It's just that controllable permanence and censorship blocking comes with trade-offs. And most people aren't fully aware of those trade-offs until it's too late.
More thinking should be done in terms of UX.

More thinking should be done in terms of UX.
What people want is not permanence or anti-censorship.
They want to feel safe in an increasingly scary world. I don't want psychos tracking me down and trying to ruin my life because I have a different opinion than them. I just want to have fun with my friends and be left alone.
“My knowlegde about Meshtastic is a bit limited, so I might get some details wrong, but from what I understand, Meshtastic is more or less an application. It is focused on carrying out a single task well, in a way that is easy to understand and deploy, but that also means that it will not really do anything else than that task, and stop working well if you push it close to, or outside, its intended operational domain.
Reticulum itself is a general purpose communications stack. It will handle any sort of digital communication for you, from sending a single data packet to sending messages or streaming a video call, to serving a library of all human knowledge. But it will not do so itself. Someone will have to write the applications that utilise Reticulum to do those tasks. This also means that Reticulum, in itself, will not allow anyone to have a chat with someone else. You need an application using Reticulum for that, and a Reticulum network.
Right now, only a handful of programs and applications exist that use Reticulum. One of those systems is LXMF, a distributed messaging protocol that enables direct (and offline) messaging between users and machines. There is currently several LXMF clients available that people can use on mobile devices and computers. This is similar to Meshtastic, in that they both serve the same end-goal, of sending messages between users.
I don't know how open or interoperable the Meshtastic protocol is, but I do know that LXMF is very open and easy to integrate in other system, and messages passed with LXMF can be transported over any number of mediums, such as LoRa, WiFi, packet radio or over the Inernet. And you can mix and match the mediums as you please. This is possible since the messaging system is built on top of Reticulum (a general purpose networking stack), and it then gains all the capabilities of it (such as efficient multihop routing, global addressing, strong encryption, good privacy and so on).
I hope this clarifies it a bit. If not please ask away and I will try to answer as best I can!“

Also there is a book called Programming from the Ground Up that starts with assembly and moves up to C and beyond.
Below is an example of a random insight:
> His article Cholesterol in Context states that aging “seems to be a state of cholesterol starvation.” In other words, the ability to make cholesterol diminishes as we age.

It's tough to synthesize his thought though. Whoever does and sells a popular level book of it will make a lot of money.
Manyverse[1] and Iris[2] are good examples of apps that will enable this more in the future.
I just want to search “harry potter” and see everything my friends have written about it. If I follow some institutions or encyclopedias, I should also see what they write about it. And I should be able to choose which sources I want to rank higher in search results.
Some kind of fork of DirtyLittleSQL looks like it is the solution!
They claim to be building for the next hundreds of years, but you wouldn’t know it.
If a tertiary goal is to have job security, designing a more complex system could be in your favor.
Here is one example https://quii.gitbook.io/learn-go-with-tests/
Let people manage their account keys just like they manage their home or car keys.
Sitting in the sun however seems to do more than just “increase vitamin d levels”. The sensation is just overwhelmingly lovely. It seems to reduce cortisol, makes you feel tired in a euphoric way. Animals love to warm their fur in shafts of sunlight too.
Perhaps we should be thinking more in terms of joyful activities in general and less trying to biohack.
Can you explain what the problem is exactly? The infinitely small possibility that the same ID is generated for two different people?
What about Zig? I guess people don’t like the lack of libraries there?
That is what Snikket is trying to be. https://github.com/snikket-im
Considering the way in which Matrix spreads unencrypted metadata (even rooms and participants in the rooms, let alone chat events) as far as possible across the network, this traction is quite insidious.
I need to be able to make a room without threads (DMs, small group chats, etc). And clients should be able to see which features are enabled in each room and support them appropriately.
That is what a universal protocol would allow for.
A planet has just one Star that sponsors them in Urbit, but as a planet, you can choose to leave your Star and move to a different Star.
So you can also choose a different relay in Urbit. And yes, your Planet address is spawned by a Star, but you do fully own your address. It is separate in the sense that you can move it elsewhere.
