember reading this article and being curious I looked at all the correctness issues. I think I found almost all of the issues have been resolved. Of course, they might've gotten priority after the publication of this article and m

I, myself, am a lot more worried about a few monopolists doing whatever they get to choose for the rest of humanity. AI fuels that vision more than any other piece of technology.

It's not just about availability (even though it is compute-limited, making it a technology only for those who have access to sufficient equipment or paying for it). Some technologies enable even more accumulation of wealth and success

Because obviously the faster we develop tools for the rich and powerful to make more money and have more control, the better it is for society.

There are plenty of AI experts who believe that AI will do more harm than good if it keeps being developed at this rate.

Nothing is "unstoppable", especially a vulnerable platform like Twitter with DMA coming up.

I think the takeaway isn't that Twitter doesn't cause traffic to webpages, just businesses and journalists having their own accounts not affected said traffic.

For the local maximum issue, there's plenty of optimization algorithms that deal with this issue which I think are perfectly viable for this case scenario.

what else would someone expect board members to care about? It's naïve to expect otherwise, really.

I think you are, in fact, too cynical. They've already announced the new fee structure which is a lot more sensible. And before you go "that's how they wanted people to react to the final structure", there's no way

> This is basically the only thing IPFS offers that Bittorrent doesn't. Now that's simply just untrue. The main difference from Bittorrent is that it relies on Content ID, not torrent links. IPFS is used by many organizations a

Yes that's usually the motive behind its supporters but not the used argument when it is criticized.

It solves the lack of incentive issue.

Do you have any sources where I can read up on this? I've also heard of this complaint and I'm interested in diving into it for my thesis. Do you know what algorithms are suitable to make IPFS scalable?

Streamers don't really play much of a role in gamedev communities though. The professional perception of the developer community is what will really be tested here.

Yes you can. But unless you're a AAA developer studio, it's ridiculously infeasible. At least for Godot, there would be a community effort to maintain it. Such a community would be impossible with any closed-source (even if readab

OP implies that the devs were the ones who wrote the headline though. They clearly stated that it is not (yet) a sound alternative to Discord.

They say so in the project description. I think they understand what constitutes a group messaging app. It is, however, something that can be built upon and improve. That's how open source works, you have to start with just the basics.

Even if it is free it's still an essential service that we all use. The consumer needs to be protected from monopolies that harm the market. Monopolies have been proven over and over again to be harmful to the end product. Imagine if G

I'm always perplexed by these vague but very consistent comments about burning taxpayer money. If you think government actions are a waste of tax money just go live in a forest or something.

Maybe because the regulatory offices aren't built well enough to handle all monopolies at once? These companies have a huge amount of lobbying activity and the best legal teams out there. I don't think taking down one monopoly wou
