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

Spam through PRs (and presumably also Issues)?

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

SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world on 20 Sep 15:20 collapse

Were you trying to say “extended warranty?”

UpperBroccoli@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 20 Sep 16:37 collapse

Kernel undercarriage rust inhibitor.

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

passepartout@feddit.org on 20 Sep 15:08 next collapse

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.

Github enshittification…

jjlinux@lemmy.zip on 22 Sep 13:47 collapse

Yeah, surprising right? Right?

A_norny_mousse@feddit.org on 22 Sep 14:07 collapse

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).

jjlinux@lemmy.zip on 22 Sep 14:12 collapse

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.

A_norny_mousse@feddit.org on 22 Sep 14:19 collapse

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.

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

The only new thing here is this

errer@lemmy.world on 20 Sep 16:50 collapse

Why is it on github then? What’s the point?

jokro@feddit.org on 20 Sep 16:56 collapse

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

frongt@lemmy.zip on 20 Sep 17:11 collapse

Why do they accept PRs then? Pretty sure you can turn that off.

Static_Rocket@lemmy.world on 20 Sep 17:38 next collapse

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.

koala@programming.dev on 20 Sep 20:01 collapse

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

Zamundaaa@discuss.tchncs.de on 20 Sep 18:15 collapse

Afaik you very much can not turn it off

pastermil@sh.itjust.works on 21 Sep 07:09 collapse

I’ll merge your pull request if you agree to my no-pull-out request 😈

ferric_carcinization@lemmy.ml on 21 Sep 07:20 collapse

What about “I’ll accept your pull request if you accept my merge request”?

JizzmasterD@lemmy.ca on 20 Sep 16:09 next collapse

Democratization.

phoenixz@lemmy.ca on 20 Sep 16:37 next collapse

So is this just AI spam or is it just some practical joke or protest?

yogurtwrong@lemmy.world on 20 Sep 16:41 collapse

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.

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

serenissi@lemmy.world on 21 Sep 07:24 next collapse

I mean I’m exactly opposite but sure!

I will take what I get, I guess…i

I also am looking for what this guy is looking for and I can cook, clean, and sing Wheel in the Sky. I also use Arch btw.

Yeah I am a hot girl. Send me a monero and I will send you a pic of a hot girl me.

Monero 15. I hope they are enough.

solrize@lemmy.ml on 20 Sep 23:13 next collapse

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.

daggermoon@lemmy.world on 21 Sep 07:24 next collapse

I would also like a woman to worship

… did c/unix_surrealism predict this or did it somehow fall though the cracks of reality translations?

ki9@lemmy.gf4.pw on 22 Sep 17:36 collapse

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.

WbrJr@lemmy.ml on 24 Sep 22:39 collapse

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

mub@lemmy.ml on 23 Sep 08:44 collapse

The obvious question that needs asking is, can we fork?
