This already exists, https://fwupd.org/ It is strange they don't mention this and use it. fwupd updated my Logitech "Unifying" receiver firmware :-) And Dell uses it to provide updates of some of their laptop

So, next step is DRM for webpages/content in addition to video, either you see all or nothing. The W3C is probably already running with the idea to destroy the "free" web :-)

It seems to make more sense to just have ONE that can accommodate all those scenarios in a secure way. One doesn't solve bloat by introducing more bloat. I'd say more can be won by removing e.g. ASN.1 and X.509 for certificate h

> Not necessarily more smarts, but better tech means more affordable connectivity and education, and better education too. This is not true. Neil Postman has something to say about this, already in 1996, in "The Surrender of Culture

The Google proprietary stuff, and some of the free parts in Android are also already spyware. But adding an additional layer of proprietary software is just no good for the user :-) I mean, I can also rant about CyanogenMod using oCLock (or

You make some good points, and it would certainly help somewhat, but it won't solve the underlying problem. Instead of real choice and ability to buy something that will be under your control instead of the manufacturer or operator you

What I'm missing is a list of things that Google has to fix, that is in the benefit of the "consumer". It seems that most things that would be in the benefit of the consumer have nothing to do with Google, but with the shitty

They could just create 'share.wikipedia.org' and make that available so everyone can go there to share/distribute whatever files they want using a secret token they put in their FB group instead of hiding them in Wikipedia ar

I guess it is time for this one again: http://idlewords.com/talks/website_obesity.htm if the CSS isn't needed immediately, simply don't load it :)

Ah, my point was, actually, to base the remoteStorage spec on WebDAV instead of a new JSON-based protocol as it currently exists. remoteStorage could define a WebDAV 'profile' for what needs to be supported by the server...

Full disclosure: I contributed to the remoteStorage specification [0]. Instead of (or in addition to) considering remoteStorage, one could also go back to "normal" WebDAV, if such a thing exists, and completely forget about the Ca
