Combine it with a TempleOS ring 0 - style OS, and you're onto somthing. Hard to trust software coming out of cucked 'learning institutions' though.

Why do you think it's safer to use an OS that runs entirely on ring 0?

Not criticising, just genuinely curious

I really hope that Solid can gain significant traction!

That's why they just destroyed Linux. Steam/Valve is using it as a base for their OS which would have allowed a huge number of reluctant Windows-using hold-outs to migrate to an open source OS. Linux (and it's offspring) would have gone through a major developmental phase as a result of such a massive user base increase, which in turn would have sent the increasingly gimped Windows platform into it's much deserved grave and killed the idea of anyone "owning" and dictating the nature and functionality of an OS forever (except in the minds of MacFags, but there's no saving them in general).

What are you talking about? You can always use an external HDD as your primary drive, build a Faraday Cage around your PC with a small opening for an ethernet cord and a trustworthy router.

They are indeed trying to infiltrate FOSS but due to the nature of FOSS it is difficult to implement any backdoors (but not impossible so your observations are still valid).

The problem with an OS that is well designed is that it has a good variety of user-friendly features (see LM19). This means more code. More code = less likely for any single individual to fully audit their system.

It sucks because unless programming languages are as easy to read as English no one realistically knows 100% of what is happening in their system apart from a few really dedicated people in this world (like RMS).

I look forward to your response to see if you are a M$ shill or a genuine critic of modern-day FOSS (I won't be able to really tell otherwise).

I'm running Linux now. Doesn't seem destroyed to me.

You might be interested in IPFS, a decentralized, peer-to-peer, censorship-resistant protocol:

but people are not forced to use centralized technology, they are choosing to use centralized technology. How does presenting them with more of what they don't want and will not use solve any problem?

World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee unveils radical plan for the fabled 'New Internet' | Daily Mail Online

"World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee has unveiled his plans for a 'New Internet' that would decentralize the system and take power back from current kings including Google, Facebook and Amazon.", "Berners-Lee said the intent behind Inrupt is 'world domination' in an exclusive interview with Fast Company published Saturday."

'Berners-Lee is no stranger to the forefront of the technology industry, having been credited with transforming the internet when he established the World Wide Web Consortium in 1994. ', "Berners-Lee's start-up Inrupt is launching an app system this week that will allow users to regulate what personal information they share on the web and how that information is stored.", "With Inrupt, users can create their own 'personal online data store' - or POD - to house anything from contact lists to calendar items to music libraries."

I was waiting to see where crypto currency comes into play with this idea, and was pleasantly surprised.
