- cudgy 5y agoHow does open web make it better? Then your data is swimming on a server outside your device on an unknown operating system with god knows who looking at it. Someone earlier astutely stated the metaphor “the thin edge of the wedge”; the movement to the “cloud” via the open web over the last decade was the thinnest part of the wedge.
- hypothesis 5y agoWithout one we would be forced to use apps on a locked down OS and unable to switch to any up-and-coming alternatives at all. Even to the extent web is open today, I’m able to run Linux on all my PCs/laptops and not to have an extra one to run proprietary OS in order to participate in modern life.
