I couldn't agree more with your flow recipe. What pomodoro provides that your recipe doesn't provide or perhaps it does for you, is the following: * Remind me to drink water * Remind me to move, i.e. stand up, walk a few meter, st

If such evasive speech is the cultural norm, then it should be handled in localization. After all it is about adapting a software to local language and preferences. It is not merely running strings through Google Translate. Taking that evas

> Building a more complicated system akin to the forges on top of emails will likely require modifications to the original email workflow, e.g. to add metadata. Emails do have header, there is no problem storing metadata in those.

But by using GPG to check the authenticity of the actual files that are downloaded, we can remove the web site -- whether https is sufficienctly secure or not -- from the trust chain all together. The shorter the trust chain, the better.
