…Kernel patch at age 4. Sigh… What have I done with my life?
You done fucked up from the moment you turned 5. That’s where you went wrong. You should have just stopped getting older
Dose mental age count?
You can start now!
I am no developer, but I’ve submitted my first patch a few months ago.
It simply added my laptop to a list of quirks, in order to make the microphone work.
Breaking News at msn.com: “Linux uses child labour!”
Unpaid child labour!
Oh god, maybe they’ll start calling actual child labor “open source”

No matter how many times I read this I have no idea what’s going on. Can someone explain this like I’m 3

That is adorable.
I want her to do a Ted talk on the morality and ethics of making sure no letter is left behind when underlining text.
You mean the inclusivity TED Talk.
Some problems just need a fresh pair of eyes. Sometimes literally.

lazy to not submit a unit test to check for this throughout the repo. That girl isn’t going anywhere with that kind of work ethic
Sphinx has warnings for these already. They’re just suppressed and ignored :)
Somewhere, somehow, this is going to break something lol
It’s almost 9 years ago, I think we’re good.
I reckon we can still mine it for karma for another couple of years…
I don’t know, this feels cringe on some levels…(parents)
This better get backported with high priority.
I just noticed it’s from 2014.
I frankly have to very much agree with her.
This is just adorable. Poor s!
@ken27238 Actually great, it is good to see young people trying to help with a project.

Welcome to Open Source software where its ok to help once and never again. Thats actually not even a bad thing.
Imagine there is this one project that kicks everyones autism and has many issues. But only a team of 100 people is allowed to change its code. I’d rather want the world to change the code and make it improve for everyones liking. Even if it was just one commit and never again.
Think about it this way. It’s a social project. Everybody does their part to help. If they can only help once, great! If they have time to help a few hours a week, great! If they want to help in a significant way, great!
With these social projects, the most important thing is to help, even once.

You’re right he can be a bit crass without needing to be. The outcome of his methods is exemplary, though.

Why not be the change you wish to see, then? Fork it, and surely they will come.
That or Linus’ work is of high enough quality that people are willing to put up with his crass behavior.
Also, somewhat unrelated, but comparing Linus to Elon is a nonstarter. Elon has money, but contributes little more than ego past that. Linus, on the other hand, actually gets his hands dirty. I don’t care for his behavior, but I do respect someone who actually does the work.
