Well, if you have a constructive suggestion which site to link instead regarding kernel developments, I am all ears:

  • Not sure that raw commits are readable or have sufficient context for non kernel development readers here
  • LWN, particularly timely/kernel development news there, has gone mostly paywall, and there will be (legitimate) complaint if I link articles needing a LWN subscription

Well since kernel development is one of the harder topics in the whole IT industry, it's understandable that the websites that make news about it do need to use privacy invasive ways to earn money (whether it's a paywall or an extremely invasive data collection) because the audience is stable and extremely small. But it does not make them safe in any way. They're still sus in terms of privacy (which is what I meant). I'm far far away from anything like kernel development so I can't suggest anything related to it unfortunately. I think it will be the best choice to admit that my sense of humour, as well as my communication abilities, is far from being decent enough not to create misunderstandings, suspicions and double meanings like in this case, and end this discussion. Almost all the arguments on the internet only spread hate and aggression anyways and I don't want that (you were not aggressive though)

As a fellow poor communicator, I just want to say that I appreciate your self-awareness.

Thank you, mister. Though after looking at your post history I can say that your communication ability is 1000% better than mine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
