Critical info (was Upgrading...)

[Oren Beck]

Let's look again at my tagline's more sinister implications.
People with _hostile_ intent who by default will "find"
something you have done-and use it against you .
Absent finding things they will fabricate evidence.
Primarily it seems merely to "justify" their salary.
More sinister still is their extending the process.

Eventually we WILL have a situation where no matter
how cautious you are - you are breaking some law or rule.
Some mundane action even if otherwise "innocent" and
"They get you for it"

SO to restate the concept-

"Is it paranoia if there REALLY are hostile people in your daily world
intent on catching you at something-or fabricating it-
so they can justify their salary?"

And where does this ramble go back at all "on topic? "
The mention of KDE storing "userdata" in distributed locations.
It took me a while to abstract the similarity.
But the windows pattern of increasing layers of "userdata"
hidden in multiple locations and even ROT-13 obscured to
keep those with no "need to know" from even knowing it's
THERE! Makes it easier to "get you".  Of course you are innocent?
Oh? So when "they" find something prohibited on your hard drive?
And "Zero Tolerance" takes over? The real truth ?
I now openly suspect KDE of eventual userdata replication in places
NOT well documented to the mundane usere.
Even if it's not the KDE team's goal- the damage is the same.
