This is absurd. If a company produces kitchen knives you wouldn't hold that company responsible for a murder that was carried on with such a knife. If people want to commit crimes they'll find a way.
They are trying to censor developers
There is also this other website for testing fingerprinting https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/
A lot of activity gets tracked by your phone. Best thing is not using a smartphone, the second best thing is using a degoogled phone (like a google pixel where you replace the normal android with GrapheneOS or CalyxOS if you don't have a pixel phone).
Another thing that doesn't get a lot of attention is "fingerprinting". Basically is how "unique" you appear to the websites you are visiting. Chances are that even blocking trackers makes you "unique", so ideally you want to send false info to blend in with the other users. https://www.amiunique.org/
to be honest I get the same treatment in some places when I make a mistake or I don't explain myself with a certain level of detail. It's exhausting and I don't think it brings anything. The same things can be said in another way without bullying people into silence. I think that it's true, some topics are complex, but the way people collaborate on software is the real problem. People should be allowed to be mistaken without being afraid to be shamed or bullied. If we are not allowed to experiment, we can't innovate. All the most important inventions in the history of humanity went through many failures before people could get them right. I see many developers who just want to be right and they are really hateful. They make it impossible to have a constructive dialogue.
oh I saw... I'm not really interested in publishing a client, but I need the practical knowledge. I think the potential is in the connectivity, nostr could work as an overlay network and since it's collecting and replicating metadata across multiple relays already that could be used to establish p2p connections. I think that going off-line first is the future, because the user's computer becomes their own server and you give them maximum governance over their data
I think there are some things in process for a CDN or at least it shouldn't be too difficult to implement... I don't know about scalability though...
that's great! Thanks! I actually came here because of nostr. I'm studying the protocol and checking how to develop a client
Undertale definitely comes to mind. You can befriend "enemies" and the way you behave towards them also changes their attitude toward you (they don't attack you anymore)
I was really excited about zed at first. After all I've been orbiting around tooling written in rust for a while now and there are some interesting developments for what concerns GUI software and libraries (check out https://areweguiyet.com/ ). The thing that I found icky about Zed is to go Mac first for the implementation. It's of course a business decision and I understand that they are targeting enterprise development as this is the one that pays the most. But what I find absurd is that they are asking people to fix their problems with their linux versions when they clearly don't care about linux users.
They made a clear choice to support first an os that antagonizes open source (the reason why it is so complicated to develop cross platform gui apps is in part due to Apple reluctance of adopting Vulkan low level graphic API in favor of their proprietary software) and now they want to take the high road. No thanks.
People are afraid of anarchy because that they have brainwashed since infancy into believing that it means disruptive chaos, violence and absence of rules. But more people are naturally drawn to anarchy that we actually believe ( as Graeber eloquently explained in this article https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/david-graeber-are-you-an-anarchist-the-answer-may-surprise-you ). Absence of rulers doesn't mean absence of rules.
