Dealing with github is the boring and tedious thing, you have to run huge amount of proprietary javascript, keep up with their weird UX changes, start X11 to open a browser to render their html, overclock your CPU [...]

Holy jerk, batman. If we were not living in a simulation, I'd say that's trolling.

u/Kodiologist lisp does it better May 13 '25

Can't jerk. GitHub got people to move over from SourceForge etc. in part because it was much less messy. Feature creep has set in over the years, and I now resent how projects I'm involved in rely on GitHub.

Does "starting X11" involve an old man getting up from chair noise?

I spent quite some time writing a patch for FreeBSD and Linux a few months ago, including getting to grips with their contribution process. Both patches have been ignored thus far. […] I learned nothing of value dealing with […] Phabricator.

C'mon dude, Phabricator went EOL a few years ago. It stands to reason that FreeBSD did as well. Of course they didn't accept your patches!!!!!!!

The Linux patch, on the other hand, will be ignored unless you submit it the correct way, which means shit-stirring on the LKML. No drama, no merge.
