I’m almost more irritated by the use of two hyphens instead of a colon after the first definition. They just didn’t give a shit really.

Is that Otto at the controls?

If you take a finished product and gradually take away pieces, you can make a progression out of pretty much anything.

Sardines, olives, capers.

I honestly can’t remember the details, but I followed an Arch guide somewhere (probably the wiki). It definitely prompts me for passphrase on boot.

Downvoters go whoosh.
