    Any fucking thoughts on the new kernel-6.18?

    I don't care. I quickly build and install every new
    kernel just so that I don't fall behind.

    But the kernel release schedule is far too frequent.
    It's about every 3 months when it should be every 6 months
    or even every fucking year.

    The other critical package is glibc which is released every
    August and February.

    How many of you despicable distro lackeys (aaw, did I hurt
    your feeble feelings with that nasty insult?) actually build
    your own kernel and glibc?

    Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

    Those who do nothing don't give a fuck about anything.

    That adequately describes this pseudo-group.

    BTW, I was running 6.18-rc7 for quite a while, and that's
    the release candidate that became 6.18.

    EVs are a joke in most of the country. They're for tooling around the block
    in the city. They're ridiculous on the highway, especially in mountains
    and wind.

    OK, so you do nothing. It's not the discovery of the century. But, your admission is a discovery.


    That adequately describes this pseudo-group.

    And you.
