I think I have to distinguish between my opinion on what a legal system should be vs what i think it is first.
Imo a legal system should just elaborate on justice, ie equalizing between opposing parties on the fixed principles of ist foundation. For example if you have the rule that nobody shall be harmed, that includes all harm and no matter for what reason, except necessary to keep harm from others etc.
What I think the legal system is in most countries (or rather has become, but i'll explain why that was the only choice anyway) is a way for the rich and powerful to excert power over the masses. You need to be insanely privileged to work in the legal system or to influence it, you need a lot of money to hire a lawyer, etc.
The country i live in is infamous for its complicated and blown up legal system. It is exactly what I explained before.
Why is it systemic?
We have the issue that we live in an unfair system that thrives on inequality and left by itself it is cruel and heartless. A legal system needs to try its best to keep the cruel parts at bay which osnt possible long term. In socialist systems, despite their flaws, that is much easier because the system is based on similarity.
I think we need a better system (you can guess) and then the legal system will collapse to the most basic stuff like theft, fights and such. The whole "legally stealing from customers" shtick will be gone.
The issue is that you are comparing david to goliath. Its okay to compare the two but lets not act as if we're not comparing the homemade go kart to a ferrari that has gotten trillions in funding over the years.
Linux could be half as good and still be the unbelievably better choice. With them trading blows is like the only time in history where david actually has a chance at winning.
Resilience. Federated social media is resilient against censoring and corporate takeover.
It.does however not help with eee attacks which I why most of us block threads and a lot will block other fediverse sized (or larger) single instances of eg bluesky etc.
Other, less important (to me) benefits are no algorithms, no profit motive, no ads.
It is absolutely a great idea. These shit phones are fucking dangerous.
They're completely different, depending on your needs. Some work easily for those without tech knowledge or very strict needs at usability, some are for privacy enthusiasts or endangered people and some are for techies who want to advance humanity.
I suggest trying on an older phone you already have or buying a used one.
Generally, i suggest not buying new at all, as a form of protest, anyway.
You're an absolute champ! Thanks for walking the walk. Its refreshing meeting people who do stuff. Feel free to check out my kodi peertube app at some point ;)
I know. the issue is my friends dont have networks run by me. So I have to gain access to them and have to change setups which makes the situation likely to blow in my face. its just not a good solution imo. People have already suggested a relay server which will likely be the best solution.
yeah no. there are a lot of other solutions to this. they're just a little annoying. others have confirmed there are similar setups like plex is doing with a relay server, but selfhosted.
I'm sharing an internet connection with my neighbors for these reasons. In germany, we have "freifunk" which is just what you're explaining I think. I would definitely love to maximize this though.
That is pretty much how I imagined it. Sadly, its A TON of work. I have most of this set up in many VPSs for both me and customers (with other services of course) and I can imagine its probably the best solution. I still hate my life when thinking of implementing it. :D I bet its gonna be easier than I think but you may get my point here. Thank you very much for sharing.
Good question.
