Count yourself downvoted for disguising your own combativeness as didactic neutrality, not being pinpoint-factual and on-topic and for actually being out to get me with your downvote for disagreeing with people who you think were right.

Oh boy, all my points are definitely beaten with this single one of ineffable precision and efficiency!

What you need is to learn to reinforce your opinion with counterarguments instead of allegorically admitting your inability to formulate them.

- Comment sections getting closed for anonymous replies almost everywhere over the course of the last 15 years

- Undisguised surveillance becoming the new normal

- Confinement of all communication to a handful of platforms

- Snowden's disclosures

- Huge datacenters built by NSA to tap into telecom

- Crackdown on p2p sharing

- Push for The Cloud

- Closure of Lavabit and other independent email providers

- Rabid push for phone-based 2fa

- Ongoing merger and conglomeration of everything into a venture-fund-owned megacorporation invisible only for those who call these obvious practices "conspiracy theories" with religious zeal

- Failure of everything initially claimed to be decentrallized to live up the name, including blockchains, IPFS etc

These and many other similar issues combined don't quite make for an illusion that the govenments are willing to allow us to communicate freely via a greater number of tapping and datamining points than they could possibly manage.

Now burn this heretic!

I expected that someone would plant this prefabricated gag phrase of "conspiracy theory" as an argument, thanks for confirming my gut feeling.

All ipv6 shortcomings discussion aside; What I think is the more vital problem to focus on is that the governments clearly don't want us mere mortals to expose our own servers running on our own hardware to the outside world (most often justifying that with "it's for your own security" mantra, for we're all deemed too dumb to figure that out for ourselves).

ISP-imposed ipv4 double NAT (imposed on ISPs by the governments, I am pretty sure about that) reduces our devices to all but dumb receivers which are scarcely superior to TV sets. And no amount of STUNning and TURNing, or buying VPSes can realistically fix this situation, when we can't simply connect our devices directly without resorting to some service provided by some Men in the Middle. And it gets worse, 10 years ago I could buy a static public IP from my ISP for some affordable extra - all ports open unless blocked manually in my firewall - nowadays there remain no ISP around to sell those to the general public. Just no such option anymore. Too much freedom it gave, I guess.

So this begs the question: can ipv6 fix that? Will ipv6 fix that? I'm afraid not.

It's easy to gag opponents with "conspiracy theories" when you don't cut through the actual message. Academician Andrey Sakharov also did his work thinking it will lead to good things. Later in his life he had the gut to admit he was wrong. A researcher's good intentions and the actual use of his product when it falls into the hands of those who sponsored the work are orthogonal.

You parsed my sarcasm right.

It's apt that you bring up another leader, whose ostensible independence from big-money-driven agendas went up in smoke with his initial refusal, then embarrassed acceptance of the CoC that was peremptorily imposed on the Linux project.

True that, and I am pretty sure that humble, modest and good-intentioned guys working on a project that attracts the biggest sharks in the business can certainly fight against trillion dollar assets of the latter with their bare scientific rigor and austerity to defend their work from any possible overtake.

I hope everyone else also shares this belief, this is how we create belief systems that outlive their subjects and may go on to float freely among platonic solids and spherical cows in vacuum, forever.

Unconditional free money for everyone. Nice story for 5 yo children, but not for those who have even the most basic of grasps on the history of the humankind.

Unconditional as in mousetrap cheese it will be.

Everyone is free to indulge in naivety all day long, believing the legend that Vitalik is just a nice independent guy who does all of this for the greater good and does not care about money, but the entities behind him are quite notorious for exactly the opposite:

By May 2017, the nonprofit organization (Enterprise Ethereum Alliance) had 116 enterprise members, including ConsenSys, CME Group, Cornell University's research group, Toyota Research Institute, Samsung SDS, Microsoft, Intel, J. P. Morgan, Cooley LLP, Merck KGaA, DTCC, Deloitte, Accenture, Banco Santander, BNY Mellon, ING, and National Bank of Canada. By July 2017, there were over 150 members in the alliance, including MasterCard, Cisco Systems, Sberbank, and Scotiabank.

Seems most likely that you're not the chosen one to hype this new shiny trendy thing, so it doesn't waste precious CPU cycles on you.

It is only if you have truly, zealously dedicated your life to promote ChatGPT in mainstream IT circles, as in getting paid to do so, only then will it completely unleash its vast potential into the reply form, writing you a desktop OS in Brainfuck that is ready to compete with Linux, OSX and Windows, proving the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, simulating 2^1024 qubit machine that cracks 4096 bit RSA, finding out 23 hidden bugs in x86 microcode, telling you which gene to edit to get rid of peanut allergy, etc etc etc, all at your correctly formulated finger snap.

Full disclosure: this reply was generated with ChatGPT.

Feed it some CMake files from llvm repository and ask it why would the windows build with LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="all" keep failing, so that it chokes to death in its infancy, and save the humankind before it's too late and there are autonomous human zappers and T-1000s berserking all over the place.

That's reversible with due determination!

Now, me personally, I seek determination as hard as I can, but keep finding only useless crumbles of it, seeing the way things evolve around me. It takes an enormous inner stoic to become e.g. a painter these days when AI imagery is all the rage. Or maybe an inner visionary, for this AI fad might be destined to be blown away as dust by a fresh breeze of spring...

If you want to feel, pursue art, not soulless tech.

Wait, tech has got that covered too...

At least we can still ride our bikes.

This is how you promote a technocrat to be later put in the role of the head of one world government:

You censor, mute, cancel all dissent for years. You turn homes to prisons and enforce inhumane conditions for people to just be able to "get back to normalcy". You turn voluntary to compulsory. You deprive people of individuality by defacing them with masks. You school their obedience with barefaced surveillance. You edit the hell out of living language with bullshit like replacing "he/she" with "they", infesting it with newspeak, you make up 100500 new gender identifications that all camouflage the same psychic disorder, you deluge all the key platforms with hordes of shills, trendsetters and discourse steersmen. You start senseless wars with the only goal of reducing as many human beings to dust as possible. You implant terms like "tin-foil hat" and "conspiracy theorist" as a prefabricated gag, you discredit by associating all independent thinking with lunacies like Flat Earth. All in all, you do your best to make this society a hell to live in for everyone having the guts to tell a spade a spade, or at least to recognize the underlying roots of one's cognitive dissonance. You boil it until it all but blows up.

Then you start moving the queen, that is, the so-called "self-made man" who invented PayPal (not), personally developed the blueprints of Falcons and Teslas (not) and has now been saving the world (not) from the oppression of all things mentioned above by jail-breaking Twitter from the tentacles of censorship, thus winning himself an army of supporters, especially among young, idealistic and geeky. Then you probably make him a key figure in exposing the medical fascism of Corona Era and stopping all the bloodshed stirred up by the "incompetent national governments" of the world.

Then, one day, "ladies and gentlemen (sic!), meet the first President of the World!"

Screenshot this comment when it's almost faded to ivory, with all the cavils replied, to prove that the gist of it wasn't that obvious for everyone back in the day - or maybe that I was wrong, hopefully.

Simply fascinating! Would be immensely cool to be able to export to SVG.

We're two now here.

I don't feel anything personal towards inanimate things like software and corporations, even less so do I want them to treat me personally. For I know that all such plausible pretensions are in fact nothing but mercenary.

Mozilla, why won't you ask your users if they need your products to be personal?

No thanks, I'll rather wait for CSS5 to thoroughly enjoy my hvlhlvh and t23ccwsvh units (held vertically in left hand large viewport height and tilted 23 degrees counter-clockwise small viewport height)
