You know, it’s like you’re walking through the forest, enjoying its beauty, and then you don’t notice how a hungry bear attacks you, even though you were warned about it.
What a shame, when the trap snaps it will be very painful…
You must log in or # to comment.
And here I am, making a decentralised sharing protocol (you can use it for a secure chat app, facebook-like sites, just sharing and more), all encrypted, takedown safe and ready to go.
And no one is interested.
I’m not saying you should try to help me out, but it seems that an upvote or the occasionnal “nice, looks interesting” post is the most people can actually muster these days 🤷🏻♀️.
Are even the nerds overworked nowadays?
Is there more info on this somewhere? I’ve been pretty fascinated by that sort of thing since I started using IPFS and Peergos.
You can check out the lot here, I also have a small lemmy community.
At a first glance it can be seen as an IPFS but you can update the data (so keep the same link), and it should be quite easy to set up.
I remember commenting on one of your tenfinger posts that I’ll give it a go. Since then I’ve had crunch at work and decided this week I’m off to a sunny beach, sans laptop. I guess you could say that…
Hey no pressure!!
I just vented some general frustration of mine 😊. If it doesn’t happen then it’s not the thing meant to happen, not the right time or space or thingy. Maybe next time 😁!
Cheers and take care.
A lot of things that appear to take off organically by being good, later turn out to have had a big expensive team running the guerilla marketing behind it. It’s pretty much impossible to just make something good and have it be successful on its own merits without someone marketing it.
Ouch 🤕, yeah I can see that being part of it.
I have refrained from saying you can share porn, music etc with it, or other potentially illegal files, but one part why I did it was so that anyone can have access to anything, like the wikipedia. I also dug down in the legal realm to verify it can be used legally, because your node shares things you have no control over.
/End of rant 😋
So guerilla marketing you say? Hmm. It’s a bit the snake biting its tail, if no one uses it, no one speaks of it. Guess I’ll continue some raids here on Lemmy… Thanks, and any new advice greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Nerds are busy explaining everyobe they aren’t Elon Musk fans contrary to popular belief tbf.
Well can I spark your curiosity with a sharing protocol instead of a not-selfdriving car?
I don’t feel this analogy works, when you think about it. What’s the “trap”? People trying to control what others say? That’s always been the case. And if I knew about it decades ago, I should have… what? Not expressed myself freely? Nah, fuck that.
my interpretation, at least:
the trap is the government (the US’ in this example, perhaps) promising freedom of speech/unlawful search and seizure; but then terrorizing and inflicting violence upon those whose opinions they disagree with, but much more regularly and openly.
Those trapped think they are protected from such retaliation because they have ignored/permitted/trivialized the systemic violence against marginalized groups that has been prevalent for centuries. They ignore the signs of their country’s propensity for fascism, and its intentional increase of brazenly hateful rhetoric and policies.
But they are by no means exempt, and many won’t realize that until it’s too late.
It’s fine, they can always chew their foot off.
It’s an allusion to chat control, banning books, etc. No good person wants that kind of control or power. But they are always misled into thinking that it’s necessary somehow to protect the public or protect the children. The sort of people, they think such control and legislation would be levied against. Actively seek it out, to wield it against the people who would hinder them.
Watching newgrounds and salad fingers was a lot different than being attacked by a bunch of religious socio politicicists.
All the people who trusted a social media company with their govt ID ^
Maybe people should understand we have no power and stop funding the beasts.
The best thing people can do now is to band together, preferably offline, to accumulate resources, weapons, and learn autonomy, critical thinking, and fortitude.
Just wait, these monsters have prepared for us the next pandemic, worse than COVID, and during this they will force us to adopt a new, fully digital CBDC system, and this will most likely happen either in 2027 or before the end of 2030. Although one can prepare for surprises in 2026 as well.
