If you can name alternatives with similar functionality made by people who are not affiliated with crypto, I’m all ears

https://tox.chat/index.html maybe this, didn’t try it, but it says it has audio/video calls and file sharing.

How strict are you on going with full p2p, because xmpp is federated(not p2p) and it has nice network of servers working a long time and ok clients to use, Conversations being the best imo. Some of my friends switched their family and friends to xmpp and complaints at all

Why would you use it anyway ? If you want p2p chat there are options not connected to any blockchain, briar for example.

but if I don’t use it, where’s the harm?

The harm is already made by making this application. By using it you help spread idea that p2p=blockchain/crypto which is not the case. It’s just that cryptobros coopt word “p2p” into their language and supposedly they are p2p.

Same as you don’t have to use their micropayment, there is no reason to use this app also. There are real p2p options, as I said briar for example, or some other p2p chat app without cryptobros bullshit.

Payments Built In As your app grows, Holepunch lets you evolve into a business without compromises. With Bitcoin Lightning and USDt micropayments built-in, it’s easy to implement and use powerful paid features in apps. Peers control their own data, including how it’s bought and sold. The days of tokens, ads, hidden incentives, and data harvesting are over.

No thank you

Just a clash of big powers. For me I don’t care if it meta or tiktok spying, nor if it’s censored by US or China.

How is it not? You can download and run model locally, it’s open source same way llama is. Or am I missing something ? Is it maybe just the term issue, since model is not code, but a file with weights or whatever ?

Yes, but youtube has a network effect. Imo best option is to post on every network and favor federated ones. For example post first on peertube, couple days later on youtube. Or post part video on yt and full video on peertube.

Things like that are more effective than just plainly ignoring big tech networks. And that would actually show and bring the people to the federated networks.

We live in techno fuedalism

We live in capitalism. Calling it any other than capitalism just provides and option for capitalism to avoid critique. For example one can say the issue is techno feudalism, not capitalism. While in fact it is capitalism all the way down.

It’s simmilar when people use, this is “crony capitalism”, while it’s still just capitalism,

thanks, cool feature, didn’t know it exists, added to post

<3 thank youu

You(usa) and europe are the problem. I look forward to dissolution of your western imperial system so peoples of usa and europe truly get liberated and emanicpated

Look, Americans are tired of being the world police, entering into endless war and conflict, and it is time all our “allies” stepped up and sent their children to the battlefield.

Who ever asked for that ?

I really dislike these commercial “private” solutions to surveilance issues we have but people always seem to prefer them because of strong marketing around.

USA will come out stronger and better nation at the end of this

damn

what are containers in firefox ?

i ate the onion

aren’t there any methods, like some big hammer to smack it after you break that layer. you have all the time in the world, i wonder if it pays out to travel there smack the glass and take 3mil$

i doubt about that limit, think capitalism puts more limit on science now, i replied to some other comment in more details regarding this

I mean it’s all speculation I guess.

i agree, to achieve conditions to enable forming of free associations of workers first capitalism(capitalistic relations etc.) must be abolished which is hard thing to do already

Yes, science is complex, infrastructure is complex.

i don’t see loosely connected groups being able to solve that issue

these are not “loosely connected groups”, it’s not a group of friends doing a party, it’s a complete industry.

thing is to change relations in production and to work according to needs and with solidarity towards each other and other communities. try to look at it as complete system, not just pinhole view at just scientists interested in particles or whatever scifi there is. that federated system would have to solve food, housing, medicine, education and through solving that and enabling others to work in fields they are interested in would in the end enable space travel, or whatever scifi other there is.

i would say that within that system it would be easier to develop science and more pleasant and beneficial to society than in current capitalist one

I get your point, and I agree. But same applies to wikimedia, and I much rather prefer archive org than wikimedia. But why not both ?

And also it’s good practice to find some other non us, N-eyes countries archive services and host on there, on as many places as you can.

And of course torrents, but then you would need to somehow ensure seeders which doesn’t seem easy.

Free associations of workers would work on that, if they want to do it, if there is a need for it. Tbh I don’t see much need for going to the moon in this moment.
