the idea that debian has a few million dollars to spare creates the assumption, that even if they would have... you would either not know how to fix issues, or not worth it.
> What will we end up with? Only attested modems / endpoints in the home?
you might laugh/cry, but there was a time in germany, when the telephone at home was owned by the state (the "Post") and you were NOT allowed to tinker with it.
personally, i guess, things like sneakernet, lorawan and hamradio will become a lot more popular over time.
> Couldn't NSA have not known about an issue with ML-KEM, and thus wanted to prevent its commercial acceptance, which it did simply by approving the algorithm?
Could, but they did not do that. So, the question is to be stated: Why?
I cannot wait until it's in an appstore for android and that it will work with android/iphone together. And i seriously hope you do not abandon it. That being said, i have questions:
1. When i have a higher version, but others have a lowerpaid version, can i still connect to more members, or am i constrained by the lowestpaying customer in the network?
2. Do you have reproducible builds?
3. airdrop sadly only works with iphones, how will this be done with android?
4. would it be a possibility, that after some time you made decent money, you consider a even higher paid stage, where i can fully build the best /most feature version myself? just in case you ever leave the project?
5. https://github.com/RedGridMGRS/RedGridMGRS is a 404 for me?
6. Would it be possible you also use openstreetmap or better to say integrate map loading from there?
7. Would you consider adding something like https://www.fixphrase.com / what3words-alternative into the app, so coordinates could be uses with phrases?
Would it be possible, that the storage of pypi/whatever is some s3 bucket, where you have it encrypted (with authentication), and when you deliver it to a client, you get it, decrypt it, test for authentication and deliver it to the client? the encryption is something that artipie is lacking sadly.
> This potential shouldn't prevent our inventing new kinds of tool.
Why do i see someone who wants to build an atomic bomb for shit and giggles using this argument, too? As hyperbole as my argument is, the argument given is not good here, as well.
The immutable linux people build tools, without building good tools which actually make it easier for private people at home to adapt a immutable linux to THEIR liking.
