IPV6 and webRTC grumblings
@steely_glint
- "Set Phasers to Session Traversal Utilities for NAT, Scotty"!
- "But Cap'n, It's 2023, we're using IPv6"
BTW, when is your #STUN obtained address not your address? - When your upstream WISP is multi-homed and the route to the stun server is not the route to your rtp endpoint. So, run your own stun server beside your media server, also avoids your address revelation concern. Of course, 'should' not be an issue with IPv6, but....
@Viss the what store? How do I install this store? I can't find it on #fdroid. 😜
No but really... I tend to avoid to do the e2e thing with devices that have the dependencies required to access that. What's the point? I do wonder if they call it 'play' store for a reason, but #e2eIsNotAToy

Supposed AI-only 'Twitter', for the entertainment of humans in nihilistic fascination with our self-obsolescence.
Beyond Turing and computational rationalism, I do wonder how much of this is disaster vanity, the 'OMG we created a monster'.
How long?
A contemporary #internet story.
ALICE: Bob is a #psychopath.
CAROL: Could be, I don't know, I haven't seen any direct evidence of Bob being a psychopath.
ALICE: Come on, even Mallory says Bob is a psychopath.
CAROL: Wait.. now I HAVE directly seen Mallory display sociopathic behaviour.
ALICE: Carol is a psychopath.

.doc is also somewhat cringeworthy

.asp wins for me.

@Nour @laurenshof @aral If Microsoft Edge hid the address bar behind a button, auto-loaded store.microsoft.biz and called it the “official web site of the internet”, we’d all have problems with it. Having an “official node of the Fediverse” is the same thing. You are giving Mastodon so much control by being ok with this. There is no official on the Fediverse. We’re all equals.

* Make software that works on older devices, the older the better.
* Make software that will keep on working for a very long time.
* Make software that uses the least amount of total energy to achieve its results.
* Make software that also uses the least amount of network data transfer, memory and storage.
* Make software that encourages the user to use it in a frugal way.

Monthly home internet line rental, prepay mobile packages of x GB etc. This is all sold, and it's HUGE. It leads somewhat to "Who cares what the content is as long as I can ship it on my wires and charge for that"
It would seem this was an integral part of the strategy to extract value from the internet.
However, I do not have hard data on a comparison between "profit" from advertising and that from selling pure bytes on the wire.
Does anybody else have any insight?
@dk
Thanks for reminding me of this post from a few years ago.
In 2018, it think many agreed with this sentiment: [... that they earn profit by exploiting their own users, who generate all the content.... However, this is not the case because the media is not sold, and therefore makes no profit... What is sold is advertisement.]
Nowadays, I like to point out that while the media is not sold, the medium IS sold.

....which we can do by presenting a book or by sharing part of an article that has made an impression on us... 😃
@danyork
Now, you could just take all that as meaning that there is still an awful lot of work to be done, and you'd be right!
So not giving up yet. 😃
