@DemonSixOne @ForbiddenDreamer @Hoss @graf @ArdainianRight think of tor onion addresses, where the "name" is just a public key (6x7g7rr6fhdoszolkqkaittdr6qzgejjxoc42q4ceaph2xttmo5vgryd.onion) that is then used to connect securely to the web server. It means we can get rid of DNS and PKI at the same time. -

@ForbiddenDreamer @Hoss @graf @ArdainianRight ENS was always stupid because having names be human readable is a pointless goal and it has the same problem with squatters that DNS has. Making a digital resource scarce (only so many one letter domains available) isn't what we should want for next-gen DNS. -

@DemonSixOne @skylar @ArdainianRight @ForbiddenDreamer @graf @Hoss Readability is overrated, we have too many TLDs (.com, .me, .pride) so anyone trying to remember which it is will just use google anyway to look it up. Expecting people to remember domain names is very silly, and we gave up SO MUCH in pursuit of "readability". -

@skylar @ArdainianRight @DemonSixOne @ForbiddenDreamer @graf @Hoss The point is that with so many TLDs they aren't memorable. Domain squatters frequently make use of this inability remember if it's .com or .net, forcing site owners to pay for a whole bunch of similar domains to protect their brand because ICANN thought we needed .barefoot and .fail. The point of having a domain name over a bare IP is that IPs frequently change (new host/dc, CDN etc) while domain names should remain static. In today's DNS system, that's ALL they are good for. -

@skylar @ArdainianRight @DemonSixOne @ForbiddenDreamer @graf @Hoss That's not your brand, just like your street address isn't your brand. The sign on your door is your brand, not the nerd shit in your URL bar. We let them censor us and curse us with the shitty insecure DNS system in the name of "oh look, it says Nike in the url bar too!" -

@Goalkeeper @skylar tor solved this with onion addresses. Brave even as native tor support these days. -

@sickburnbro @shortstories Private company though. Do you want "bake the cake, bigot" with your "publish the tweet, Elon"? The internet was never a public place (thank god), access to it relies on corporations agreeing to connect with you. We need to stop crying about how unfair things are and start building our own network out. -

@LukeAlmighty Shout at them, it's the only thing they understand. It is through Karen-like behavior that changes get made, not by meek acceptance "oh that's just how the world is now" -

@sickburnbro Not the fault of capitalism, but you're right this is what happens when high trust is moving to low trust. If we want to survive it we need to stop assuming our peers will do right by us, and instead contractually obligate them to do so.
Businesses already do this to each other because they know there is no goodwill between corporations, so they formalize their relationships instead of pretending they aren't out there to maximize profit. There's a way to solve this, but we are too busy deluding ourselves into thinking we still live in a high trust environment. -

@Hoss @bronze @Eiswald @JedKron1248 @LordMordred @NathanielHigger1488 @justnormalkorean The audacity of these retards going to BlizzCon and not expecting to be shown absolute trash. They have not made a single good game in almost a decade. -

@Eiswald @Marakus @LordMordred @Hoss @bronze @JedKron1248 @NathanielHigger1488 @justnormalkorean Can the West create new media franchises fast enough to replace the destruction of old, beloved ones? Blizzard was the absolute top game studio for at least a decade or so, with mass worldwide appeal. The destruction of our cultural capital is progressing alarmingly quickly. -
