The whole mobile ecosystem is a giant hardware backdoor on every phone. I think it’s too late now to change anything on that level.

Of course fungi are plants. They don’t move and grow in the forest.

They are also toxic. I’m suspicious of plants that want to kill me.

Sorry but this whole thing is just snake-oil.

You can verify and sign your whole trust chain down to the last shared library and it doesn’t matter when you don’t know what the binary blobs on your TPM / CPU / BIOS / NIC are doing.

The only guarantee to a secure system is openness an all of that signing won’t help you there.

I don’t trust Microsoft, why should I start trusting IBM/Canonical or Poettering now.

If the possibility is there they will happily lock you out of your own hardware.

That’s one way how brands or empires are built.

No matter when you see that plane in the news you recognise it as that US president / state plane thingy.

So it fits that while the state is going down it’s symbols are going down with it.

Interesting, I wonder if you could do the same now with Internet. We know that DSL works over a wet rope.
