Getting stuff out of my head. Occasionally not NSFW. So don't get fired! Also don't get excited because mostly it will be safe.

Ubuntu Update Manager Messages

Here’s something you’d never find on Windows or Mac. This is part of a description of changes made during a regular operating system update on Ubuntu:

Some idiot thought it’d be a good idea if device mapper didn’t respond to “add” events, like those during boot.  Take their change out back and shoot it in the head.  LP: #561390.

The link is for the issue tracking the bug, and if you look at the bottom some are not happy by the ‘idiot’ remark. I don’t have an opinion on that, but what I love is that this kind of transparency is made so visible to the curious end user.
