This is why people go insane and do terrorist attacks, because more and more
people don't really give a shit what they're selling and poor people don't have
a choice..
I know it's bad to compare this to OpenBSD, because it's for free, but we also
don't have a good enough alternative yet (I'm semi-serious here, if it wasn't
obvious)

Yeah, that's what I expected too, but it doesn't seem to be compiling-related
perhaps...
Also by UEFI I think that I meant BIOS related

I can see that you're joking about this, that says a lot

Excuse? You mean I can't excuse my perfection?
I write better shit than OpenBSD does, but not really on same topic, but lets
say that when I put an effort (like OpenBSD hints to do or else it's a bug), I
perfectly explain stuff about what I'm talking or the contex as if my reader is
a loli... almost no one has time to decipher text and gamble wether or not they
are SKILLED ENOUGH TO RTFM provided.

Please stop joking and get serious.

I know how to write it, I just missed it, I don't have infinite free time
and/or patience to reread my replies a bunch of times until absolute
perfection, I think I got my points across well and had explained as if.. you
know the rest.

Yes, I'd like to know, but I have a suspicion which is related to ego.
