Hey GNU/Linux enthusiasts! (Distro lackeys go away.)

My marvelous Gentoo portage machine recently updated glib and
several associated packages.

Then, my equally marvelous Midnight Commander suddenly could not
open files.  WTF!  What was a poor boy to do?

Fortunately, the equally marvelous GNU/Linux community came
to the rescue.  A bug report and solution was already submitted
(a LOT of people use MC):

http://midnight-commander.org/ticket/4502

But the problem is not MC but that fucking glib, which is another
product of the assholic freedesktop.org.

Linus Torvalds, the benevolent dictator of the Linux kernel,
has always enforced the basic dictum: do not break user space.

Indeed, one can be assured that the essential kernel API will
remain unchanged and all software will continue to function
as per usual.

But the fucking assholes at freedesktop.org will only say:
"Fuck you.  We can change the fucking API any time we fucking
please without fucking prior notification."

Those freedesktop.org assholes should be dragged into the
street and beaten with heavy chains.
