…And only your own upvote. Reddit, you disappoint me more often than not. Welcome aboard!
Could you give me 6 random numbers that are between 1-49 please?
1, 0, -1, -2, -3, -49
Just remember to wait 11 years before doing anything with those numbers,otherwise it won’t work.
6 6 6 6 6 6
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8
420699
4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4.
29
9,41,8,7,24,33.
1, 1.5, 1.75, 1.875, 1.9375, 1.96875
Dude is going to play the lottery with the numbers for the next eleven years.
Got any stock picks?
No seriously
+1 Or perhaps lottery numbers? I’m not picky
Please let me know as well
There is fortunately enough content across the fediverse currently to keep me away from Reddit and I hope it stays like this
And it will keep growing once Reddit finally kills the 3rd party apps!
i want to keep using RIF as long as i can, but within 5 days its all fed all day.
The Lemmy apps are slowly catching up to the point where it’s close enough to not matter. Meanwhile, I’m enjoying the lack of useless fluff posts and doomscrolling that I used to do on Reddit.
Welcome to the future! :)
It’s funny when this kind of thing happens. I built an app that was basically tindr for a project in college, several years before tindr started. Guess I should have release it
Wow! Something similar for me: in 2007 I built a website that had the same functionality as Hungry House. Basically a place where take-away restaurants could put their menus up and take orders. It didn’t take off and it only cost me a couple of month’s of work. Then Hungry House, Uber Eats etc came along a decade later and nailed it.
To be fair to you, I don’t imagine they did anything better than you on the menus and ordering, it’s the fact that they provide the delivery that made it work
I did similar, but for Whatsapp. Mine pre-dated ubiquitous connectivity, so had to be SMS based, which limited scalability. Had I been perhaps 1-2 years later, I could have been cage-fighting Elon Musk and getting imploded next to the Titanic 🤷♀️
Hey don’t give up on your dreams! Although I will say, I’m not sure you can achieve them simultaneously.
Hold up, bear with me here, what if, ULTIMATE FIGHTING SUBS! Two billionaires have to build and pilot their own submarines to fight to the death in front of the titanic.
How does it feel to have something macro level you wanted actually come true?
I am very happy that lemmy is taking off now with reddit alienating their users.
…and what do you think the internet will look like 11 years from now?
Under-rated question. What do you say @deadlyduplicate ?
okay now do the internet in 2034
Dude, if I’d seen your comment 11 years ago, I would’ve thought that would be nonsense…
You were kind of a visionary.
(kind of, because decentralized social networks existed since then, but still).
Yeah I just did a search and looks like OStatus predates my comment. Plus it was more wishful thinking than an attempt to predict the future.
And no upvotes, because it’s obviously a stupid, unworkable idea.
What are your new predictions, oh time wizard?
How long do you think it will take before we have decentralized/federated identities to go along with it?
I personally would like to see soulbound nfts being used for decentralised identities. If you combine that with a proof of humanity attestation, you can cut down on bots and as a plus, zksnarks can be used to perserve an user’s anonymity. Basically validate a user is a real person without revealing who they are.
I have an interesting protocol for this.
Moonlight rituals. The idea is, you get a bunch of people together, say 20-50, in the same place at the same time. Everyone opens an app, and it takes control of the screens and gives semi-random actions - like hold up your phone to the user to the left of you, get everyone in a circle with phone screens on your chest and walk forward, enter the middle of the circle and slowly spin around, hold it up to take a picture of the moon…
The idea is, you constantly change the screen, take synchronized pictures, record audio, get flickers in gps signals, record fluctuations in the magnomiter.
The idea is to synchronize everything with millisecond precision, randomly take snapshots both across the group and between groups, and use all this to corroborate the fact that there was one user per phone present at this point in space and time. By using reality to generate enormously complex data sets, you can make it arbitrarily difficult to simulate, and doing it in real time could use cheap hardware and require processing orders of magnitude faster to spoof.
Doesn’t matter how much processing you throw at it - a system like this would theoretically be able to measure gravity waves and stellar radiation - no way you to measure that and adjust your data before you time out the recording window
On top of nodes doing all this, you’d build a web of trust with random nodes spot-checking each other.
It’s crazy and impractical, but I love the idea just because it’s turning technology to magic - making group rituals to authenticate is just such a fun concept to me
This sounds so out there and above my head and I’m very into technology, futurism, astrophysics etc etc, but wow. Also voodoo.
Chef’s kiss also that aged wine be mighty fine!
Years or days?
It literally says “11 years ago” in the picture
How does it feel that it finally happens?
