iOS 13 also completely butchered the screenshot editing interface. It's approximately 4 times slower than the old one. The markup button is hidden in the 3-dot menu in the far upper-right (such a strain to reach this!). Oh and the &quo

Or, we use content-addressable and immutable code like in Unison. It doesn't matter what you call the function or what I call it. It's the same code. https://www.unisonweb.org/

I actually think something like https://www.manyver.se is a better example because it uses so many different ways to get information out. Pubs and rooms over the clear net. Bluetooth, direct p2p, same network connections, etc. I
