Never liked that branding for idiots.

I've used OpenBSD since 2000. I own a PinebookPro. The tired and lame title makes me think the author is a joke (right or wrong) and I end up not wanting to bother giving this a try.

Maybe try not being so easily offended? It is just a figure of speech after all (and a rather common one).
It's about branding you Idiot. Read the comment.
When I write documentation, I usually target it at an idiot. The idiot in question is me in six months when I've forgotten all this stuff. It's not an insult.
lmao
I see it as a direct reference to the "for dummies" books.
