  • Apparently it’s used even less than SVN,

    Going to need a source for this.

  • Dead? They just had a major version update 1 month ago and the last minor release was 1 week ago.

    What does Facebook using it have to do with anything?

  • It’s insane they were still using Mercurial in 2025.

    What?

  • Built on IPFS

    true censorship resistance

    Last time I checked, IPFS was not censorship resistant.

  • paywall

  • Usenet is federated (which is a type of decentralization), and I think OP means peer-to-peer (fully distributed).

  • What power supply are you using?

  • Where are the sample queries and corresponding results to demonstrate that it works well? Oh there aren't any?

  • Yes it is completely fine and legal.

    You'll only have a problem if the application has features that are patented and the patents are enforceable. Or if you are impersonating a trademark.

  • Can you link the bug report please?

  • Although there were already discussions about it as early as 2005 (and earlier), Loic and company had been hosting a Web3 conference in France (“Le Web3”) for a few years back then. (The real Web3, not the crypto-Web3. < this is why many, if not most, Fediverse devs don’t like crypto, the crypto enthusiasts stole “Web3”)

    I think you've retconned a little bit here. LeWeb3 was named as a sequel to the previous conference which was called LeBlogs2. Remember, at that time Web 2.0 hadn't really taken off yet - browsers had only just implemented the XMLHTTPRequest API - so it wouldn't have made sense to already be talking about Web 3.0.

    Here is an original document containing some history of LeWeb3: https://web.archive.org/web/20070704054929/http://www.loiclemeur.com/LeWeb3executivesummaryv1.pdf

  • It was pretty obvious the approach behind for instance Deep Blue wasn’t the way forward.

    That's a weird example to pick. What exactly about Deep Blue do you think wasn't the way forward?

  • Why is this post title edited (incorrectly) from the article itself?

  • What did he lie about? What was the larger case about?

  • Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

  • It appears to have all of the downsides of a centralized payment processor (like PayPal, Visa, etc.) and also all of the downsides of a crypto-currency. I would avoid this clusterfuck like the plague.

    Taler does not require any Blockchain technology, and is also not based on proof-of-work or any other distributed consensus mechanism.

    Your wallet stores digital cash and thus ultimately your computer holds your balance. The Taler Exchange keeps funds matching all unspent digital cash in a settlement account.

    Since Taler's digital cash in your wallet is anonymized, the exchange cannot assist you in recovering a lost or stolen wallet. Just like with a physical wallet for cash, you are responsible for keeping it safe.

    In case of a compromise of one of your devices, an attacker can spend digital cash from your wallet.

    Taler e-money is issued with a validity period. One month before the expiration date, your wallet should automatically exchange any digital cash that is about to expire for new digital cash with an extended validity period. However, if your wallet is offline for an extended period of time, it may be unable to do so. Ensure your wallet is regularly online to avoid losing money due to expiration!

  • Trying to monetize the piracy of your users. That's a bold business strategy.

    Look, I know a lot of people could be using the sharing feature to share material that is in the public domain or that they own the copyright to, but let's be honest: most of that sharing would be considered an "unlicensed public performance" by the MAFIAA.

  • Format-shifting and time-shifting your legally acquired and licensed media is not illegal. If the DRM is preventing someone from doing that then it is within their rights to remove the DRM. Recall that not everyone lives in a country subject to the draconian DMCA law.
