These IPFS issues are basically UI-related. You wouldn’t expect a torrent to start within 2 seconds. You wouldn’t expect your torrent to be shared autonomously either. Technically, sharing IPFS hashes along with release names (similar to the crc32 on pre databases) would be very efficient, if only it was popular with a proper UI and indexing tooling. These hashes could even be signed by scene groups in the nfo.

It is not anonymous and suffers network fragmentation. Yet the force of Bittorrent is its large community and mature performant tooling (compared to IPFS).

I’d say yes. The user base / visibility of i2p torrent is pretty limited though. You can have a look at the Postman i2p tracker.

“a fork of the protocol” does not make any sense. Do you even know what forking means?

Don’t know who exactly you are interested in, here are some random known accounts:

Regarding individuals, I’m following a bunch of software developpers. I’m mostly interested in topics, hence I prefer Lemmy by far.

I am doing 5-10$ rounds of donations (4-10 projects each generally) to my favourite projects too on a regular basis. I favor XMR transactions as is it largely accepted those days and fees are appropriate for such low amounts.

A phone server that is disconnected from cellular is already broken anyways.

Palworld is another kind of game playable multiplayer on xbox/pc.

my favourite is Amazon’s:

• buy without prime (2$ shipping fees)
• buy with prime (free shipping)

exept you must pay amazon prime 10$ and it’s a monthly recuring subscription.

I use Gthumb for simple edits (croping, resizing, rotating…).

I uninstalled it quickly after finding out it was trialware (missing features; popups to pay)

I’m fine with Rofi. I’ve used xfce4-appfinder also, it’s less minimal, not configurable (good graphical defaults, might be what you want).

I guess if the copyright trolls got their way, there would be no general purpose computing.

Exactly. These kinds of statements are so naive.

the Android VLC is absolutely different from the desktop version.

I read the users can blacklist instances already, from the latest Lemmy release note.

I’m struggling to get something done with this stack. This will certainly provide some inspiration, thanks!

I don’t get it; if I pay my taxes in my country of residence, how is it illegal to work for a foreign entity ?

Why would I need a visa if I stay in my own country ?

Not sure why they used sha256 though, it mostly defeats the goal of protecting from bots (those can get access to ASICs, as oposed to regular users).

Wao didn’t know this one, impressive thx for sharing !

Totally agree with that, Lemmy is the value proposition for just that.
