I think Solid is an awful idea that gets a ton of media coverage solely because Tim is behind it. It still has you giving arbitrary servers access to your data, rather than keeping the apps under your control as well.
I think the only way you end up with really liking Solid is if you nearly paradoxically care about user freedom but really hate open source software and want to ensure you control your app code.
- omnimus 4y agoYou can keep apps under your control. What are you talking about? It also means you share only part of you data if you need to do that at all. It gives users so much more control than in current situation.
- ocdtrekkie 4y agoWhy does Solid not let you run the apps on the server with your data?
- Vinnl 4y agoYou can do that, if you want. It just gives you the option to not do that.
