- Rackedup 4y agoAt least they let you know in the first paragraph but I agree even if it doesn't apply only to the Linux kernel.
- pessimizer 4y agoIf an article in Stamp Collectors Weekly has the headline "The Market is Getting Irrational," is it clickbait for that article to be about the stamp market? It's weird to call someone's site about Linux patches clickbait because it's not about shipping half-finished furniture.
- O__________O 4y agoTo me anything that intentionally misleads or overly generalize a topic which might be clearly and specifically addressed is click-bait by definition. Author does not even mention that the post is specifically related to Pine64’s dependency on the Manjaro distro; a dependency that they not only self selected, but are funding. If they have such a major issue, solution is obvious, either change distros or fork it and only allow patches they are happy with into their ecosystem; not post a petition, of which so far only 16 people have signed since it was posted in June. Also, worth noting that Pine64 originally was built on Ubuntu, which has long-term releases, which is basically what author is asking for.
