English also has the word "but" with only one t. So actual English speakers aren't automatically triggered when they hear the sound of "b-u-t" together. "Scuttlebutt" sounds like a hokey old timey word and

Seems like it's federated and if you really connect with someone you meet, you can probably choose to become "friends" and store each others' directly, bypassing that federated/centralized server.

Manyverse still has the direct friend-to-friend invites, right? I'm pretty sure Patchwork still doesn't have this :/ If I could connect to the friends I know in person first, that would be great. I think social networks gain

Unfortunately, the code examples in the Rust book still feels like toy projects / toy code. What I like about the Go book is that it feels production-ready, even though it is simple. This is because it is following industry best practi

The question is "who stands to gain"? I can't see 5G benefiting consumers at all. If you're on a 4G network, you already see no issues with streaming video. Who is 5G even for? It's a solution seeking a problem.

by olah_1 7y ago
That's all I was saying. 5G is not like other infrastructure such as roads or tunnels or fiber lines. It's a "nice to have". So why can't we do more research and prove ME wrong? I would love to be proven wrong.

The radiation and cancer concern is categorically different than "not in my backyard". If you can't see that these are totally unrelated, then I don't know what to say. Fiber lines are completely different than "hey

Just sharing the obligatory cancer scare articles. It's obvious to me that radiation of all kinds has an effect on us, whether that is non-ionizing or not. I think a lot more independent research needs to be done in this area, lest we

Really strange that this reply is greyed out. I specifically came to the comments hoping that someone compared this project to Gun. Who better than Mark?

To be fair, contributing to OSM is more work in America. You have to drive every where and you technically aren't allowed to use other maps as a source (I don't know if that's ever followed though)
