Diagnosing mental disorders of FOSS developers

Or the reason why software bloats exponentially of late.

All I wanted was GPS-synced NTPD. Instead I got a snowballing compilation of 1/2 the OS.

Truth is: you don't.

Ekiga is history. Linphone is history. What's left? Right, Zoiper.

Why is it available to MicroSIP that is running in Wine then? What is your fucking problem, Zoiper?

Here's how it works in real world.

The root cause of the economic and political catastrophe of the USA and Europe is...

Two words: Stack Exchange. Destroy it, and all of the troubles will go away. That troll nest, which nurtures toxic behavior/atmosphere, protects trolls, breeds them, allows them to self-govern their trolling, and prosecutes innocent askers is the sole reason for the US and European economies and social fabrics to be in abysmal disarray and crumbling. This is my last warning to both regions: do it or ignore at your own peril.
