I am having an amusing and/or deranged conversation with someone who is trying to gaslight me into being ashamed for not knowing what a "brevect" is. (Also, their preferred mechanism for quoting emails in replies appears to be to cut-and-paste screenshots.)
So, what *is* a "brevect" about which the "kernel staff' should totally know? Let your imagination run wild, I'm curious.

@puppygirlhornypost2 I'm with you on this one, but there's a very simple explanation for this -- when you're not using the app, you're not generating user data that the company was planning to sell. So, when you install an app but don't actually use it, you're a) bringing down someone's KPIs, b) eating into the company's planned revenue.
(My apologies if I came across as a rando explain guy -- I actually had this very conversation with one of my kids very recently, so it was fresh on my mind.)

The existence of "dream catchers" suggests that there are also "dream throwers."

Gotta say, if an unknown new printer shows up in my print dialog, my first thought won't be "cool, let's try printing to it."

Today's lesson: If a new printer shows up out of nowhere, don't print on it. 🥱

Hi,
Can I ask your community one customized os with only kernel Linux with WebKit without windows manager x11, openbox.......... Only WebKit direct on
framebuffer?
No money for this project.

@rostedt when it was in Vancouver, I overheard an elderly couple grumbling out loud that a bunch of plumbers are occupying one of the nicer hotels in downtown. "Shouldn't they be in some basement somewhere?"

Oof, worked a full 9-inning game tonight because it's finals and the score was tied at the bottom of the 7th. Had to make a game-deciding safe/out call and good lord is that a tough thing to do while still jet lagged.
