From the Movitz mailing list: Emacs on the metal. Someone wrote an Emacs clone in Common Lisp and then created a bootable Movitz kernel image from it. Movitz is a system for programming embedded applications in Common Lisp - and thus the Emacs clone is the first truly bootable Emacs. Sick
Mail.app under 10.4 always requires confirmation when first opening a connection to a server with a self-signed certificate - even though I have the certificate in my x509Ancestors KeyChain and have set it to always trust there, it just won't accept it directly. Does anyone have an idea how to get Mail.app to stop this nonsense? It's only when starting Mail.app, later when disconnecting and reconnecting it doesn't happen, but it's still annoying... The message always says "This certificate has no root certificate" - which makes sense, as it only signs itself. Somehow this is quite stupid - instead of simply believing "Always Trust" Apple thinks it knows better. I hate know-it-all software.
Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution wants to continue monitoring the PDS - it's already absurd what a fuss is being made about a few remaining leftists. The hatred of and fear of communism and Marxism in Germany is still as unbroken as it was in the USA during the McCarthy era.
The fact that today the constitution and the fundamental rights guaranteed to people within it are much more endangered by neoliberalism and the influence of the economy on politics and society doesn't bother anyone.
And you can make such wonderful politics when you publicly declare that the PDS will continue to be monitored by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution. Especially important before potential federal elections.
