I used to be an android developer and they disable my account because I took too long to reply to their mail. Since then I have been unable to recover it, they never reply to email and process your request to oblivion. Their bureaucracy is even worse than our french administration and that is saying something! At this point google is basically digital sovietism.

that was basically Rumble an app I developped 10 years ago: https://github.com/Marlinski/Rumble

I worked the field both academic and startup, I even made one of the first implementation of the Bundle protocol for store carry and forward (IETF transport protocol for the deep space network RFC9171).

Turns out the Mobile OS are making this kind of communication nearly impossible. To work well, it basically needs background job (automatic scan of nearby ble/wifi/radio) and automatic connection without user interaction (imagine being prompted to accept a connection every time you pass by someone), both have been basically made impossible (especially after covid).

That bright yellow background imprinted my eyes for 5 minutes, there's other way to leave an impression than fucking up with my senses, like writing a clear concise article instead of a never ending list of examples interrupted with distracting fake mouse move.

An horrible web experience through and through.

it's been criminalized to hell by IP holders and hollywood. Such a shame they killed the best tech of the previous decade. Could have revolutionized how we distribute content, approach CDN and even streaming.
