This caught my eye as well.
I'm not sure what his objection to accessing email in a normal-ish way might be. Any ideas?
My best guess is that it's something surveillance-related, but really not sure.
- int_19h 1y agoI think OP might be confusing Stallman's website protocol with that for email: > I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/womb/hacks.git https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. (he describes his arrangements in detail here: https://www.stallman.org/stallman-computing.html https://www.stallman.org/stallman-computing.html)
