While impractical and reminiscent of 90s crypto-wankery (oh no clipper chip, et al), it's still far more worthwhile than what Stallman's been pushing lately about cloud services.
Stallman seems to think that users give a shit about software, as if everyone using the AGPL would somehow fix everything — except that thet's total bullshit — people only care about access to their data, the code serving it up is completely irrelevant. You wouldn't be able to run your own instance of Facebook on localhost anyway, even if that was somehow useful.
Stallman's refusal to use any cloud services leaves him woefully out of touch with the reality of their implications.
- wingo 17y agoStallman has done lots of lovely work. Now he does some OK thinking. Just let him be :) In my case, one must recognize that the GNU manifesto was also impractical. This totally might not work, but I think the concerns are valid, and the implementation at least sounds fun to hack on.
