Linus has [1]released the 5.7-rc6 kernel prepatch , which contains a bit more churn than he would like. " That said, there's nothing particularly scary in here, and it's not like this rc6 is outrageously big or out of control. I was just hoping for less. "

The spectacle of astrology in the White House -- the governing center of
the world's greatest scientific and military power -- is so appalling that
it defies understanding and provides grounds for great fright. The easiest
response is to laugh it off, and to indulge in wisecracks about Civil
Service ratings for horoscope makers and palm readers and whether Reagan
asked Mikhail Gorbachev for his sign. A contagious good cheer is the
hallmark of this presidency, even when the most dismal matters are concerned.
But this time, it isn't funny. It's plain scary.
