<p>Going to be interesting to see how this affects Uber prices in Colorado. afaict Uber heavily engages in surveillance pricing but claims otherwise, deferring to 'discount' terminology.</p>

<p>Discord would have never gotten to where it is today if not for the Mumble community never shipping a decent fully-featured web UI. There were multiple efforts throughout the years but iirc they were not coordinated and didn't gather much momentum.<p>It's not too late to make another tool that can fit this niche. There's currently nothing that checks every box for me, especially when it comes to UX and security/privacy. I started designing an open source comms framework with a friend to fit this niche a decade ago and feel somewhat motivated to try again in the future.</p>

<p>I'm planning to eventually launch an open source platform with the same name (peerweb.com) that I hope will be vastly more usable, with a distributed anti-abuse protocol, automatic asset distribution prioritization for highly-requested files, streaming UGC APIs (e.g. start uploading a video and immediately get a working sharable link before upload completion), proper integration with site URLs (no ugly uuids etc. visible or required in your site URLs), and adjustable latency thresholds to failover to normal CDNs whenever peers take too long to respond.<p>I put the project on hiatus years ago but I'm starting it back up soon! My project is not vibe coded and has thus far been manually architected with a deep consideration for both user and site owner expectations in the web ecosystem.</p>

<p>That is not what I posted. My original post, accessible via the GitHub comment version history is<p>"@addyosmani No problem; just remember that modifying someone else's code does not grant you any copyright to that code. I don't agree with your opinion that inserting existing code into a template (the API) for a framework (Modernizr) warrants a notice of credit, even with a few changes to the code being inserted."</p>

<p>This feels somewhat hypocritical coming from Addy.<p>Addy Osmani plagiarized my code and 'apologized' years later by publishing an article on his website[1] that he has never linked to from his social media accounts.<p>I cannot accept his apology until he actually syndicates it with his followers.<p>Seems relevant to note this behavior in light of points "6. Your code doesn’t advocate for you. People do.", "7. The best code is the code you never had to write.", and "14. If you win every debate, you’re probably accumulating silent resistance."<p>1. <a href="https://addyosmani.com/an-apology-to-eli/" rel="nofollow">https://addyosmani.com/an-apology-to-eli/</a></p>

<p>Throwing in my anecdote: I acquired aphantasia after a viral infection as a child. This also slightly impacted my speech. There can definitely be a fundamental difference.<p>In my case, I can distinctly remember my experiences from before the infection, and recall a clear difference in visualization capabilities before and after.</p>
