The obsession with identity politics, choosing actors based on their race, gender, and sexuality rather than talent, berating fans as bigots when they don't like the content, etc.

I'd hate to work anywhere that tolerated this kind of narcissistic employee "activism", glad that companies are finally putting a stop to it.

If there is actually substance here then they should hire a competent technical writer, the way this is written seems designed to irritate and/or obfuscate. ZK stuff is complicated enough without superfluous nonsense.

One day after he says he is disillusioned with Democrats and will vote Republican? These smear merchants are utterly shameless.

If you're in favor of censorship you're not one of the good guys.

It will have a websocket-based API so can work with any client software that can talk to that, no browser required.

I wasn't aware, I spoke to Arne a few weeks ago but I don't think he brought it up.

No, it's unrelated. It's most closely related to https://freenetproject.org/ - which was a previous project of mine.

State changes propagate virally through peers storing any given contract. If a peer doesn't get an update for whatever reason there are a variety of mechanisms that get it back in sync ASAP, so it will be eventually consistent. The con

It's more designed for distribution than bulk storage, but yes - this should be possible.

We're not married to Discord, we just picked it because it was the most convenient option for the early dev team. We can change easily.

Yes, it's P2P. Your data will be distributed around the network on the computers of other peers, with data integrity guaranteed through cryptography. With respect to reading more, currently there isn't too much beyond the Github p

The blockchain is a terrible place to put a system like DNS.

We'll happily use Locutus for those things once it's ready ;)

In theory[1] you can run a mail server on your home computer, but even then you must depend on the centralized domain name system to host your MX record, so I would say it's more "federated" than decentralized. [1] In practic

We're definitely still working on how we explain it. That is an example of the contract API - you can find a better explanation of it here: https://github.com/freenet/locutus/issues/9 We're not re-i

Locutus is more like a cache than long-term storage, so data can fall out of the network if nobody is requesting it, but information publishers can serve as a backup for data stored in the network, replacing it if it falls out. I think maki

Unfortunately it's closed source, but https://www.semanticmerge.com/ has been around for a few years and works similarly, but can also merge.
