Veilid is a peer-to-peer network and application framework released by the Cult of the Dead Cow on August 11, 2023, at DEF CON 31. Seems more promising than I2P.
You're viewing a single thread.
And they use discord for comms.
Pretty sure they are using discord because most people are familiar with it and it is easier to contribute to the project.
Yeah, there are alternatives. Matrix, Zulip for chatting and the entire fediverse for forums and micro-blogging. But they chose big-tech corp #321 and big-tech corp #123 👍
At least they're on Gitlab. I'll give them that.
Gitlab is also a big corp
Gitlab = Big Tech? Dude, you have got to be kidding me.
Financially, the year was also marked by record performance. We delivered over $245 billion in annual revenue, up 16 percent year-over-year, and over $109 billion in operating income, up 24 percent.
Fiscal Year 2024 Highlights:
- Total revenue of $579.9 million
So then do you define a company with 400 million annually and over 2K employees as Medium Tech? Because that ain't no mom-and-pop tech shop seeking to undermine the status quo, that's got to be in the top 10 companies in that space. Obviously MS and Atlassian are bigger, but gitlab is like number 2 for git!
Big Tech, also known as the Tech Giants or Tech Titans,[1] is a grouping of the largest IT companies in the world. The concept of Big Tech is similar to the grouping of dominant companies in other sectors
I don't know what Gitlab is, but if you look at the "smaller big tech companies" list, Adobe is the smallest on there with 17 billion in revenue as of 2022, which is ~34x that of Gitlab today. It's probably on the larger end of medium sized companies, but that's very fluid.
I didn't say 'big tech' I said 'big corp'
Regardless, 'big tech' isn't really a thing its just a buzzword used by the media to describe parasitic capitalism that uses computers
Also gitlab can afford billboards along the 101 in the middle of SanFrancisco so yeah they suck
Thats like voting for the leaser evil but still donating to their reelection
Yeah I can't stand that whole cDc hackers.town thing they have going. Their mastodon is really very boring
