How is clamping down on the freedom companies have to make plastic cheese, and the freedom for people to buy it... Libertarian?

Isn't that pretty authoritarian?

Yeah!

Now hopefully they can enable HDR video playback within the next few years (bug open for 5 years at this point)

Well... Say that to my live USB I tried booting off of a machine with a very modern nVidia card. I had to create a new boot entry to disable nouveau and install nVidia proprietary graphics into a persistent partition.

I understand nVidia is shit, and doesn't play nice with others. But my point is - it's not always that easy. (I thought it would be! I lost many hours, and pulled out lots of hair!)

What gets me really excited is the idea of messaging in low internet connectivity areas (aeroplanes (to someone else on the plane)) on the subway/underground

The idea of Bluetooth/WiFi direct mesh, with "internet gateway" devices (maybe those people are rewarded in some way)

In this dream of mine, people can communicate, send data, through non ideal internet conditions (maybe one person on an aeroplane has internet, and they are the gateway for others)

There may be some relay servers running on AWS or whatever, but people could also run their own relays (I guess all devices are a relay)

I've tried to get this working myself, using a library called "reticulum" I found in GitHub (good library, but I couldn't get Bluetooth/WiFi mesh working)

I'm not seeing any WiFi direct/Bluetooth mesh capability with Simplex

It looks like a p2p messenger - which is cool, but that's not what tickles my pickle

And if someone can't afford a car, and they live within a car-centric area of the world, and they can't afford to move?

Maybe they make a gamble and buy a car with the hope it will be an investment, and provide them with more income...

But when interest rates have been at near zero for over a decade, and now they have shot up - it could upset quite a lot of finances!

My mouth waters at the idea of decentralised, infrastructure-less, encrypted, p2p, mesh messaging

Thanks for pointing me towards Berty!
