Mozilla had already committed to decoupling Pocket following a developer summit this Summer, due in part (presumably) to the vocal minority of users that hated the very idea of it.

That is indeed the first detail of the first proposal mentioned (Mars Direct). It doesn't fundamentally change the equation, and loads the project with upfront costs.

IPFS shares a lot of similarities to the Freenet datastore, yes. Both support static and dynamic keys that map to content-addressed URIs and can be accessed via a DHT. IPFS lets you selectively (opt-in) save data locally and host it, unlike

1. This isn't a single proposal 2. It is not trying to be novel relative to existing distributed stores. It is trying to get the features in HTTP that have been used in lots of other custom applications.

Usenet still exists, but herding cats never got any easier, and the cost for hosting didn't go away. There is a reason it became marginalized: user experience. Facebook Zero is no longer doing what you allege, and never actually did. I

They need to be logically accessible because they are managed devices. NAT doesn't work in this case. Of course, IPv6 is the more correct solution, if you can manage it (no pun intended). See Comcast's presentation about their mot

Everyone wants more great engineering to happen. You're not a snowflake in that regard. You're complaining because you can imagine it happening faster than it is, which is unhelpful and unpleasant. Thus, downvotes.

Nope. Smartphones get replaced more regularly, and with less compatibility headaches than Desktops. XP reigned for over a decade. No iOS version will be widely used for nearly that long.
