Further, I just want to point out that we have been experiencing a bit of a gift in the past 5 years. Even with all the ridiculous things happening, we have started to get projects like Veilid off the ground and shift the narrative in the media around privacy on the internet.
Talks like this one are a part of that rising tide. For me, It was Bruce Schneier's talk at DefCon 29 that reawakened something in me.
That year, I didn't know the cDc were going to be there. I didn't know that there was a spirit deep in me that would leave Vegas reinvigorated.
But it did, and Projekt:ONI was born. Many other madness induced projects would follow. Always finding a way to try to answer the call... it worked...
Then Veilid happened this year. The potential with Veilid is so amazing. We can not only support privacy first development frameworks, but make the cloud ours.
Taking back the means of computation, indeed.
We can do things to fix things.
It takes cooperation and focus.
And honestly, just maybe the future IS the friends we make along the way.
Don't doubt than even cheerleading these projects is contributing.
