    Anything can be a dating app, if you are desperate enough.

    On that note, I am looking for smart, charming and funny girl, who is willing to date me… /s

    Pull requests, huh? I have like half a dozen bad jokes half formed in my brain…

    But seriously, is this a thing on github these days? Spam through PRs (and presumably also Issues)? Can it be mitigated?

    But I’m pretty sure Github is not the main place to develop the Linux kernel. I believe they have their own git servers and GH is only a mirror, so maybe PRs from GH are ignored altogether? IDK

      Linux kernel does not accept contributions from github so this repo was always like that

      The only new thing here is this

          It’s basically a read only mirror with links to the right place. That makes it easier to find or clone for many people

              I’m pretty sure the mirror was setup before that was an option. No reason to turn it off now that it’s a source of entertainment.

                Is it an option? Can’t find it. (But GitHub is confusing and I’m old, so maybe there’s something?)

      I’ve heard maintainers getting spammed with AI generated Issues and stuff. This is just a stupid meme from some weeks ago, trying to merge some Anime ASCII Art into the Kernal Panic log message, because the kernel should be more weeb-friendly.

      You’re right, Linux Kernel development happens on an own cgit instance. Given how much Linus loves distraction, he’d be better off by not looking into Github at all.

            Well, no. As soon as the news was out I started looking for alternatives, and moved there. That was 2017. I still have my GH account though, and ever since then I’m watching the decline, like adding of premium features (read: removal of basic functionality for puny mortals).

              Yup, I still keep mine, and have barely used it in the last 2 years. I moved to self-hosted git the moment I heard MicroShit was buying it.

                Back then I didn’t trust myself to self-host that. Needlessly! It’s not hard and i already had my server anyhow. But yeah, read the signs of the times and get out before, IDK, they claim your intellectual property or you get addicted to the quasi social media addons.

      Why stop at dating? I just realized other possibilities, like “we have trying to reach you about your car insurance

          Kernel undercarriage rust inhibitor.

          There are some older Linux kernel developers who might actually be interested in that, too.

      As I said in my other comment, contrib. over github is already not accepted. And yes these are humans not bots. Pull requests were already filled with bizarre stuff for years before this started

      It’s just some silly fun.

    One of the programmers where I worked left the project to do other things. So our project lead opened a bug ticket in our public tracker to find a replacement. Sure enough, we got some candidates that way.

      I am not a kernel dev but I am pretty sure all issues/patches are sent/reviewed over the mail list. I think the gh issues are ignored and should probably be turned off.

        That resolves my confusion. I was wandering what is going on, if its a meme or what. But that’s actually pretty funny. Its a way to gatekeep kernel dev for people who are willing to put in effort, which shows it’s important to them making commits more serious I guess? Like it hinders people to do the AI spam shit that curl reported, on the other hand it also hinders getting into Linux dev a bit by making it more complicated than just a little pull request

      Wait, are there repo that just has dating info? You just make PR for your profile. Honestly with GitHub free pages we could definitely do that lol
