There's like 2 typos and I think it's pretty obvious that the user knows how to spell the words and just mistyped.
I count at least 5.
Fuck apple so hard for killing this culture.
I think it was all the guys airdropping people dick pics in public places that killed it
Lame
Limp

still possible in android, you can permanently activate nearby share.
i know it's not the same. we need a universal standard for this shit already. sharing files between devices is a nightmare.
We need a WiFi standard that isn’t fucking bullshit (has cryptographic identity), and that can be expanded to devices too.
Using the local network for the connection is a garbage plan because Wi-Fi coverage and availability is not consistent enough to become mainstream. I am aware of two practical solutions for this: instant hotspot (assuming the sharing app can temporarily reconfigure the wifi settings, and wifi encryption keys can be transferred with a QR code) or OnionShare (uses TOR to make a sharable link using any firewall/NAT configuration, share the link with a QR code).
You don’t need to use TCPIP with WiFi. It can be ad-hoc and some other protocol.
yeah I just researched and learned about wifi direct
By “WiFi” I mean the wireless protocol, which is confusing because that includes Bluetooth.
...b-but I hate Bluetooth with a passion...
That’s the data on top of it. Some sort of universal sharing protocol would have some kind of broadcast, either over a LAN or over the air, then there would be a handshake which would exchange MACs and cryptographic keys, then the actual exchange of data.
It would have nothing to do with Bluetooth, it would just use the 802.11 public use bands.
Nearby share is Googles proprietary protocol
well, localshare works well if you don't mind having to find a local network with multicast (or using tethering)
that requires every participant to reconfigure their Wi-Fi settings to connect to a participant's hotspot. Not simple enough to substitute Air-drop unless there's an app to do this automatically.
