Everyone must be dumb and dumber. This is your direct order!

So, there are 8+ billions of us on Earth now. Congratulations, everyone! Each of you must be as dumb as possible. This is what genius degenerates who live in ivory towers say.

How do I know that? Simply! Today I was asked to install Fedora Linux for a user, and I had the finest pleasure to peruse their latest and greatest Anaconda installer.

In olden days, we, unwashed masses, had freedom to partition our hard drives as we saw fit. We were allowed to choose conventional partitioning and mount points or LVM. Not anymore.

The genius degenerate who coded Anaconda made it as dumb and counterintuitive as possible. It is no longer possible to choose the disk partitioning scheme or to use custom mount points. It is also incapable of installing by overwriting data on an existing partitioned drive: screw you, user, and screw your efforts! You must delete all of your partitions and start over. Fuck your time!

We get no choice of software. Open your mouth, we will shove Gnome and a standard bunch of shitty software, down your throat. And if you dare to object, we will railroad you.

As an added-value bonus, that shit is now so smart and sophisticated that it keeps throwing up this wonderful little dialog that does not, I repeat, does not mess anything up at all!

I observe a concerted effort, globally, to force and instill in users the obedience to dumb shit, the dumber the better. We no longer try to elevate the user - we stomp them over and keep them as dumb as possible. Why do we need so many dumb people out there? Anybody knows?
