Great, he 'doesn't want'.

Now that that's settled, what is he going to _do_, to achieve what he says

That's what I wrote it for. However, cannot lead the horse to water, of

Yes, the sky is always falling. News at 11.

That's nice. Me, I'm a bit busy managing systems. Which involves
mostly dealing with software and making things work. There have been
times in the past when you've written a few things about that, too.

Yes, we know you're a Void Linux user. Thus all the extremely
impassioned Devuan fervour. ;->
