Computer scientists will tell you that their operating systems and tools are fine, because they like them to be complex. Companies will tell you that their machines or devices are fine, because they like to control them by hiding requisite device specifications and, or applications notes, even though you own them. Yet, some people remember a few machines from decades ago that were different. They got run over in the gold rush, but they proved that it is possible to build much more helpful machines. And if it was possible then, it is certainly possible now, because the hardware that computers are built from has become much more powerful. It's the software that is often not working in the interest of the owner. In the /Syllable/ project, we are using this power to help the owner instead of the scientists and the big companies.
