This won’t obviously apply to Norwegians, as it’s for the Netherlands.

Ah ha, but it would for expat Norwegians living in the Netherlands ! If we're not worried about the minority Norwegian expat groups, what has the world come to.

Sure, but its turtles all the way down.

How many are hosted on AWS, Google or Microsoft? How many are using Windows or macOS? How many use nvidia, etc.

In France with a Freebox Delta I have unlimited 10gbps speed down and 700mbps up for less than 50€ a month. Netflix and Amazon prime are included and I live in a 15000 people town. The subscription can be canceled any time. Plus the box has a built in NAS, Wifi 6E, and a 4K HDR player among other things

Yes... I have the same just moved here from Australia. Im in an old building but close to Paris. I've been blown away by what I can get with a "bargain provider".

Don't think you'd get the codebase for it, but I know this is built in SWI prolog https://www.securitease.com/ . Looks like it was presented a decade ago https://dtai.cs.kuleuven.be/CHR/files/Elston_SecuritEase.pdf

I often wonder what if we decide to build a completely new, well thought out computing system (including network) that is totally separate from any legacy system and 100% backwards incompatible. Not any bit less, 100% backwards incompatible and everything would be fresh. There would be no jpeg support (it would have its own image format), it would not have standard TCP/IP stack - a new protocol and network infrastructure, new display format, new IO ports, etc.

Why am I imagining this? I feel like computing systems as they've evolved, they've built stuff on layers upon layers and just like biological evolution, it is impossible (difficult) to undo because the marginal cost is too high to unwind and break backwards compatibility. We get stuck in local maxima at each layer and the critical energy required to escape out of it would be too large.

I am not saying backwards compatibility is bad, far from that, I am saying that if we force ourselves to cut the cord and completely build computing systems from scratch - I feel like we would have a hindsight to design it better, faster, and cheaper.

Closely related to sea-lioning, in my opinion.

Absolutely.
