iOS 6 was a peak, according to my experience as a user. After this version quality started to decline.

Are those really kilobytes? Not megabytes?

I know that, but this makes the whole issue even more dangerous.

People who were living their whole life like Europeans, were not interested in Islamic culture and religion, can wake up one day and attack in the name of it. It shows that cultural identity is hard wired much more deeper than many think and assimilation is in fact impossible.

> show what's missing

Go to the Guardian article, press ctrl+f and type:

- corruption

- review

- buy

Now you see what is missing. I don't say that Gamergate didn't evolved into mostly hate driven movement in its latter phase, but its primary cause must not be ignored.

Nevertheless, I don't want to waste my time on discussing it, since my comment was about mjg59 behavior, not Gamergate (and I didn't followed it enough to discuss it in details).

He was neglecting his maintainers duties, for example he accepted a patch from a well-known troll, which in fact broke some things. So he would have to step down from maintenance anyway. (This is not any secret info, it all can be read on LKML.)

Instead he decided to play drama and presented Gamergate as a reason of stepping down. And replaced all comments who were disproving his statement with "Fart fart fart".

Having in mind all of that, I don't thing calling him 'clown' and describing his actions as childish is an exaggeration.

I don't think Guardian is a trustworthy source on this, having in mind their heavy left bias. They won't present any arguments which could undermine the narration that it was pure anti-women witchhunt, simply because it won't fit their ideological line.

Look, they even managed to somehow connect the 2-years old event to the last month's three most hot keywords of left-leaning media: Trump, alt-right and hate. This shows that this article is a opinion piece targeted to a specific group of readers in order to amplify their existing beliefs, rather than a balanced description of facts.

Well, his 'Extreme edition' is actually not so extreme. This is how Debian base installation looks like.

A server can perfectly run without dbus, accountsservice, logind, policykit and acpid. And, unlike he wrote, timesyncd NTP synchronization works well without dbus.

(Debian base has also cron and rsyslog running by default, for legacy reasons.)

Comparing people who were trying to remind what the whole affair was really about (corruption in journalism) to antisemites.

Well, it was hard to beat mjg59, but it seems you've managed to do so. He just censored them, in a childish way.

Replacing comments which you apparently can't refute with the phrase "Fart fart fart". Indeed, very entertaining and mature.
