So the way I see it two major criticisms of TimBL's #Solid / #Inrupt initiative are starting to crystalize:
• Venture Capital money is poison
• RDF sucks
But beyond that there is an *at least* faint hopefulness that the Decentralized Web is starting to become A Thing in the general public consciousness, if only because TimBL is bringing up the subject.
