Why a quarter, isn't it more then a third?
Edit: Sorry, i misread it that they would want to get rid of a quarter of their people and omitted the million.
In March 2024, the British cybersecurity company Fortbridge identified several critical security vulnerabilities in the app. These flaws allowed unauthorized third parties to access private messages and photos, edit user profiles, and search preferences and messages. The vulnerabilities' duration remains unclear. Feeld claimed that the issues were resolved within three months of being identified. Feeld did not directly inform regulators or notify users of the potential breach of their private data, citing an absence of evidence that any data had been accessed.[27] In its report on the investigation, Fortbridge said that six months had passed between their initial disclosure of the vulnerabilities and Feeld's confirmation that the issues had been patched.
It isn't just deployed by nerds but sometimes also by cafes, libraries and municipalities.
So you can expect them to be in every town but they don't have such a dense coverage that they have a full mesh network over a city.
And the thing that is missing is that there are no inter network services like an copy of Wikipedia, LLMs or fileshares.
They have their own antennas. If the internet connection of one router dies, but it has a connection to another Freifunk node, it gets routed over the other one.
It will be read by thousands of LLMs 😀 The knowledge will be just fingertips away. It won't be human knowledge tho but AI knowledge.
