Ever heard of Tails? An independent remake (not a fork!) of Tails is an awesome thing. Not because of details like systemd (which is really harmful only on a system you need to actively administer), degradation of its user interface because of relying on Gnome3 being also only a minor concern. The big reason are rumours about Tails being infiltrated by US bad guys, and backdoored. Those rumours may be or may not be true -- I seriously hope they are not -- but there's no way to prove a negative. If I was a spook, taking over a Tails developer would be a really, really high on my list of priorities, and it's not that hard to recruit/bribe/threaten the family of/hack/etc one of a team. Conversely, if I was a spook but failed at that task, I'd badmouth Tails to make potential dissidents fear using it... Thus, a from-scratch remake gives a chance to avoid either the risk of Tails being really subverted, or false allegations of it being subverted. -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Meow! ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ Collisions shmolisions, let's see them find a collision or second ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ preimage for double rot13! _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
