  • The blog post is confusing, but the image is very clear.

    5.2.0 was released. Then 5.2.1, 5.2.2, 5.2.3, 5.2.4, 5.2.5, and 5.2.6 were released as stable updates. Pretty straightforward.

    After 5.2.0 came out, normal development continued toward the upcoming 5.3.0 in Linus’s mainline tree. As bugfixes for real problems (crashes, data corruption, build breaks, security issues, etc.) were written and merged into mainline, a subset of those fixes was then backported to the 5.2.y stable branch and released as 5.2.1, 5.2.2, and so on.

    In other words, there is a separate 5.2.y branch, but most of its changes are not developed there first. They are developed in mainline (the code that will eventually become 5.3.0 and beyond) and then cherry-picked back into 5.2.y as “stable” bugfixes. There is no “merge 5.2.x back into 5.3.0”; instead, stable only takes fixes that are already in mainline.

    This means that any fix you see in a 5.2.y release should already be present in the mainline code that leads to 5.3.0 (or replaced by an equivalent fix there). So when you move from 5.2.6 to 5.3.0, you should not lose any of the bugfixes you were getting from the 5.2.y stable series.




  • Every time I said this, I get downvoted.

    People on here get really weird about and start downvoting and insulting people who call it X, because they refuse to accept the stupid new name… What are you clinging on to? Twitter is DEAD.

    Yes, the new name, X is stupid. It’s now the Nazi platform X, accept that and stop using the Nazi platform. Your line in the sand is way further back than it should be, you can’t keep using the platform and insist you’re giving the finger to Elon by calling it Twitter.

    Stop using Twitter, accept that Twitter is dead. Stop using the Nazi platform.





  • Hillary was probably the worse:

    I won the places that represent two-thirds of America’s gross domestic product… So I won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward. And his whole campaign, ‘Make America Great Again’, was looking backwards,

    Obama:

    Referring to working-class voters in old industrial towns decimated by job losses, the presidential hopeful said: “They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

    John Kerry:

    You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq

    These are slip ups, if you search for coded ways they describe their opponents, you can find a lot more “low information” and “uneducated” examples.

    Remember Joe the plumber? He was a reaction to republican voters feeling unrepresented as blue collar workers.

    This kind of class contempt absolutely isn’t unique to Democrats, but their obsession with courting higher educated voters has branded their contempt for those who aren’t.





  • Chinese Tesla would be buyers don’t care about Elon’s Nazi salute or his fascist ambitions. One of Elon’s dumbest moves was to open the China factory, they sold like hot cakes until China did what China does…

    You can buy a premium trim fully loaded zeekr x for under $30k, it’s a dual screen Model Y on steroids with significantly more luxury features, why would you buy a Tesla with all the Chinese EVs offering more for less?



  • Dude, I agreed with you, it’s not a socialist utopia…

    And we seem to agree that America is utterly dysfunctional, and the average American is worse off than the average Chinese.

    I’m not sure why you felt the need to describe the average person, I wasn’t defending China… I already agreed it’s not a socialist utopia. It’s a capitalist hellhole with remnants of socialism/communism that keep the average person housed and fed.

    But in America today you can get arrested without due process and shipped to another country for being too brown, you can get thrown in jail for speaking against the genocide America is funding, and you don’t even get housing or food or healthcare to show for it, just work until you die so the rich can get richer and you can leave your kids with a mortgage.




  • Wow reading a page to see a list of companies that support an active genocide is too much to ask?

    You can reject all cookies and still see everything. You really have to invent unpassable obstacles just to find an excuse to not do the bare minimum?

    We’re not asking you to donate, we’re not asking you to fight, we’re simply asking you to avoid giving your money to corporations that profit off the genocide industry, and you’ll help your own country and give your children a chance at a better future by not supporting corporations with extremely oppressive practices.

    The BDS list is the bare minimum you can do, you can also try to be conscious in how you spend your money outside of that by checking each product you consume individually. This app makes it easy to scan and a barcode and instantly know if the product is made by a company that directly opposes your principals: https://www.boycat.io/
