The mm-hotfixes pull request was merged yesterday, including my two fixes for two embarrassing bugs introduced also by myself several/many releases ago. If there's a rc8 instead of 6.8 final tomorrow, you know why...

These kids just don't know the feeling of warmth associated with adjusting the volume control on your tape deck just right to be able to wait 10 minutes to see if your game had successfully loaded

We know many of you used the "Manually Sort Folders" Add-on in Thunderbird, and are frustrated that it's not compatible with Thunderbird 115. But we do have a positive takeaway to share:

While the developer has decided to discontinue the Add-on, they are working on a patch to make it part of Thunderbird's core functionality!

As always we'll do our best to keep you posted. Thanks!

So, this is fun, but it really chews through your ChatGPT credits. :`)

I'm working on b4 "code review" mode (grab a series, apply it to your tree, review every patch, send all your acked-by's, reviewed-by's, and individual comments as a one lump batch at the end of your review). The reason I'm playing with this is to see if we can plug in some AI pre-analysis and discussion summaries before the reviewer starts their work.

STOP DOING LOCKS

• CPUS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE WAITING IN VAIN

• YEARS OF SPINNING yet NO REAL-USE FOUND for mutual exclusion and critical SECTIONS

• Wanted to protect from races anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that. It was called "IRQ DISABLE".

• "Yes please let me SPIN optimistically for a while. Please let me SLEEP now instead." - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged

LOOK at what the Kernel Developers have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the local_locks and rt-mutexes we built for them
(This is REAL Code, done by REAL Developers)

• pcp_spin_trylock_irqsave() - ?????
• if (USE_LOCKLESS_FAST_PATH()) lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled();???????
• lockdep_assert_held(this_cpu_ptr(&s->cpu_slab->lock)) ?????????????????

"Hello I would like this_cpu_try_cmpxchg128(&apples) please"

They have played us for absolute fools.

I just wish for a day where copy&paste isn't broken on Linux 😢

I need some medicine go drown anxiety and, this, being able to sleep properly.

Melatonin doesn't do anything.

Does anyone know any?

HOWTO idiot, in 4 easy steps:

1. save the code in [1] as nonexistent.c
2. gcc -O2 -o nonexistent nonexistent.c
3. run and profile the binary
4. wonder why the profiles don't look at all as claimed

This has to be the worst rc1 in the history of me testing out rc1's. Wayland KDE session hangs (including mouse cursor), sometimes for seconds, sometimes permanently. Very nondeterministic, great bisection, much wow.

Me: we haven't played games in a while, what do you think?
Kids: yay!
Me: clicks the steam link app icon on TV
TV: the app is no longer available, remove the icon?
Me: what?

Oops just discovered that our dryer vent was painted shut by virtue of our upstairs neighbour letting us know that their floor above our dryer was warm and damp and welp that's probably been the situation for the past three and a half years

It would be very silly to install and boot the stable kernel instead of the usual latest rc, just because it has some specific version number. But stable kernels need testing too!

Add WHAT?!?

Husky is available again on the Play Store.

Thank you, @a1ba, to manage this issue :blobcathug:
