Every day we stray farther from the premise that we should be allowed to install / modify software on the computers we own.

Will once again re-up the concept of a “right to root access”, to prevent big corps from pulling this bs over and over again: https://medhir.com/blog/right-to-root-access

There is no chance that we own our computers unless we figure out how to setup chip manufacturing factories at the 10 million dollar price point.

Without commoditized hardware, big capital will surely be in control of software.

I can buy a computer, disable secure boot, install linux and then do w/e I want.

Same can be true for phones?

Pretty sure this would boost fintech/blockchain apps even more vs. using banks directly, if it ever happened.

Even now, I don't really use a bank app for 90% of my needs.
