Sopranica - initially an XMPP-based network that gives VoIP numbers, eventually aiming to extend to a network with WiFi access points. Seems an interesting concept. https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/595zg5/sopranica-jmp-wom-cell-network-diy-anonymous

  Sopranica is a surveillance-free cellular network built by volunteers from around the world. It’s easy to use and free to set up.

@bob @cyberkiller @rysiek The Post Office Tower (now Telecom Tower) wasn't marked on any maps of London for a while - even though it's a big tall building visible from miles around. "Secrecy".

Not only smartphone apps and desktop operating systems spy on their users - eyewateringly expensive stealth combat aircraft do too. https://quitter.no/url/1560013

  F-35 stealth fighter caught spying on its owners
  
  from NewsComAu
  
  THE marketing campaign makes it clear: The F-35 justifies its enormous cost and limited weapons load by being sneaky and enormously well informed.

@bob Qualifying that - I think it depends on what you want the web to do, to some extent. There are people who want to turn the browser into a platform-independent thingy to run "desktop" apps e.g. electronjs. Putting aside whether or not that's a good idea (and for the record I think there are better way of doing it), you need all sorts of shit to support such stuff which has little to do with the web as a means of disseminating information. (A better solution to cross-platform was things like Delphi IMO - not that I've ever used myself it but a programmer I well respect was an enthusiast)

If it takes this many people to make a browser then maybe web standards are more complicated than they need to be. This suggests that there might be some big refactorings and restructuring of the web coming in future.

As useful as Mozilla might be their business model is skating on wafer thin ice. They rely on money from Google, and it's not clear to me that advertising is going to remain the cash cow that built their megacorporation.

Maybe browsers just aren't sustainable and the "everything in a browser" idea will eventually go away. We already see that partially with apps on mobile.

  Maintaining An Independent Browser Is Incredibly Expensive
  
  Mozilla's revenue increased to over $500M in 2016. Good for them! Some people have asked why all that money, and Mozilla's 1,200-ish staff, ...

@hattiecat Thought it must be said that this world was only attainable if you were white - racial segregation an appalling reality then.

  The tongue-in-cheek propaganda and advertisements of "Fallout 4" are ripped from the real world Cold War.
