actually, that's the point of p2p: it doesn't cost developers anything. I don't have to "win" at market share to make it either, just enough mass to develop a self-sustaining community of users and developers. I don

you mean popcorntime? or webtorrent + thepiratebay.org? these get shut down due to legal issues, but, from a technical perspective, building netflix using bittorrent (or ipfs) is 100% doable and quite reliable

how do Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud Drive, &c. compete? they have similar features, pricing, &c. dex tech doesn't have to be radically different to be competitive, it just has to be good, fast, and have a competitive angle of

i think what we need is another type of walled garden, what i'm calling a freedom garden. a complete alternative to APPL and GOOG that has media, devices, apps, &c. free software projects and linux distributions have been around fo

let's hope china (or somebody else) crushes their dreams. seeing the same big four dominate everything over and over and over is getting tiresome. can GOOG/FB/AMZN die already?

i'm developing an os with an architecture similar to qubes, in part because i disagree with the idea of using hardware virt as an isolation mechanism. i think this can be done with os virtualization much more cheaply without being much

i prefer a curated musical experience. so live music, playlists i made or that were shared with me, and albums. i don't use any streaming services either.

yes, that's kind of the idea of doing research. you know, to learn things that we don't know yet. or did you think science was a book of unambiguous answers that only the godly scientist may read?

i'm pretty excited about flatpak et al, because gnu/linux will finally get application sandboxing that is reasonably easy to enforce. the dynamic lib bullshit that the community got hooked has been a huge impediment to implementin
