Correct me if I'm wrong, but this sounds like a distro of linux not a home-grown operating system. That said, I like the idea of it, especially if the code base can contribute back to the open source community.
You're not wrong; headline of article is rubbish. Actually, the "slant" of it is kind of odd.
Yeah, if I understand correctly it's going to be a version of Ubuntu...
Is anyone else concerned this is just going to be used to make the Great Firewall of China easier to enforce? Call me skeptical but I'd be concerned there would be some bad stuff hidden in there to allow the gov easier access to it's citizens data.
That seems like an unnecessarily flippant response. I can just imagine the reaction if Google or Facebook responded similarly to privacy concerns.
The fact that I already do trust a service with my data isn't itself a reason to not periodically question that trust.
Also I think it depends on who's hands the data is in, maybe it's a false sense to comfort but I would rather Google or Facebook have access to my data and a Government agency who seem to be motivated by suppressing exposure to information they deem 'unfit' for their citizens. But i completely agree that questioning that trust is important.
I guess Red Flag Linux didn't work out.
I would like to understand why Red Flag didn't work out?
