And yet the Foo fighters and specifically Dave do benefit concerts raising millions and actually cook and feed disadvantaged people by the thousands. They also do (at last I knew) an annual multi-day trolling of the westboro Baptist church compound, which is a great thing imho.

The first sentence: “somehow, different than Linux” :D

Oof.

Thanks!

We’d just need to lure a few suckers testers on the order of Taco to expose all the gotchas.

Thank you!

The absolute only thing I go back to reddit for is the patch Tuesday megathread. I do dearly wish that info was here so I could cut ties completely.

Noah, get the boat!

Are you kidding? OP is getting us to write their Master’s thesis in Marketing right now!

WOW is there a lot of mental health issues in that mtnweekly link… I wouldn’t visit that without putting on a double-layer of tin foil, and maybe some lead underwear, just to be safe.
