Gregory's Server@serapath @aral My phone stopped working recently and I was without proper access to stuff for a while until I was able to get a new one. I think progressive enhancement is very much necessary. It's easy to say tech good until you're without it. Doesn't even have to be about the monopolisation of Google and Apple. Redundancy is good.
Actually, that is a half-truth. I had redundancy. But in a world where a smartphone is the only way to access shit, I'd be lost.
@Reina @aral
i very much agree.
i am scared "to death" (maybe not that much, but...) ...of ever losing my phone, because all my stuff is coupled to it.
now imagine:
1. a simple phrase memorized by me, could be put into any device anywhere (even temporarily) to get access to all my data & apps temporarily and then deleting it again.
...if i lose my phone, i could grt a new device or even borrow someones to help me out.
tech coupd do it, but current tech and vendor lock ins prevent it.
