    Given the recent actions by the MPAA and RIAA I'd be surprised if the Internet was still around in 2017.

    But imagine if the open-source variant allowed everyone to run a server but the API also makes it possible to talk to other servers. Sort of a decentralized Facebook/Twitter/etc. If you add someone on your list, you get the URL for their account+server. Some would still use a third-party servers but others would run their own.

  5. Open and personnal on Is the Flickr API a National Treasure? · · Score: 1

    What we need are open protocols that allow anyone to run a personal server of their own (at home or shared hosting or whatever - it's your choice).

    Unfortunately it seems the social networking generation is more than happy to let Facebook, Twitter and Flickr control access to their own content.

    Real programmers don't always program directly in opcodes, but they can map their projects down to that level when necessary.

    And if you rent a virtual server somewhere, you potentially also could lose control of your website and its contents.

    Yes they do. Sony makes exploding batteries and Nokia makes cellphones that nobody buys.

    A store doesn't have to sell you multiple copies of something. You can't take the store hostage to force them to sell you more.

    I thought the supposed basis for capitalism was "sell stuff" and "buy stuff".

    Export laws aside, why the hell would a store not want to sell things if the person has the cash to pay for it?

    I did not say anything against taking control of our information. My comment was about the elitist attitude that everyone knows programming.

    It is one of the selling points of open source. Assuming that everyone can code is the annoying elitist attitude.

    "It's open source, just patch it yourself."

    If there ever was a sentence to describe the elitist attitude of open-source nerds, this is it.

    Thank you for doing this.

    If it were up to the companies and supposedly legal owners of these games they would simply let them disappear without a trace, obliterating a part of human history just like they did with the first movies.

    Funny how a single individual do a better job than international, multi-million companies.
