Do you think federated protocols have a future or will everyone

>>57431521
There's an article on LWN from earlier this year with none other than Moxie Marlinspike arguing against federation for Signal, in response to people complaining about it's dependency on Google code and servers.

Which is profoundly discouraging. Companies and governments want everything centralized because they want a single control point that they can twist on. And devs want centralization because they want to write new stuff right now and not have to fight any political battles, and a centralized protocol makes that a lot easier. And in doing so, they act as enablers for the above-mentioned companies and governments when they should instead be fighting to reduce the amount of power they can wield. They're making a horrible compromise to speed things up when one of slowing things down would be a good thing.

Devs write centralized networking stuffs because it's easier, more efficient (only one connection need to be opened) and arguably more secure (in some ways).
For example, making a peer to peer games is pretty much impossible if you're targeting low latency. As for security, the only viable model is bitcoin but this requires a large amount of "mining", a.k.a "wasted computational power", to create proofs that the network isn't being manipulated.

Judging how someone asked me today what a GIF is, I'd say centralized services are the future because 99.99% of people don't know the difference.

False, you can lower the amount of time required to mine, you obviously don't know shit about blockchain so please stop posting about it you retarded faggot

Then teach me senpai?

Or not, just kill yourself you hateful worthless kid.

How about you teach yourself before you talk about it

How about you stop shitposting if you don't want to be an useless piece of shit?

>>57433510
No, go fuck yourself, you're posting false information and refuse to educate yourself, how about you

>>57433582
>Posting false information
That's the point. If you care so much about this thread, why don't you post what you think is correct instead of insulting me with random nonsense?

Also, I'm unwatching this thread and not going to read your answer. I'm not gonna waste more time with some lonely autistic kid. :^)
