This link captures the confusion about how to pronounce "fsck": https://lwn.net/Articles/190223/ Here's the truth. Ted Kowalski, username frodo, may he rest in peace, was the original author, just down the hall from my office in Murray Hill, and his name for the program had a 'u' where there is now an 's'. Management made him change it for distribution, but they couldn't make him change his pronunciation.

      I have no problems with developers being furries, I just don’t understand why he’d put pictures of circumcision in his project.

      For the record, I’m not boycotting his stuff, I never used it in the first place. I’m just flabbergasted by the situation. Why include the furry and circumcision pictures? Just why?

          Damnit. I’m thinking about it now. Make it stop.

          No, I need to know how it ends.

          It’s like a Japanese game show with shaving cream, a badger, and a baby!
