I tried this for a summer, it really did lead to easier to read HTML... although now when I go back I’m not sure which tags can be omitted and which might be errors. I think it’s probably a net negative trade off but still not certain. Thes

So, they are claiming to have done so but did not reveal which ones? The spy in me wonders if this is fake to discourage campaigns to use AV software in the coming elections. The non-spy just worries about my company's AV software.

That is like saying that 'unless its 100% perfect, I may as well send everything to Google and the ad-verse' People can't simply get rid of their cell phones. At minimum, I need one for work.

That's a Debian free software principal, correct? The desert island rule?
