Re: Yes, well, Linux distros --
"One fine commentard (Charles 9, I think) opined that the only way to ensure privacy is to become a Luddite. Well, only if you want absolute privacy, I think. This guy managed to maintain excellent privacy for 27 years, but they caught him at last. Isn't everything shades of gray and a matter of degrees? You can get "pretty good" privacy if you eschew a few things. And if you manage your usage, and don't need full-on shields-up privacy all the time."
Which actually shows privacy can't be shades of gray. It's black and white: all or nothing. Just one slip is all it takes to let the plods in and start unraveling everything.
Which means for many of us it's already too late. They're just holding the bombshells in reserve.
