Would have been funny if it was original. Just randomly wasting peoples time with copy-pasta is not cool.

[-] YellowTraveller@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

It's not wasting anyone's time. The github is just a mirror of the official git repo, no one read the PRs so it's commonly used for shitposting Brodie Robertson made a video about it

Doing some research, this is FAR from original. Just dumb old trolling, esp. with all the insults.

By complaining about copypastas you are just making it worse. Can't you see that? Every time you comment and complain about people posting the same comments each time just adds to the incentive for people who think they are funny to continue. I am willing to bet that this comment will turn into a *** copypasta at this point just because of how "funny" and "ironic" it would be to make a copypasta out of a comment complaining about copypastas.

People joke about linux.exe, but there was such a thing as andLinux/coLinux

The GitHub PR section is a shitshow of different freaks trying to get attention from other freaks

I thought the issues on the Linux github repo became a dating service

To be fair, the github.cum/author/project/releases subsection of a isn't exactly the first thing that you find, nor is there a very visible link that stands out.

I must've stumbled across it at some point as I know of its existence, but I don't know how to get there so I usually just manually add it to the URL.

That's the adult-only version.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 days ago

You have to click a random heading in the info section to the right of the code listing (or below it on mobile).

I do also find GitHub's URLs are much more user-friendly than the GUI, though.

[-] squaresinger@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

To be fair again, OOP would probably also have issues with running Linux.exe.

The release page would probably not helped them much.
