Honestly, it does not sound like a list of big deal items aside from code patches - but, are there any? Are they significant? The article does not say.

FATALITY!

This.

RMS has been born in 1953. I doubt there been a decent opportunity for him to be assessed - and he's nearing seventy now.

"But Mom, Jamie is doing even worse..." is trolling, not an argument.

"But Mom, Jamie is using Linux/Open Source so he must be stealing..." is trolling, not an argument.

"But Mom, Jamie is using Linux/Open Source and so GPL or BSD or any other form of licensing are not applicable..." is beyond trolling.

Sincerely, on behalf of my mom, on behalf of my wive's mom, on behalf of grandparents, on behalf of people recovering or undergoing cancer treatment, on behalf of the people who keep your media going (including the Internet) - ... nah, not worth losing cool over people who love to argue just because they have too much time on their hands.

If I have a user dir with 65000 files, or 65000 home directories, this decrypt-on-login, encrypt-on-logout is going to be fun. Or how about several 8K films, are you going to encrypt them when I log out? And these are just the gaps in logic off the top of my head.

Poor education results in a mass of voters easily swayed by populist arguments. It's true everywhere.

Germany was devastated by WW2. Being on a losing side of a World War means just that they were hurt more thoroughly.

Mod this up, please.

Open-ended does not equal immortal. It's like Windows system - will run until it breaks. And frankly, four year lifespan never made any sense from economical standpoint - with so many gaps to be filled by cheap physical labor, four year limit was way too low. It also stands to the reason that android programming advanced sufficiently to allow for predictable behavior for longer time. So why not increase the lifespan?

That was really jarring part for me. Guy known as "constant" K. And he even does not do first aid on himself. Why?
