Interestingly the founder of the project seems to explicitly disagree with that article

Based on the community being quite succsessful so far despite being made by volunteers, I don’t think they will.

Sneakernet is getting worse and worse these days, I’m learning the ancient art of astroprojecting into random people’s rooms to consume media.

Anna’s Archive seems to be doing a good job of that

What would an ai achieve? The only thing I can think of is a documentation summariser, but that can already be made with current applications independent of linux

Seems like it, I switched to my current instance explicitly to avoid dealing with this stuff

Yes but you wouldn’t happy with that kind of outcome, you’d spend every day hoping for something more interesting to happen, perhaps even hoping for a loss to make things interesting after a certain point.

Yep, since I mostly pirate obscure games I don’t need to worry about the VPN. Lutris works great for fitgirl-repacks

Why not? It seems to be working fine.

Can you enlighten me on the problems with GTK, I don’t really know much about it?

Tired of having your data stolen in ways that can be used by both corporations and governments to manipulate you? We at incogni can help you against both*. By utilizing the few remaining laws on data protection, you can pay us to send emails to hidden legal departments to express your wishes for them to follow your desire to not be targeted by invasive advertisers. While you can do that process yourself, goodluck finding the email address. Unfortunately you won’t know if they complied until they get hacked by teens showing off and leak your data in the process.

Incogni, sometimes preventing both incels or gay internet catboys(for more information look up SeigedSec telegram") from uploading your personal data.

*governments can still determine every site you visit due to the default settings in DNS records leaking that data to your government controlled and logging ISP. If you are a US citizen they will also pay google for your data with your tax dollars . Please change your DNS resolver to Cloudflare or Quad9, it might even speed up your loading time.

In my experience a lot of programming blogs still have them, but then again those are the people who are most capable of adding them and who are mostly likely to find them

The advantage of youtube is that it’s user generation and low barrier to entry allows anyone to produce creations that are targeted to niches so specific, people would be unwilling to make something that targets them due to the lack of profit, if they are even aware of the existence of said niche. It also means that said creations can be made relatable to specific groups.

Things like parasocial relationships also apply, where we watch someones videos in order to get to know them to the point you may unintentionally believe you are friends with them, Something let’s players, bloggers, streamers and podcast/radio hosts all are able to effectively exploit. It probably helps that most start off being relatable to there viewers due to there similar (and often worse) economic status.

Well, at least we all have some miniscule power to make it better I guess

Unfortunately not

Too many people involved I think, someone will have to check this but all those members with names attached look like real developers who were significantly contributing to the project. It is perfectly possible for a dictator for life to have festered a toxic culture that got worse over time, and has happened multiple times before.

All cachyos does differently is have repos with the best optermisations applied. In practice its just a faster version of arch with an optional archinstall GUI.

Technically yes by rewriting ipfs’s code, but due to ipfs’s flaws you would be better off using something like freenet/hyphanet which has been designed for that purpose and has been successfully running since 2000, with the added benefit that the data is actually stored in the network by others instead of just by you (at least when you often request the data)

Unfortunately the reality of IPFS is that despite its huge funding it was poorly designed from the start and still to this day has much slower loading times then my I2pd instance (despite i2p transmiting messages through multiple encrypted proxies), to the point where the company working on the rust implementation determined it was so bad they had to scrap the whole thing to make something that actually worked. Not to mention that I managed to have my server taken over by some kind of malware by downloading a particular piece of content.

Are you running a server which has a “community server” badge on it or using disboard?
