GNU ownership, Software - an everywhere epidemic

The gnus aren't the problem. There are millions of gnus out there that are handled just fine. People have been handling gnus for ages without problem.

It's the behavior of the gnu owners that are the problem, particularly the mental health of a handful of gnu owners.

Most people who own gnus are responsible. Nearly all gnu owners can handle it. It is only the tiniest sliver of the gnu-owning population that have problems.

And those problems are normally mental health concerns.

It may be from people who want to try suicide by gnu, or people who lash out at others running and use their gnu to rampage through the market, it is the gnu owners and their mental health that are the problem.

Yeah, I was kind of ashamed after making my semi-serious post in a joke thread.

Wanted to extend it with something funny, but I guess I'm just not funny enough

If you had made the post under a Free license anyone could have extended it for their own use.

Don't you know the GNU Coding Standards say you should put the GPL into COPYING, so as not to encourage people to use a proprietary OS which uses file extensions to determine the file type? tongue.png

Well that prompted me to Google up gnu coding standards and, true to what i expected, this is what i found : https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/

Ah the user friendlyness of choice.


gnu coding standards

Definition: a load of prattle that nobody pays attention to.

The wonderful thing about standards is there are so many to choose from :lol:

Nah not with gnu, you don't need to chose em, just pick a bit of all and do what you want !

The solution to the gnu problem lies in building awareness at a young age.
Every child should be given access to gnus, so they understand what gnu ownership is all about.

You certainly do not want your kids to be bringing gnus to their schools, showing off their new gnu software to their classmates, or possibly having a gnu software showdown. It's all about responsible ownership. Teaching them that one quality gnu is better than many partially-done gnus that could blow up in their face.

Having smelled gnus, you certainly do not want them going off in your face. I can imagine at school yard the death tolls could be catastrophic.
