Based on that definition, GNU Emacs is malware as whenever I see it on my system (it used to be included with several Linux distros and macOS), I cringe at the thought of all of disk space I could be filling with fortune files.
- crazypython 6y agoI would modify the definition to this: > Software whose functioning intentionally mistreats the user is called malware There is nothing stopping you from removing GNU Emacs. There are features missing in Roam Research. But in Emacs org-roam, if you are missing a feature, you can ask any programmer– they don't have to be an org-roam maintainer– to add a feature as it is free software. Roam intentionally takes away the freedom to modify the software.
- hundchenkatze 6y agoI get your point, but I think in this case the distro would be the malware not emacs.
