Liz is a Linux enthusiast. She uses Linux as her only operating system for the last two decades, and she is very knowledgeable about it. She is keen to help other Linux new-comers solve issues they run into frequently.

Liz opens !linux@lemmy.ml today and comes across yet another post about a potential new Linux user trying to choose his distro. After ten minutes reading through his post, she finds out that he is only trying to run AAA games on the computer. Liz opens up an identical question she just answered yesterday, and pastes the answer over to the new post.

Liz wasted ten minutes on this post and she is now depressed about it. Liz has the ability to contribute to the community on a deeper level but she cannot do that except she reads through every post first.

Tom is a fellow Linux expert and he feels the same way lately. Coincidentally, Tom and Liz both wasted ten minutes on the same, generic question about choosing a Linux distro.

Hypothesis: If Liz has a way to notify Tom about that post, Tom would have saved ten minutes. Imagine that both Liz and Tom put up a tag on that post for others to see, countless other experts would have saved countless minutes.

As a subscriber of a community which has broad topic selections, I want to tell other viewers that which kind of post this post is, and also know the kind of post before I even read into it, so that everybody saves some time.

It's a momentum from early 2000s. Rockstar (or was it Take 2 by that time?) set a lower moral line in the gaming industry and published games like Man Hunt and GTA III, where you can commit crime without much consequences. The gaming experience was nouveau and a thrill.

Perhaps for old time's sake. It used to be using its own engine.

If you fork, you're gonna have children. Those children will slowly eat up your memory. It's time to hang them up. Shut their pipes. Sometimes they refuse to die, like cats. Control Cat won't work. That's where you want to kill them 9 times.

Looking at your post and the README, I can't figure out what this app does, nor what "second brain" means.

I think the one who wrote this title should be blamed. It may not be intentional, but it sounds like Linus is an evil villain who beat RISC-V superhero.

Look at this function that gets submitted to the pull request.

make_u32_from_two_u16()

These "helper" functions never help for the reasons Linus addressed in the article. As a JavaScript developer, which often results in a messy codebase because of management issues, I hate these functions with a passion. It's usually only the person who wrote it finds it helpful, and only at the week he wrote it. After six months he will just be confused as everyone else.

Garbage, in other word.

Even if it's not garbage, why submit it alongside the RISC-V change? If it's a dependency, submit this one first and postpone your RISC-V change.

RISC-V may not be garbage. It's the industry not getting quality and experienced developers for it.

Is there a filter to block all these EU OS posts, please?

As I see it, it's hardly an open source project but just some malicious start up attempting to get funded by EU then flee off.

Show me your production ready OS, not your POC boot screens.

And perhaps properly name your product. Naming it after 'EU' is self-righteous. What comes next? Earth OS?

You can tell he's human because the code has whitespaces.

Edit: grammar

I hate them too but they are just trying to eat and breed, just like us. So kill them with mercy.

And considering they are already picked up, we should rotate panel 3 by 180 degrees.

You're a nerd for knowing that.
