Unintentionally hilarious moments in the world of Linux.
This is what happens when an utterly clueless but unbelievably "hip" non-contributor decides to participate in the Linux kernal mailing list. (Angela's suggestions to the "peoples" reading the list: remove all support for Ethernet, multiple monitors, multiple users, and optical drives.
(Wow Angela! That is like so effing telling them what is!)

Peoples, we're entering a new era of tech - so let's get Linux going
the way people want it to.
1: Remove ethernet support. Ethernet is just bloat - devices only have
it for the stubborn old geezers. Other than that, no one really uses
it. Get over it.

Who expects that thick cabling running through our offices? I don't!
2: Remove multi-monitor support
The new way for technology is mobile. The desktop is dead, and Linux
on the desktop has been deader than dead since it was conceived. No
one, even on the desktop space, really even uses multi-monitors,
anyways.
3: Remove support for multiple users - no one really expects a single
device to be used by two people!
4: Ending optical drive support - when's the last time you ever bought
something on disk for use in your Linux box? The CD, DVD and Blu-Ray
are today what the Floppy was 15 years ago - obsolete and yet still in
use - where you need multiple disks for one thing - And even most
people's internet are faster than a CD drive.

Seems fairly elaborate for a troll post - but I guess it's a modest time investment compared to the expected hilarity... I'd wager that people on the kernel mailing list are able to see through it, though :)

Well, suppose we call "Troll" a Genus, then there can be lots of Species of Troll! Sure, it's not a GNAA troll, but it's definitely a Troll, and the clues come from the ad hominem language thrown in. "Ethernet is bloat for old geezers"? And "remove support for multiple users" clearly misses the "single person" use case of having a user profile not tied straight to root etc, and also the option of a guest account.
So if she thinks she believes all that stuff, which makes her a Troll Deludicus, she also clearly has an agenda outside of Linux that she's working an angle on.
