Where exactly is the disk image? can't find it on the repo (also, github redesign removed file size?!?!)

> Netflix.

In this one case they are right.

it was game-over to your opinion when you purchased their product and use a proprietary client to connect to the their proprietary servers.

If they want to break every single feature, while also denying access to older versions of the client, there's nothing you can do. Besides cancelling the membership, that is. But in this case there is nothing the changelog that would have helped you.

...all that is the complete opposite of Mozilla though.

> more of a Universal Operating System.

not to say more trusted.

trust surveys over anecdotes anytime

Lol. did it fall too close to home?

Read my comment again and you will notice there's not a single comment against or in favour of tech. Not even an adjective next to tech, only to people.

The comment is exactly that some people can't tell the difference between two completely identical techs, just because they buy the marketing of one of them, despite it being a brand on top of the first.

Google is the new IBM.

Saying to your boss that the VP of something is incompetent and made a crappy site will get you fired. Saying there's this new Tech at google coded by god himself will get you a new cost-center and a promotion.

For the company, it will turn out as nice as it turned out to all those places renting mainframe contracts well into the 2000s.

> "megacorporations" are the faceless evil enemy

There are some irony on the text, but to understand this is very naive.

The critic is at malicious/dumb people who latch to technologies without understanding them.

For argument sake, see how many people are defending coreOS etc, and how they claim to have decided to like it based on their superb expertise, yet they will likely fail to explain to you chroot or anything else containers are based on. Or how they will proclaim that LXC is pure garbage and Docker is better (i will not explain the joke, let them downvote :)

Bottom line: we are being sold bad ideas from the past, in new clothing, by the incompetents/malicious people, which megacorp is made of.

describe the steps to release the simplest ever code in javascript to production: write a js file, host it, done.

The same thing in TS adds at least one step (not to mention the rest of the tooling you will want)

So while a prefer it over JS, there's no arguing that it is more complex as now you require a build step for a language that only exist because people wanted a language without a build step.

Your company running on it (and not flatcar, heh) is what shows a massive misunderstanding of the market.

Just because people buy snake oil, it doesn't make it a good product.

You client is politely sending items your peers are requesting, to try to find peers for them in your peer network, without having to flood everyone with irrelevant peer lists.

And this site (which i guess is just a couple lines of python collecting the data) is not bothering to distinguish any of the finer details.

you should forget whatever you read and start over :)

The purpose of it is exactly to help you find other peers with the same content. It's a bunch of peer finding protocols on top of each other. Trackers, DHT, peer xchange, etc, etc

I mean, the data itself is all hashes, but very public hashes. Unless you hashed it yourself and shared only the hash ever, the reverse hash is a websearch away.

I'd bet that was a bouncer/client set address, for the joke.

Sigh, people probably trust things like this today because FB(whatsapp)/Google/slack/discord forces you to sign up with valid phone numbers and probably expose that as your ID.

With encryption, if anyone join as a peer NOT to join the torrent distribution, is that considered computer hacking under the DMCA?

when conservative means conservation of the oligopoly, then yes.
