On Behalf Of Peter Ross The NSA will love it.
http://joey.hess.usesthis.com/ What would be your dream setup? I dream of a ARM-based netbook with exceptionally good battery life, an E-ink display, and fully open and non-proprietary hardware. I've put off upgrading for years since this seems such an obvious thing for the market to produce, but the market is fascinated with locked-down tablets instead. --- A bit sidestepping, maybe. But after few years of tablets ands smartphones I really find it astonishing that we are dealing with such weak devices, security- and privacy-wise, full of proprietary hardware and software. I have a hard time to think all developers are idiots and we do not know better how to write software. A feature grabbing octopus like the systemd is the opposite of considerate. To put that in the heart of every Linux distribution is deliberate. Of course, everything about the NSA is overblown. I just wonder why Assange and Snowden are not living peacefully at home.
