> In order to really get a feel for the Solid platform, and to test out solid, you will need the following:
> 1. A WebID profile and browser certificate from one of the Solid-compliant identity providers, such as solid.community.
EDIT: Seems if you run `solid init` and accept the defaults, it will configure a local WebID provider that you can register to on first use.
I will love standing in line at my local DMV and waiting for my WebID profile to be approved.
In the good old days, only the Church could publish books, so everything that was written down was thoughtful and true.
But we are on the net so nobody knows for sure.
Voting machines and nuclear reactors get hacked with code - which is just something people say on computers.
Hmmm, a centralized WebID eh? No thanks.
Even the "How it works" page [0] indicates how your solid pod becomes your id.
"In order to prove ownership of your data, you need a way to identify yourself. Rather than relying on a third party, you can use your Solid POD to say who you are. So no more “Log in with X” or “Log in with Y” on the Web — just “Log in with your own Solid POD”."
It'd be nice if it didn't replace one type of SSO with another, but proposed a way that SSO wasn't required at all.
