      You done fucked up from the moment you turned 5. That’s where you went wrong. You should have just stopped getting older

      The Internet didn’t even exist when I was four, let alone Linux, so I don’t feel so bad.

      I am no developer, but I’ve submitted my first patch a few months ago.

      It simply added my laptop to a list of quirks, in order to make the microphone work.

    No matter how many times I read this I have no idea what’s going on. Can someone explain this like I’m 3

      A girl read documentation and see that all the titles are underlined with -, but one of the letter isn’t underlined like the others (that’s the lonely s). Then she asks the person doing the commit to fix it and they fix it together.

        And then the older pair programmer goes to social media and calls out their partners age for clout. Ageism is real in tech. :)

                Because it’s an absurd statement, as in completely obviously not an example of ageism in tech.

                Inevitably, there will be times in one’s life when another’s attempt at humor fails to amuse. When striken by such terrible tragedy, take heart, for you have the knowledge that it’s just your opinion, bro.

                I would have said “you could be a Linux maintainer,” but given this post, clearly Linux maintainers are less dense than you.

      See the first red box in the ext4 documentation text? The underline dashes don’t go up to the last letter (s).

      4 year old girl said the “s” was sad because of that, uncle submitted a patch to fix that, and it was accepted.

      She spotted that there was a missing - in the underline for a heading in a piece of documentation, and her parent helped her submit a fix.

      The first red box shows that the dotted line underneith the text doesn’t go all the way to the s in the text above. In the other red box, the dotted line goes all the way.

      The neice submitted a patch to add the missing line.

    lazy to not submit a unit test to check for this throughout the repo. That girl isn’t going anywhere with that kind of work ethic

      Her coding style is on point, though.

    Can a 4-yr old legally consent to the copyright assignment?

      Which copyright assignment?

      A bunch of = aren’t copyrightable but even if they were, the child would retain the copyright.

    I would like to request a patch to the patch request. The submitter describes the dashes as equal signs and it’s really bugging me.
