These days, applications (whether they're web, mobile, or desktop) with absurd shortcomings in terms of UI/UX are a daily occurrence, yet most people seem to have become incapable of noticing, or at least of giving sensible feedba

In the current economic system, I don't see any. By changing this, for example, by eliminating bank intermediation in the creation of money, well, that could change things. Those who tried, like Lincoln with the Continentals, ended up

For me, the great idea behind Nostr is that identity is a self-generated key pair, which can then be used wherever you want (and the economic model, with much potentials). In terms of decentralisation, however, I'm not convinced; I fin

I would suggest weighing up other aspects: reinforced concrete was widely used under the assumption that it was eternal, or simply without considering how it would behave over time, and today a massive amount of infrastructure and buildings

It's simple: banks don't want the people they've fleeced to realise that they no longer have a role in the present age. If you let legal tender be exchanged directly via a central bank (which is semi-public by nature), banks

it's the best option after IllumOS (OpenSolaris) IPS integrated with ZFS. Far less powerful not imposing zfs (only well supported for root, swap, encryption etc), so not integrated in the package system and bootloader management (BEs,

Debian, like any other legacy distro, mush became declarative, because the '80s model of manual deploy and the absurd pain of D/I and Preseed must end.

You send emails to @gmail addresses most of the time, so... How you can avoid giving Alphabet (or some other giant) your messages? The point of ownership is having your mails in your hand, on your iron, anything who can talk IMAPs or even P

Honestly... No thanks. It's 2026, those who do not own a domain name should buy one an run their own Matrix/XMPP server.

Internet is not the web... And we do need to destroy boundaries to break walled gardens not creating new one for the joy of giants who knows their "oligopoly power"...

Radicle is a good answer, coupled with a reborn Usenet, maybe Nostr. We have like never before the ability to communicate and cooperate yet most fails to understand and implement that. Nearly any of us could run an XMPP/Matrix server a

I see no shame in that except a thing: devs should own their infra, instead of relaying on third parties. A thing too many still fails to understand.

For several reasons: - Nostr is generally much lighter; it can even be served behind Tor without having a public IP, there's no need to maintain a web server etc. There are compact, self-contained relays like Haven, for example, which

We simply need open, decentralized or distributed platforms. Nostr is not that excellent, but it works, and have a potential to became "unified personal web platform", take a look at it.

I prefer no filters instead, for one simple reason: who watches the watchmen? If we had a digital identity on a national blockchain run by open-hardware home servers and FLOSS software, where every node exists by virtue of digital identity,

And what exactly would be the purpose of age verification? Because defining someone "mature" based on their age is pretty hit-and-miss: we have plenty of adults, even of a certain age, who it's hard to imagine have ever finis

It's not impossible; it's their centralised model that is. It's unthinkable to have private platforms on modern mainframes (data centers) instead of distributed, decentralised services where everyone holds a piece (DHT) or wh
