With the way the tech industry is going, it's only a matter of time before all ideals of integrity, privacy rights, and free and open source software are completely gone. (Can less-popular addons like Adblock True and Adblock Edge keep up with rolling release?) Through the years, I warned people on Usenet and IRC (especially Freenode) about NSA code in Linux and they told me "Living Standard" was a MAFIAA coup waiting to happen. They said "You're crazy", "it's impossible", "You're paranoid", "Don't use the Internet at all!", etc. Now look what their gullibility and blind trust of government spooks and multinational corporations got us! -- Red Blade http://www.libertycolumns.com/ http://www.danq.co/ http://www.twitter.co/danqco/ _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
