I think arguing the definition of "hack" is a ship that sailed decades ago; attempts to do so are one group self-labeling as "hackers" claiming that another group self-labelilng as "hackers" shouldn't use the label, but approximately nobody else cares and this really doesn't match observable usage of the word. - d. _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
