    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’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.

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

      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.
