“Software and hardware off one hand” is control, unless I missed something? Centralization = control, that’s how it works out.
Decentralization is a new thing, I am not saying it is the answer for everything but it shall have its merits. Something may be better to stay centralized while something should be decentralized. Where to draw the line? I don’t know. Should we stop trying new things because someone is a fan of “Apple Idea”? I don’t think so. I was an Apple fan as well, not anymore. PV
