  I have a few colleagues that are very skilled and likeable people, but have horrible digital etiquette (40-50 year olds).

  Expecting people to read regurgitated gpt-summaries are the most obvious.

  But another one that bugs me just as much, are sharing links with no annotation. Could be a small article or a long ass report or white paper with 140 pages. Like, you expect me to bother read it, but you can’t bother to say what’s relevant about it?

  I genuinely think it’s well intentioned for the most part. They’re just clueless about what makes for good digital etiquette.

  There can be an unlimited no. of connections (peers). Remember the bittorrent days, where you could seed to and download files from many peers simultaneously? You can do the same with data streams, f.ex. video and audio. Try Keet if you want to see a practical example. We don’t need data centres for video conferences or calls.

  If I’m having a video meeting p2p instead of microsoft teams running in the cloud, that would reduce power consumption, not increase it.

  How about reducing our dependence on data centres by using software that is more peer to peer and local first etc?

  Of course some data centres have legitimate use cases, such as big data analysis on weather and climate data etc, but building huge data centres for social media and running everything in the cloud is silly from an environmental perspective

  P2P + IoT could be great for safety and privacy. We should just remove the middle men (datacentres, servers) so that data travels between the devices you own, and not via some data vampire trying to get in the way.

  Just try and see for yourself. Like I said, only tried Keet. Features

  • Share files as big as you like, 2m, 2g, 2t, doesn’t matter
  • Windows, linux, ios, android
  • Groups, dm’s, broadcast feed
  • No phone number or email needed, add by alias/link/qr
  • Unlimited call quality since theres no server in between or throttling
  • Share emojis, gifs, videos (no stickers or self-destruct atm)

  I’ve been using Keet for a couple of months now, really like it. Still in beta, but you can ask questions to the devs in the open chat rooms and they actually give you sound answers

  Absolutely, people still need money. So P2P would not solve that bit, but at least the donations can go directly towards content creation rather than having to cover server costs as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The YouTube Alternative Nobody's Talking About ! Peertube⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe a silly idea, but what about a P2P-based video hosting! Hear me out:

  We have more computing power and bandwith in our homes than ever before. We know that sharing data and files via P2P works, is resiliant against attacks, and scales really well.

  No server costs mean that people could support creators by seeding the content to other peers. One cool thing about that would be seeing how you are making a difference, in real time.

  I’m lost for words.

  …what if the whole family is watching? Does everyone have to raise their hands and yell “McDonalds”? Including the kids?

  This might just as well be used in “smart” fridges. “Do this corporate dance to get 20% off your next Corn Flakes”

  Is this real?? Do you have the source?

  Check out this guy and his research if you haven’t already. Confirms what you describe, with some rally alarming numbers and data to back it up
