  • Not the other commenter, but they likely meant stability with respect to device drivers. The kernel is great at not degrading with a high uptime, but there’s consumer stuff that’s just perpetually unimplemented, buggy, or minimally-functional:

    • Sensor monitoring on Ryzen platforms
    • Realtek NIC chipsets
    • Nvidia cards and proprietary drivers for anything and everything other than compute workloads
    • Nvidia cards older than the RTX 2000 series and FOSS drivers
    • Peripherals targeted towards “gamers”

    None of this is the kernel maintainers fault, of course. The underlying issue is the usual one of shitty corporations refusing to publish documentation and/or strategically abusing the legal system to stifle reverse engineering for interoperability.






  • *or any of the following:

    • Comparisons of the current governance system with failed historical systems
    • “Cisgender” and other slurs
    • Disparaging comments towards executive branch government officials
    • Disparaging comments towards individuals with a net worth exceeding $250 million.
    • Criticisms of companies incorporated in any State except Oregon and which are owned in excess of 51% by any American citizen.
    • Criticisms of companies directly owned in part or in whole by a member of the executive branch or their relatives within 3 generations.
    • Publuc or public-accessible discussion of lobbying.
    • Dissemination of woke ideas both in private and public.
