it doesn’t need NAT topology, at all. There is literally zero reason to use it. Direct P2P networking is so much easier over ipv6

IF ONLY WE COULD USE IPV6 WE WOULDNT BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM
YES FUCK YOU TOO COMCAST.
yknow, i would like to see reported figures as to why discord isn’t actually able to host file sizes over a certain size…
you’d still need to front it on the bot farm side though. Shit’s still costly.
Regardless, if it’s not enough, just make it more lmao.
now we just need nile red to synthesize insulin. We’ll be set once that happens.
i dont self censor, it’s about a 50 50, as to be expected per random stats. Or at least that’s what it feels like, it’s probably better than that lmao.
It’s just numbers, it’s not going to kill you lol.
it’s a one time cost at creation of the account. Or at least that should be the idea.
most of the time this “expensive” compute is just openAI
it would only be generated the first time, and possible rerolls down the line.
Also what if I’m someone poor using an extremely basic smartphone to connect to the internet?
just wait, it’s a little rough, but it’s worth it. 10 hours overnight would be reasonable. Even longer is more so if you limit CPU usage. The idea is that creating one account takes like 10 minutes, but creating 1000 would simply take too much CPU time in order to be worth the time.
it would have to be fundamental to the platform, i believe a few platforms have something similar where this generates a unique “key” used to identify the user.
I think I2P does this?
nothing wrong with tankies, they just need to speak better LMAO.
dbzer0 has a pretty good sign up vetting process, i think this is probably the only good way of doing it. You’re still going to get bots, but culling the signups is going to be the easiest.
TL;DR just move over to dbzer0 and dont leave the instance :)
Also i think on sites like reddit, a lot of the downvoting is just “mass protest” theory in action, people see a comment with downvotes and then downvote it. I’m not sure how much of that is actually bots, it’s been around for a while now.
this makes a weird amount of sense ngl
unless this is provably and demonstrably true, this is definitely not true, because up until now, this has been entirely speculation.
It is weird that your comment was removed.
yeah idk i’ve seen weird shit happen a few times so far, btw if you’re a mod and remove shit, please tell people why even if its literally just quoting what they said that got it deleted.
Right this is the contradiction I was poking fun at.
yeah, if you’re a globalism absolutist that would be silly, but tariffs are a useful market force, they allow competition in market sectors that wouldn’t otherwise exist. Farming gets a lot of subsidies for these reasons, and when we’re talking about shit like non essentials a chinese EV specifically, the implications of it on the market are a lot less significant than something like tariffing AA batteries produced outside of america.
The trump admin tariffed canadian lumber imports. Why? There’s a reason they have a lumber industry, it’s because they can do it for cheaper than we can (they have a lot more wooded lands, and a lot less people living there)
yes a 100% tariff on EVs is quite significant, but then again, we have a massive domestic auto manufacturing capability, as well as a general lack of need for “foreign EVs” it might make the market cheaper and more accessible, but that’s coming eventually anyway.
Personally, I prefer the carrot to the stick approach. I think we should do more stuff like the chips act and less stuff like tariffs. This is especially true in the context of technology that aids in the transition to an economy that uses less fossil fuels. The ~$10,000 Chinese EVs would be a pretty massive tool in that arsenal. (Though not as good of a tool as they are in China because of China’s genuinely impressive rail system.) If you want more American made EVs —cool so do I— but we will get there faster with the right industrial policy. The tariffs do little to make that happen.
i’m generally inclined to agree especially on a federal level, IMO i think that tariffs generally have a really subtle market effect, and i think that’s generally the intention of them. They aren’t meant to be massive blanket sweeps. If you really wanted to incentivize people to own EVs you wouldn’t import them at 0% tariff, you would just subsidize owning or buying an EV. You would just make it more accessible, you fund domestic production and development of EVs.

funnily enough my comment was removed, unsure why, pretty sure it was mostly accurate though lol.
I’m sure you have some very unkind words for Biden after he continued and expanded Trump’s trade war.
it’s a fine balance between putting a 20% tariff on literally every import (i believe trump wanted to do this) and putting a 100% tariff on chinese EVs to give the american auto market a leg to stand on.
It’s a give and take, like everything is. But regardless, globalism is generally good for the economy.
that is a potential problem, though im sure there’s a vim user somewhere that’s fixed it with a bind set.
a text editor that has a tutor because it’s been around for so long and it’s had so many years to establish itself with an outside control interface that’s quite literally about as optimal as it can be. Vim basically allows you to never move your hands away from the homerow keys, even when navigating and doing bulk edits. The sheer amount of gained speed and productivity you get from this combined with the amount of times you’ll have to deal with text editing throughout your life is probably going to outweight any potential learned annoyances.
this is true, but the problem is that it’s really complicated, and not always reliable. Mostly due to NATing within the networks. Firewalls don’t help but you can get around those easily enough.
There’s no guarantee that you’ll get a reliable P2P network connection over a NAT unless one peer isn’t NATed. Which is unlikely.
TL;DR we would probably ddos the internet very quickly if we tried at the scale of something like discord.
