"I live in a place where the echoes of tyranny and the heinous information-apparatus it depended on still ring throughout the land."

But that place only exists in your head. It's not real. It's spring outside - take a walk amongst the flowers, clear your head and enjoy life a bit.

"I fear that if I use the wrong words or visit the wrong websites, I'll trigger some automated system and will be put on some kind of watch list that will change my life"

I'm afraid you've got caught up in a modern-day hysteria. Nobody is watching you or cares anything about what text messages you type or websites you visit.

That is demonstrably nonsense, Jeremy Corbyn has among the lowest ratings ever seen for the leader of a large political party, because he is a far-left political extremist.

Can anyone tell me which cloud provider they are using? I want to make sure that scrapinghub are on the list. I block the IP addresses of all the major cloud providers to prevent parasites such as this.

Agreed, and the sluggish problem can't be solved because the Atom team chose a developer stack which benefited them, and not one which benefited the actual users of the software.

There is a massive gap in the market for a native speed open-source SublimeText clone.
