  • I believe you are correct.

    I was imagining “into the future” though, where everyone has a device that meshes with like devices, creating a internet of connect devices to transport data over large distances. All decentralized, if one node goes down traffic routes a different way in the mesh.

    Think Cellphone Towers for examples, but the idea is everyone would have their own device at home (or on them) that instead creates the mesh and simultaneously access the mesh.


  • Same, decentralized mesh networks would be the equivalent of a “federated internet”. No one person owning the infrastructure.

    If this were to become mainstream the mesh would become the “Internet”, with enough nodes, pcs and servers.

    And in the meantime where one mesh does not “connect” to another, traffic could be routed through the “old internet” by one or more exit nodes connected to the “old internet”.










  • Remember when companies like Google and Facebook got slapped with fines and fees from various countries for sumerizing news in “social feeds” on their sites.

    News outlets were complaining about loss of ad revenue as a result of reduced traffic to their website directly, as consumers could get news summarized on their social feed.

    Facebook even in some cases blocked news links in some countries from not showing on users feeds as a result, so as to be compliant with local passed laws and not pay fees or fines.

    Then news outlets complained that no one was going to their sites because links were not being shared on social platforms. The very thing they complained about in the first place.

    Guess AI summarising news is somehow completely different and a completely new challenge that politicans somehow don’t understand.




  • Does Denmark still have mail delivery for “other items” like small are large packages?

    I would presume one could still send a envelope with a letter inside it located inside a bigger box or bubble envelope? One could even use the service to ship a fully encrypted USB or HHD if one wanted too.

    In Canada there is talk about ending the national funded postal service as well (this one delivers letters predominantly), you can use it to ship larger items along with standard envelopes.

    Its a strange idea to me though as people always need to mail things, so if the national postal service is shuttered then a private postal service will need to step in.
