Removing nommu feels wrong to me. Being able to run linux on a simple enough hardware that anybody sufficiently motivated could write an emulator for, help us, as individuals, remain in control. The more complex things are, the less freedom we have.

It's not a well argumented thought, just a nagging feeling.

Maybe we need a simple posix os that would run on a simple open dedicated hardware that can be comprehended by a small group of human beings. A system that would allow communication, simple media processing and productivity.

These days it feels like we are at a tipping point for open computing. It feels like being a frog in hot water.
