@semitones One can imagine a lightly soiled mattress left on the curb outside a student apartment after a party with paper saying "FREE" taped to it. It's a pun on Free-as-in-freedom (good) vs Free-as-in-beer (like free beer at a condo timeshare investment opportunity seminar).@corycarson @gsuberland

@screwlisp @corycarson @gsuberland ah ok, I thought it might be related to all those foam mattress companies. I don't see free *used* mattresses in the wild..

@semitones How often do you see GPG signatures in the wild?@corycarson @gsuberland Now I am remembering mattresses almost never coming back to life in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy though.

you don't see them unless you want to, but they're there every time you build or download a package from any of the major GNU/Linux distros and their derivativesas for email... well, I'm told few people use email these daysa lot of the people I interact with by email use GPGCC: @semitones@tiny.tilde.website @corycarson@social.seattle.wa.us @gsuberland@chaos.social

ah, you meant an 2024-dated RFC. doh!, sorry, I really misunderstood. I didn't even know there was a recent-ish RFC about OpenGPG, so I can't have an opinion on it other than "neat" 🙂CC: @semitones@tiny.tilde.website @corycarson@social.seattle.wa.us
