I’m not sure how it is truly decentralized. Distributed and alternative, but a users data doesn’t appear to be decentralized - I see no mention of even using torrent or IPFS type system to break the data apart.
This is ridiculous - bold claims require evidence and I see no reason to think this is true:
It seems like, over the years, so much effort has gone into all these various attempts but few are really innovating - instead they just take what exists and cobble together some bridges … then off to marketing their “innovative product”.
I’m all in favor of diversity, but it feels a bit sad to me. I wish them luck though.
I’ll post a message asking questions on their forum. I’ll ask about breaking data up as Tor or IPFS does. Any other questions?
Im kinda curious how it uses almost 10 times less energy. They dont say what theyre comparing it to though.
As if this wasn’t enough…
Sister od mine friend Is in one od these big pharma compenies and She Is saying the same. Plenty money, holidays and everyone is happy to ve working there.
What are the Twitter users here thoughts on paying for Twitter Blue?
I figured I would spend the $5 for one month today to “see” if it is crap I can cancel.
So far, seen none of the promoted tweets +1
The thread reader is nice +1
My initial thoughts were, never going to pay.
My thoughts are changing to I would happily pay more for zero advertising, that is currently not on the table though, just less.
Current impression, it is better.
If you are against ads, paying for the service is logical.
All you have to pay is the $$ needed for an old Pi and a few mins to set up pi-hole.
The only time I see ads at home is on the phone and I forgot to switch off mobile data.
I cannot recommend https://pi-hole.net/ enough.
Really must get round to setting it up on a VPN so I can be totally ad free on the phone as well
I will have to take a look. My limited experience with ad blocking has not been great, which is why it is limited.
What I have tried did not neccesarily improve the experience overall.
I think part of my point above was also why do soo many people seem angry and moany about an opt in pay for extra features service.
Have we reached peak stupidity yet?
Just wondering if I could get myself a disabled parking badge 
Hillary Clinton is looking to Europe to fill the vacuum and called upon her European counterparts to pass a massive censorship law to “bolster global democracy before it’s too late.”
Good ol’ Hillary - always looking out for the little guy. gotta “save democracy” with censorship. umm, hmm, pretty sure that’s not how democracy works Hill.
This is good news - Nigeria’s CBDC is flopping as Nigerian’s prefer to use Bitcoin.
Blundtruss … one minute after the pipelines were destroyed. 
Perhaps our best collective defense is to communicate openly and speak our thought crimes freely, swamp the powers that be with the sheer volume of them right in the open, and simply claim our freedom of expression by our everyday conduct.
and re Megaupload > the idea was hatched and no force can uninvent it. It’s a story worth remembering and researching. Ultimately, its time will come.
r.i.p. Takeoff
1/5 of Solana validators/stake kicked offline by Hetzner.
No cryptocurrency on their servers is apparently in the terms.
I assume we fall under that exclusion.
That will increase true decentralization more and remove too much centralized usage of single hosting companies.
Agreed for sure. Nodes from home should be the default.
Good to keep in mind how easy a large chunk of nodes can go offline if they decide to boot you.
Would be nice to know how concentrated all these networks nodes are and which hosting company has the lions share.
I keep wanting to look at Akash but time is so damn scarce.
