The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

For me KDE disqualified itself not by choosing qt (not that I am happy
with it) but by diableing emacs. 

With the next versions of KDE you will not be able to use emacs anymore
since the KDE windowmanager will filter out all the keycodes that emacs
needs.
