I stopped using emacs the moment I started using a mac, I kept erasing text pressing CMD-x instead of ALT-x, and other such annoyances. To date, if I have to use IRC, I open Emacs and use erc. For everything else I keep switching every few

Governments are just a part of the threat; there's also nosy neighbours, thieves, ex partners... For instance, my bank account password is not illegal, nor am I ashamed by it in any way; I don't think I'm a prude, yet I feel

By the way, does anybody know of a valid reason why vacation/out-of-office messages shouldn't be forbidden forever? Has any organization ever had any positive outcome whatsoever from their members having those autoreplies?

I just had to stop reading, the bad math was too bad (a quarter of 100000 is 13000, then it becomes briefly 25000 and goes back to 13000, and 10% of 13000 is 130...)
