Danny O'BI guess why I think about these things is that as a good anarcho-techno-syndicalist (but only on Tuesdays), I often see what happens is that people are very enthusiastic about running their own Linux meshnetworks for freedom, but after a while you kind of want Mark Shuttleworth to do it for you, then Google, then Comcast then, oh shit I'm reading my Facebook at the combination PIzza Hut Taco Bell
"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.@mala *follows for those "meshworks"*
Nate Cull (.social)@beadsland @mala aw man yeah what happened to mesh networks? I still kinda want one but running HTTP over slow wifi doesn't seem like quite the best fit
@natecull @beadsland well amusing meshnetworks are my go-to example for this. My theory of mesh networks is that they don't work, except where they work *brilliantly* -- and that is determined by how many anarchists you have locally to make sure that they keep working
