The question is why is this the case? The simple answer is p2p solutions struggle with asynchronous communications due to variable uptime of consumer devices. That said, that can be overcome by various means.

Establishing a user base for any communications platform is a challenge, largely adoption is driven by user experience and project narrative. There is no reason a p2p project couldn’t meet these criteria, they have before many times for file-sharing.

In fact, I think a self-hosted cloud storage solution with a communications platform built on it could be a great way to get a network of this type established. I know various file-sharing platforms like Soulseek have had these features, but I wonder if you slapped a WhatsApp clone UI onto it and push it as “own and share your files securely, no one you don’t specifically share the file with ever holds the files” if that wouldn’t pick up some steam.

Thunderbolt is a proprietary specification by Intel and Apple, while Displayport is an open standard developed by VESA.

USB connector hardware can meet the Thunderbolt or Displayport specifications, but must conform. Most do not.

Sadly Secure Scuttlebutt Protocol is abandonware, as is it’s more scalable but far less tested successor PZP

The p2p social approach seems so necessary, but projects that actually implement it are fraught with challenges it seems.

Does the BW-16D1HT offer good performance for 4kbluray playback as well as ripping? Looking at it it seems price competitive with the stand-alone players, and if it is good it would make financial sense to buy a dedicated pc and enclosure as an alternative to stand-alone player assuming it can drive HDR and Atmos

looks nice

DEX is actually pretty good when used with a keyboard and external monitor. I also dont love thr Samsung walled garden, but I end up buying their products because I use my phones for several years at a time before replacing them so top end hardware specs are a priority and especially cameras.

I would go Sony but the data band support in the US is incomplete, and I can’t get caught out by poor cell service while traveling.

I am considering going Pixel next but Graphene hasn’t been announced for Pixel 10 yet so I’m a bit on the fence, I guess I could buy an older model and give it a try wifi only for a bit to see how I like it.

A lot of the issue with foldable is the non-standard aspect ratio. This gets to a standard tablet aspect ratio, so should run out of the box with most apps without additional modification.

Also DEX support on-device means it can run fully windowed applications and use mouse and keyboard natively, which is a big boost in functionality for productivity applications.

Australia is leading the way, multiple EU nations have stated interest/intent: https://www.newsbytesapp.com/news/science/these-nations-might-ban-social-media-for-teenagers/story

You are vastly underestimating the youths current addiction to social media. Take it away and you will see some rapid pursuit of novelty.

Prohibition leads to the propagation of means of evasion. By attempting to ban teenagers from popular means of communications they will incentivize mass adoption of “illicit means” of communications, and create another generation both familiar and comfortable with “illegal online activity” like the Napster generation. Just like Napster, this will also accidentally push youth into online platforms and channels where they are more likely to encounter content not suitable for minors and malware.

The only “truly effective” form that this type of internet control can take is requiring a digital ID verification to establish a connection to the network at the ISP, and that is a nightmare setup we should be prepared to fight tooth and nail.

What are the implications for users of FOSS? Should we not be downloading from github?

“The model is named Apertus – Latin for “open” – highlighting its distinctive feature: the entire development process, including its architecture, model weights, and training data and recipes, is openly accessible and fully documented.”

Thanks, that is very clear

Does Delta Chat / Arcane Chat suffer from the same vulnerability?

Seems pretty out of date compared to main branch

Looks like the F-Droid link just goes to the main ArcaneChat page. What are the advantages vs ArcaneChat?

And the internet is largely a platform for capitalism, and most available content is from the internet. Capitalism fundamentally relies on the confidence games of profitable pricing and marketing, not to mention speculation on finance.

LLMs and the entire field of reenforcement learning is fundamentally biased towards the production of Influencing Machines. We are training models at the fundamental level to be subtle and devious con artists.
