Wonder if the companies (who have been mostly passing on the tariffs to the end user) will just add the refunds to their profits or give back in some way

welp, yikes

hahahahaha, bro jumped at the bag

… useless FOR YOU. not useless overall. its just that you in your limited use case cannot use it.

You never really could. If you hear of a (very) succesful software engineer with horrid soft skills they’re a 1%er chance wise

I’ve been hearing this since the 90’s.

I feel like it's a myth promoted by engineers with poor soft skills to justify themselves never learning said skills.

How do you learn soft skills? Maybe you have a point there

Watching other people do it better than you, or reading about it and trying things yourself would be two ways I can think of.

Pretty sure the whole concept of i2p is that every user also contributes to the network, which is why the config

I'm not sure why that would require more friction or why my comment was downvoted: i2p is harder to use than Tor. Adoption will be hindered by it, even in tech circles. I want to fire up an executable and maybe click through one prompt but not have to remember all the configuration steps the next time I want to use i2p.

They work on that, https://geti2p.net/el/blog/post/2025/10/16/new-i2p-routers

The current focus are new rust and go implementations, but embedding lib for applications is also in the roadmap.

I also agree on hindrance. I don't understand why they don't provide a simple docker-compose at least for daemon deployment for immutable management with controlled scopes. There is an image in the dockerhub, but no proper instructions. People have to spend several hours to ensure that everything works correctly.

So..? wealth ≠ intelligence

I believe that’s their point

Not sure about intelligence precisely, but i have a conviction that richest people are those who in general do things right. Which doesn't necessarily mean "in the smartest way", sometimes (effective) solutions they employ are quite dumb.

ugh i hate gen ai images. please dont start ur article with one

Soon you won't be able to tell!
