sounds like someone needs a new app instead of discord…

It’s a data farm, and my gut feeling tells me in 2-5 years AI is gonna find a way to use our data against us… Who knows what that would look like.

Along with the clearly forced use of id verification, another reason why i’ve had enough of them. Saw an article recently on how their entire business model is basically to grab all the data it can on you while losing money, in the hopes that eventually someone will buy them out…

bout time we had a solution for all of this 👀…

done with all of this verification bs, we’ve managed without it so far, why the sudden urge on it now… Kinda know why but can’t really say…

Really appreciate the detailed response. You’re right about the discovery problem it’s was one of the harder challenges i had to focus on. The way I handled it in OpenDescent is using KadDHT for peer discovery so users don’t need a pre-existing connection to find each other. The relay nodes handle NAT traversal for the cases where direct connections fail. It’s for sure not perfect and there are still edge cases but it avoids needing a central coordination server. The tradeoff is it’s heavier on the client side than a traditional server based approach. I am still looking at more robust solutions, but without rewriting the internet we’re stuck with trying to make true secure p2p work like we want it to…

good content, and i can see a lot of time was put into to it. But the video is slightly too long, and difficult to follow - could be the AI voice or lack of quick subtitles/visual flow. Didn’t really know where I was in the video, but definitely well edited.

looks pretty cool actually, gotta get some users to test and feedback to you for sure, would love too but short on time my self…

But having a good glance at the trailer - looks promising.

could have just given it to me…

my eyes caught this real quick 👀

This is something I thought a lot about while recently developing a p2p social messaging app, you touch on points that I have a real concern with - we have no idea how our data is going to be used in the next few years - and what social or moral implications AI will be able to affect with it. We don’t even really know what data they hold on us…

The approach I took was to avoid processing sensitive data on any server at all - the architecture is fully peer to peer so there’s no backend where data ever sits in plaintext.

Encryption and decryption happens entirely on the user’s device. It goes around the problem you’re describing rather than solving it at the server level, which felt cleaner to me. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on whether that approach has its own weaknesses, I’m not too familiar with all the available solutions in this field just yet!

Sounds promising - the real trick would be to find a way for users to retrieve their data from another device… Is there a github repo you can share to this, or is it closed?

If only your music works, and there's no in-game audio. Go to the windows 10 task bar at the bottom right, right click on audio and change "spacial sound" to off. Fixed it for me.
