The merge window for 6.11 is just around the corner, but I saw that
6.10.2 was available, so here I am:

$ uname -a
Linux lm 6.10.2 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun Jul 28 06:54:27 PDT 2024 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Still using NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-560.28.03.run .

Looking forward to Linux 6.11, because it includes improved
ext4 performance.

Is there a Jenny Craig plan for weaning yourself off your kernel addiction?

Is that what you use to control the diabetes you ate yourself into,
"Bull"?

Doesn't have anything to do with Linux, I'm afraid -- but if you want
to learn how to build your own kernel, I highly recommend the exercise.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.

Except for the not-a-real-word 'cis' you said something normal.

Face it: the Linux kernel is the most successful software project in human
history. With over 20 million lines of code and over 1000 active
contributors, they can manage a new, stable release about every 3-4
months, while proprietary companies like Microsoft struggle to come out
with something genuinely new every 2-3 years.

'most successful' by what measure? Not financial returns to the
developers, that's for sure.

Here's my take on some extremely successful software projects:

Project Measures of success
------------------------ ------------------------------------
MS Windows sales, users, worldwide mindshare,
basis of personal computing for
34 years
Unix (and the BSDs) tech excellence, pioneering
Oracle DB first commercial relational dbms,
still considered the best
Photoshop/Adobe suite features, mindshare
MS Office integration, price, power
Fortran language important early language, efficient,
numeric/science/engineering, still used today
C/C++/Java/Python base for many products
Linux kernel adapted to everywhere and everything
A few Linux distros brought Linux to the public

wtf? MS has developed and maintains hundreds of software products/versions.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/

And even though it costs money, Windows still wildly dominates the
herky-jerky releases of Linux and desktop distros.

Heck, in the recent past, MS SharePoint alone generated more annual
revenue than the entire RedHat Corporation did.

MS is doomed.

You mean, the ability of the owning companies to siphon rent off sucker-
customers?
