THE 3rd release candidate (rc, or RC) of the next Linux version has been released. That was less than a day ago (the announcement is, as usual, entitled "Linux 5.11-rc3").
"Why can't we have actual news that's not provoking and baiting readers?"The original, as usual, isn't particularly exciting. LWN decided to stick to the news, not drama and gossip-type clickbait. Phoronix also chose a reasonably OK headline. What about the corporate news sites? Well, they barely even mention the actual news (certainly not in the headline) and the envisioned spin/dramatisation is all over the place (e.g. "Linus Torvalds rates his own words 'incoherent ramblings of a crazy old man'" and "Linus Torvalds slams....himself over latest Linux build").
The press or the "big media" says nothing about "Linux 5.11-rc3", which is actually the news. Instead, it is just divisive distractions and nonsense. We saw that last week with a very similar example last year. Why can't we have actual news that's not provoking and baiting readers? The video above tackles this visually. ⬆
