Let me off this euphemism treadmill! Please, I'm getting ill.

> using language that upsets people is bad Shouldn't be. Intent should be the grounds for upset, intent only. Otherwise you get a Euphemism Treadmill, and that's a goddamn fucking waste of time.

From what I recall of my trip down the deep paranoia rabbit hole your best bet is to: A) Only use temporary virtual machines to access the internet. B) Use Tor the right way, which is very difficult. C) Use VPNs liberally D) Pay for everyth

In the full scope of what it can do it's not very weird, but I'd say it's the best I've done so far... is write a book! It's in draft 2 at the moment, having been printed out and manually edited over the last couple

Can you be more specific? What kinda of data? Financial? Shopping info? Personal history? Relationship with others? Online comments? What are your limits and what would you be happy with? What are you willing to give up and what do you need

Yup, tried it. Was delicious. I've tried nearly everything. It's the caffeine. Some dark chocolate after noon messes up my bedtime by several hours. F-n sucks. :-/

Sure. Have fun. Myself I can no longer imbibe. Why? Crushing headaches, stomach upset and other digestive issues. I did love every kind of coffee back in the day though. Shame.

Looks like some nice improvements. I'd be great if they supported direct use of CMYK in addition to the default screen-space RGB mode. And yes, I understand Inkscape is more illustration than Desktop Publishing, but still... Until then
