Yep - same use case, too. I'll keep persisting and see if I can get through.

Yep! And I bet it'll turn out in a few decades that it will come out they were also behind the Doomerism we're seeing a lot of on social media these days. "Well it's too late so why try?" Is much more comfortable than "We have to sacrifice a lot of comfort, but if we all try really hard we can do it."

Weird thought, you ever think oil executives have nightmares about a global collective wanting to bring them to the guillotine?

You can find plenty of bootleg printer ink around, you just have to ensure you have a printer that isn't locked to the manufacturers ink.

Thank you for sharing your nutsac. I've been looking for a good one to play with for a while now and I just know I'm going to have fun with this one! My kids are gonna love this!

Oh my god, I've just realised how much of my life has passed. Similar timeline to you. I'm starting to think my kids will be teenagers by the time it comes out.

There's even a chance, if the time between releases increases, I might not make it to the next one after this.

BECAUSE I understand it more now, I’m left feeling VERY uncomfortable about my data security. If this is going to become a mainstream thing, as it reaches and before it gets to that critical mass of users, there’s going to be SO. MANY. SECURITY ISSUES. There’s no 2fa at all, hacking and user-account hacking is just going to run rampant, and I’m left wondering ‘Where is my username and password actually stored?’. The answer, sadly, is wherever the dude who’s running the instance/server is.

I wonder if IPFS would be better suited for the fediverse for this reason? You've brought up some solid points here and if history is anything to go by, it's likely already seeing some exploitation in the wild. I think there's likely to be a lot of work needed here. For example: Your cookies store JWTs in base85. Nice!

Reddit's unwavering stubbornness to continue spiraling is just plain sad. What a way to go.
