Many legs and hairy? It's a spider.

telemetry will still be strictly opt-in

I think OP is talking about the fact that most new projects use "main" now, so "master" likely indicates an older project.

(I'm just bitter because of VBA okay?)

Almost as bad as Teslas!

I was once on a video call with my sister, walking around the house and getting more and more frustrated as I did so. Eventually she asked me what I was looking for.

"I CAN'T FIND MY GODDAMN PHONE!"

She burst out laughing.

I wonder if Sasha would like brandy and a mince pie?

It has DP 1.4 though.

I'm still upset at how hard it is to get a monitor with multiple DP inputs...

I don't know why the Steam Machine doesn't have DisplayPort 2.0 (release June 2019)...

Those patches get either pulled from upstream or built in-house and shared to upstream. Just like in Debian, and just like in the regular Ubuntu releases, the package is based on some upstream version and then the deb packaging applies the patch sets as listed in the diff tarball.

Here's what the latest kernel for Ubuntu 26.04 look like: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/6.17.0-6.6

Those same tarballs are available for any Ubuntu package by running apt source <pkg> as long as you've configured the matching deb-src repositories.

You mean things like cloud-init, juju, a ton of work they do directly upstream on openstack, hardware certifications (which include things like getting vendors to upstream their drivers into the mainline kernel — something even Google has struggled with for Android), and making it more feasible for more companies to run Linux by providing the sort of long-term support that the community just doesn't prioritise?
