They skillfully disguise their misanthropy as unintended mistakes
which nevertheless get defended against any fixing for decades.

(I fear to have already told the stories of the CD TAO Read-Ahead bug,
 the sr SG_IO Concurrency bug, or the Automatic CD Tray Loading bug.
 Else i would now annoy the public by lamenting them and their near
 immortality.)

Beer of course. I can at any time apply changes to local kernels,
be they good or bad, and talk publicly about them.
I cannot tell the brewery what to put into their bottles of free beer.

But there is hope:
Linux will soon be replaced. We will be able to control kernel bugs by
some JSON lines in the configuration of systemd-homed.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
