Emperor penguin, brooding as usual: "I'm bored, how can we fuck with the |
3 |
users this week?" |

|
5 |
Chancelor penguin: "we can mask PAM for no reason. It has never caused |
6 |
anyone any problem but removing it will drive the users crazy for days |
7 |
trying to get their system working when they do emergency updates to try |
8 |
to fix the instability you caused last month when you let the kernel get |
9 |
out of sync with nvidia drivers to punish them for using proprietary |
10 |
drivers when, for many years those were the only ones that would work.." |

|
12 |
Emperor penguin: "Really, could it be possible?!" |
13 |
|
14 |
Chancelor Penguin: "Well, there's a 90% chance that the entire system |
15 |
can be built with pam disabled but it will require a massive re-build |
16 |
and disabling several dozen default-on useflags and r-dep packages to be |
17 |
removed. It will take the users DAYS AND DAYS! To solve it!" |

penguins -- |

22 |
Emperor Penguin "...Today, we once again re-assert our penguinosity by |
23 |
wasting yet more of the user's time with no reason whatsoever..." |
24 |
|
25 |
Crowd: "MASK PAM! MASK PAM! MASK PAM!!! LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR!!!" |
