So I guess that means we will start to see a <1% libre alternative pop up? FirefoxOS tried. Ubuntu tried. Definitely interested to see who will occupy this slot in the distribution. The hard part this time is all the closed source driver

If your software could potentially kill people, it should absolutely cost significantly more, and require criminal liability risk for the maker. If your software couldn't ever kill people, you have no liability.

But what phone under $35 is able to run Service Workers? FirefoxOS is still the only one that can pull that off. Android 4.0+ can't run on hardware that cheap.

But, how do people in your village visit that website? Few have full-featured browsers. Also, making a zip file that people can pass around and install locally means you don't need to host it anywhere or have internet access to use it.

Yes, that video is one of my favorites. I'd recommend thinking of teaching encryption like teaching knots. You start out by listing the most basic knots[1] and what they are used for. Then, you can dive into teaching how to tie a speci
