Banks can just ban you if they whisper the magic words "suspected money laundering". They are theoretically accountable to a process that takes 500 years and 3 quadrillion dollars to reach a resolution, then they will unban you. You might notice both you and the bank will be dead by that time.
IP is super decentralised. Digital communications could have led to a more decentralised society than ever before, and in the beginning , they end. But in the end, they didn't, because large actors figured out how to exploit them.
How?
What's your evidence politicians are relevant to this?

Databases don't send files to client sockets as fast as possible. They do computation and lots of random access.
Prosecuting people is their job. If you don't do your job you get fired.
They will simply call it grossly negligent, triggering the exception.
This happened to me in Germany. To be fair, I was walking 10km on a rural road with two suitcases and no sidewalk.
Petitions never do anything. Reverse engineering does.

Why Reticulum when we have IP?

You can buy example.it.com on many registrars. Someone bought it.com and operates it like a TLD.
Which is funny because the government can't legally ban you from the government. If you suffer any consequences from this, the government is at fault in every case. Of course, good luck proving it while you're in jail.

Most devices have a large number of operating systems. The camera also has one, and the storage has one if it's eMMC. The WiFi/BT chip has one. The AP has at least two, because of trustzone.

People bring up the baseband (ie. cell modem) having its own OS because someone gave a talk on it at defcon or something, but it's just one of many.

What's the problem then? If it happens, discard that account and make a new Aurora Store burner account.
Re:Play Store blocks AuroraStore, hurting GrapheneOS users on Tuesday September 01, 2026 @12:53PM (#49524592)
You can create an account with no phone number during Android device setup.

You can also just get a burner phone number for a few bucks.

Databases vendors usually find that read outperforms mmap. Mmap being fast is a myth.

Re:I co-founded Burning Man. The festival has lost its soul on Saturday August 29, 2026 @07:56PM (#49494367)
Burning Man is also a quintessential example of "what if we just did a thing?" - a philosophy that more of us need to try following.
Some do. They aren't the ones with the most money.

FAT32 allocates the first free block. IIRC, file order must match disk order because reasons. Ext2 prioritized allocating the middle of free space to allow fragment-free growth on both sides and it became a standard filesystem feature after that.
