Linux version 5.6 implemented a 64-bit patch that supports 32-bit
architectures. This has been in use for 4 years. My boss
hyperventilated a lot about Y2k and I kept telling him the problem was
not going to happen and to stop getting butt-aches over it. News media
wouldn't have a story if they can't drum up fear.

Had to look that up, but yes.
But from a less selfish standpoint, with all the stuff going on in
the world right now, it seems like there are bigger problems that
need solving between now and 2038. If my kids are still around in
2038 (and apes or cockroaches or space aliens don’t rule the world),
I hope the worst problem they face is whether Linux has a date
rollover problem. Rather than being like Charlton Heston shouting
you bastards, you finally did it, you blew it up!

"The latest time which can be represented like this is 03:14:07
UTC on January 19, 2038," said Zimmie. "Once the timer is
incremented from this second, the value 'overflows' and goes from
being a large positive number to being a large negative number.
The next second this counter can represent is 20:45:52 UTC on
December 13, 1901. This is called the Year 2038 Problem."
