..here, you flip "tech merit" on its head, pulseaudio made it into
"Linux" because we were too damned naive, just like the train loads
of Jews enroute to Auschwitz, "Gas us??? Then why the fuck did the
Gestapo boss throw my 95 year old Great Grand parents off the boat
in Oslo for 'health reasons'"????? That makes no sense!!!!!"...
..what did make sense to the Nazis, was save on guard manpower
by using common sense or common decency to trick the train loads
of Jews into not rioting, but "wait and see what happens in
Auschwitz."
..all it took, was flip "tech merit" etc common sense, on its head.
