Some day will we look back on Cinco De Mayo 2025 as the date it all started?

Amen

Straddles the boundaries between software and hardware

And yet everybody involved in the lawsuit still buys food packaged in plastic, with drinks in plastic, buys their kids toys of plastic, and drives a car that couldn't function without plastic.

This is assuming Apple is sitting still. Which they are not. They are claiming to beat the M3 Air (fanless) which is a shipping chip, and not even their highest performing variant; but it's not a stretch to assume Apple is working on an M4 that will outperform the M3 and therefore the Qualcomm. But hey, I'm good with these two companies taking turns leapfrogging each other -- consumers win.

The new Freenet is written in Rust.

lol - same thing with pilots ;)

Thank you!

You're very welcome :)

When the new Freenet is up and running, I think it will be the first system of any kind that could host something like wikipedia, not just the data but the wiki CMS system it's built on. An editable wikipedia, entirely decentralized and very scalable.

I think when the history of the last decade is written, it will be about - in part - the terrible social damage caused by opaque and biased social media algorithms manipulating the public discourse.

Locutus is primarily designed for decentralization, not anonymity - which will make it less suited to IP theft than various other technologies that are already pervasive, the same is true of a lot of the other "people you don't want to be your early adopters" that you mention. It's definitely a risk for systems like Freenet, but it's a manageable risk.

Most of the negative comments so far are from people who I doubt spent 20 seconds looking at our site, so I hope they don't color your judgement. Read through our user manual and form your own opinion.

Once there are viable alternatives on Freenet we'll use them.

I think the time is right, which is exactly why I'm doing what I'm doing :)

Totally agree about the importance of naming, and Freenet has the advantage of literally describing what we're building - a free network.

We've already had interest from everyone from video game developers who want to build a decentralized MMORPG, to political advocacy groups across the political spectrum. Plenty of people value freedom.
