| schestowitz[TR2] | <blockquote> | Jul 16 09:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>Here's a somewhat sad philosophical question: how long does it take for Ubuntu-based LTS to truly become LTS stable? Apparently, the answer is about two years. So far, if you've followed my diatribes on Linux, Kubuntu 24.04 has not been the most exemplary of LTS editions. Even my fourth attempt showed all sorts of issues and problems and snags, making me feel rather hesitant to upgrade yet | Jul 16 09:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | more systems. Wait, it was my fifth attempt, yeah. So there. </p> | Jul 16 09:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p> But then, Kubuntu 26.04 got released. I actually liked it quite some. In fact, I liked it so much that I've decided to upgrade the system on my ancient 12-year-old Lenovo Y50-70, a really curious beast of a machine. That laptop still has respectable specs by today's standards, including an i7 processor, hybrid Nvidia graphics, 4K display, and recently, I swapped the original mechanical di | Jul 16 09:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | sk for an SSD, which brought about an excellent breath of fresh, minty air. Before I do this upgrade, I want to "explore" Kubuntu 24.04 one last time. Let's see what happens. </p> | Jul 16 09:19 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | "This week, Linus Torvalds made the following statement: | Jul 16 15:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | “[The Linux Kernel] is *NOT* some kind of "social warrior" project, never has been, and never will be.” | Jul 16 15:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Which is peculiar… considering the fact that Linux, himself, regularly uses the Linux Kernel (often as a weapon) to promote Leftist, “Social Warrior” political activism. | Jul 16 15:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Here’s just a handful of examples of Linus using the Linux Kernel for political causes: | Jul 16 15:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | - Linus on the Russia / Ukraine War (after Russian developers were banned from contributing to the Linux Kernel): | Jul 16 15:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | “Did you think I’d be ‘supporting’ Russian aggression?” Linus stated that any who oppose banning Russian developers are part of “Russian troll factories”. | Jul 16 15:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | - Linus pushing the Covid Vaccine (and aggressively attacking anyone who questions it): | Jul 16 15:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | “Please keep your insane and technically incorrect anti-vax comments to yourself. You don’t know what you are talking about … Get vaccinated. Stop believing the anti-vax lies. And if you insist on believing in the crazy conspiracy theories, at least SHUT THE HELL UP” | Jul 16 15:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | And those were specifically posted to the Linux Kernel Mailing list. | Jul 16 15:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Here’s a few more quotes from Linus Torvalds (where he is communicating as the leader of the Linux Kernel project): | Jul 16 15:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | “I am one of those ‘woke communists’ you worry about.” | Jul 16 15:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | “I'm a card-carrying atheist,” | Jul 16 15:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | “A woman's right to choose is very important.” | Jul 16 15:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | “Guns should be carefully licensed.” | Jul 16 15:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Linus (who repeatedly spoke at and is listed as a member of the WEF) also used his position within the Linux Kernel to promote Trans Activism: “I couldn't care less if you decided to dress up in the ‘wrong’ clothes or decided you'd rather live your life without feeling tied to whatever plumbing you were born with.” | Jul 16 15:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | When looking at the statements and actions of Linux Kernel leadership, one things is undeniably clear: | Jul 16 15:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The Linux Kernel *IS* a “social warrior” projects. And that has been the case for many, many years." | Jul 16 15:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | xxxxxxxx > It was Sam's Club. They said they wanted me to do a job interview and then they yanked it without explanation. | Jul 16 15:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | xxxxxxxx > Most of these just end with "We have decided to hire another candidate." but this one scheduled an interview then quietly unscheduled it and then I got that letter. | Jul 16 15:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | xxxxxxxx > They didn't even bother to send a follow-up like don't waste your time showing up here. | Jul 16 15:23 |
