I don't disagree with you but unfortunately I needed to keep from editorializing and I was restricted by a strict title length limit.

Hopefully ICE doesn't allow this guy to "self deport" like the guy the DOJ suspended of a $100m jewelry heist.

The move from kernel 2.4.x to 2.6.x was pretty painful. The absolute slog from 2.6 to 3.0 and a development model that a least somewhat resembles the model used today was exhausting.

In case you weren't there, the "even" kernels (e.g. 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, and 2.6) were the stable series while the "odd" kernels (e.g. 2.1, 2.3, 2.5) were the development series, the development model was absolutely mental and development moved at a glacial pace compared to today's breakneck speed.

The pre-git days were less than ideal. The BitKepper years were... interesting, politically and philosophically speaking.

Also, KDE4 was a dark, dark period.

I suppose that's one way to make Windows secure, keep it from running entirely.

Looks like he lost a fight with a Van de Graaff

It's an attempt to appear as a nonconformist that a genius visionary has to be (from their perspective). SBF did the exact same thing.

It's not only autism quackery, he's also "investigating" if cellphones cause cancer.

I write "investigating" because trying to justify your crackpot theories that you've already decided are true isn't true scientific investigation.

Adding a new HTML element probably leads to a better bonus at Google.

There probably is a bonus associated with each web proposal you create and get accepted. It's most frustrating when they take an existing proposal by an outsider chop it up into several separate proposals, and somehow still manage to miss the point of the original while simultaneously making it all more complex.

I think they're trying to beat their first term high score they earned during the pandemic.
