Well goddamn, I'd never thought I would still be attached to an internet forum after all these years! :pinch: :laugh:

But here I am, having hit the "Add Reply/Post" button 25,000 times and being here just over a decade :| I tried to coincide my post milestone with my 11th anniversary (end of November) but clearly didn't work out as I had to reply to forum news/topics that interest my brain :p

With the above said; I just wanted to give out a shout out to those that I have much respect for ....

A particular set of members, that despite all the fanboys/girls, spammers, trolls etc. trying to make their mark and degrade the quality of the forums, are not phased and manage to provide valuable, level-headed technical help and advice to those that need it and keep on chugging along doing so (Y)

Early joining members who generally caused headaches for staff on the forums initially, only from them to stick around, mature over the course of the last decade and become respected, active members of the community :)

Old school staff/veterans that are still active/pop their heads in now and again on the forums, I do kinda miss the good ole' days working alongside them to deal with angst on the forums with ban hammer in hand :rofl: But as many of you old-timers know all too well, real life tends to take priority now with work, relationships etc. I'm not as active as I used to be but try to participate when I can.

Steve and the team who work hard to keep Neowin a well-oiled machine, learning from mistakes in the past, increasing the sites' appeal with new features and the constantly expanding member base. I don't personally know many of the recent additions to the current team in the last few years but you guys are doing well to keep the forums in line and on the forefront of tech news via the front page (well, most of the time :ninja: ) (Y)

And so that's it from me, here's to another 11 years where hopefully Neowin will still be alive and thriving, not be taken over by the cryptic Observers and turned into a dystopian website for their own agenda (sorry, just watched the latest episode of FRINGE earlier this evening) :shifty: :p

Congrats Good Sir.

Even though I imagine it has had to have happened once or twice over the years (the truth of the matter is we all have our bad days) I honestly cannot recall you being confrontational or disrespectful towards another member. This fact alone gets my utmost of respect. (Y)

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By ad47uk · Posted

      Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By Nas · Posted

      Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.

      Russia invaded Crimea, so not sure what you are getting at. Are you saying that the E.U is like what the USSR was? What is wrong with wanting control over your own country? i bet Trump would not stand by and allow Canada to control the U.S.
