I'm not saying that you are wrong or that piracy is great, but when pirating media or creating memes, you can pinpoint a specific artist that created the original piece. And therefore acts as a bit of an ad for the creator (not necessarily a good one). But with AI it's for the most part not possible to say exactly who it took "inspiration" from. Which in my opinion makes it worse. Said in other words: A viral meme can benefit the artist, while AI slop does not.

Yeah culture is the hardest to change, and the number one reason that any change in the right direction is so damn difficult and takes so long. I'm in LA for my summer vacation and everywhere I look I see something car related. Big road up to 6 or 7 lanes each way! I have never seen something like that before. Parking lots that are the same size as the building it belongs to, and cars that are double the size of the cars I'm used to. People that drive in cars like that probably will never change their view. But we don't need everybody to never drive again. But to make people drive less frequently.

Just my thoughts: It would not be overnight. The infrastructure should change before the people do. The infrastructure needs to make it easier for people to walk, bike or take public transportation, rather than use their cars. Decrease the size of supermarkets, but make more of them and more spread out, so people can walk or bike to them. Create train lines that go to the most popular destinations like malls, schools/universities, hospitals, etc. Then remove car lanes from roads and make them into bike lanes. There needs to be bike lanes on all big roads. Otherwise cars have a "shortcut", which is not what we want. We want the bikes to have shortcuts. So we could make bike only "roads" which only are as wide as one car lane. But this will take a lot of money and motivation. All these things amplify the usefulness of each other. But that's just some of my rambling. Feel free to tell me wrong, or suggest something better.

I use zen browser. It has some quirks, but overall the best browser I have found. At least for me.

I have it set up so that my custom domain is pointing to the local ip of my server.

I use wg-easy, which is a web ui bundled with wireguard and it works great. I only have to port forward a single wireguard port on my router.

What, in your opinion, is the best protocol then? I want something that is decentralized, but also really user-friendly, with mobile apps on both android and IOS. The apps UI should not look outdated, and it would be great if it supports voice and video chat. It should of course also be secure.
