Linux github repo is now a dating board

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

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

Heck this looks like a great community. Thanks for the ref!
- Def, wholesome on whole new inconspicuous levels.
  \ (Also lore so depressing that it makes me feel like a still relatively optimistic person. Which I'm not. But the feeling is nice.)
Which comic strip are you refering to ?
- I'm not, I don't remember anything directly related to this, but it just didn't feel far off, like a nice titbit/random mention of a great love story long forgotten that lives is a short legend.

dam they're gonna turn off PRs

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.

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

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.
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.
I mean I'm exactly opposite but sure!
- I will take what I get, I guess..i

Damn. I need to learn how to use git.

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
- Why is it on github then? What’s the point?
I'll merge your pull request if you agree to my no-pull-out request 😈
- What about "I'll accept your pull request if you accept my merge request"?
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...
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”
- Were you trying to say "extended warranty?"

Does this count as a git pull?

Tinder: open source edition

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

Woof c:

hai puppy!! :3
- Woof :D
- arf arf arf !!!

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.

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

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.

I would also like a goddess to worship

These people should be hung, drawn and quartered

Democratization.

WTF!
