What your project desperately needs is a description of what it does. I had to follow the links to ethical-tldr back to the original tldr to see what it's supposed to do.

    Animals in the zoo have "enrichment". I think that'd be fun. When I'm looking for the spreadsheet I'm working on for a meeting, I want to have to hunt around for it everywhere first. Like, if my desktop was Animal Crossing.

    Will I find my spreadsheet? Will I find an MP3 from 2003? Will I find nudes from the recycle bin of the janitors home computer?

    I don't know! But I know I'll need to look all over for it. That's "enrichment"!

    I watched this talk just yesterday. Really interesting and thoughtful design ideas. For anyone who might be disagreeing with the idea on the basis of the title alone, he recognises that the desktop experience has changed since displays have become larger and Microsoft and Apple are no longer innovating. I think this might be why we've found tiling window managers (for example) to be more functional in recent years.

    Having guns isn't inherently a bad thing.

    Having guns without the necessary training, certification, and security precautions required to SAFELY own and operate guns is an awful thing.

    As witnessed by the relative gun violence statistics of the US and countries with just a modicum of common sense gun laws and regulations.

    Alright, so just because a plain text signature is along with content, doesn't mean that the content is signed.
    Then how do you check that the content is signed by the plain-text signature given with it?

    I thought that the signature means that either a whole copy of the text is encrypted or a hash of the text is encrypted using the private key, which would mean that spoofing the sign would require solving complexity equal to either of:

    • Finding another string that gives the same hash
    • Finding the private key and signing a new hash with it

    What am I missing?
