I'm not a slave to my computer. Stop using bad services that are designed to manipulate your behaviour. There's still the good old Internet out there with genuinely interesting content.

IPv8 and it's (eventually mandatory) device-attestation-auth-at-protocol-level will end all of this pseudoanonymous free thinking information exchange. It was good while it lasted.

That IPv8 proposal that was circulating a few weeks ago was not a serious proposal (written entirely by a single person with no substantial involvement in IETF before then) and has no roadmap to any kind of adoption.

[MrDarcy]

A reasonable proposal from a single person outside the IETF seems most likely to succeed.

It’s not like the IETF have any obvious success managing or deploying solutions to IP problems known for over 30 years.

[antonkochubey]

It’s not like that proposal offers a solution for any of those problems.

A very subjective view - but as originators and not just users of technology, we must be objective, too.

There are, genuinely, people out there who will believe anything their phone will tell them to believe. Its not just about 'good old Internet' - its about the literacy rate of the user.

Literacy can be assayed by many different metrics - mine, personally (back to the subjective), is this: the ratio between whether the user is capable of programming the computer, compared to the computer, programming the user.
