      We truly are witnessing the death of open source in real time. Thanks AI!

          I’m just imagining a bunch of sweaties telling people they work for Linux as a cybersec expert, burning through $300 of tokens a day.

              Why does everyone always use the old photos of chubby Linus?

                  Because they have to nerf him somehow, can’t just have worlds sexiest kernel developer getting everyone soaking wet all the time.

                    He’s getting older. Maybe they just want a younger shot.

                    Middle of last year:

                        Huh, apparently he lost weight last year.

                        But that’s probably why, it only happened last year, and he’s not so much a public figure that he gets photographed often.

                          Email systems and mailing lists are antiquated. Dumb behaviours make management of the system even harder.

                              I agree with you. It makes interacting with Linux kernel development tedious and I think they like it that way.

                              It falls apart pretty quick when they reach a certain size which is what ai posts increase the chance of.

                              Still it has the advantages of being decentralized which keeps it off things like GitHub issues which is probably for the better.

                                  You’re putting this like llm spam is somehow a managed problem in github issues, where it’s very much the same overwhelmed system with no good solution.

                                      I’m not saying that at all.

                                        It’s not though, hence this issue. Moderation, organisation and management tools are lacking because it’s email

                                            I think it’s time the Linux maintainers put their heads together and come up with a decentralised tool for managing these issues much in the same way git was created for managing the source code of Linux

                                                Git was created because one of those developers actually had a problem. The fact that they haven’t tried to replace the mailing list yet suggests they don’t actually have a problem with it.
