I never had that problem.

I could not reproduce. (⌐■_■)

    Have you tried switching your long socks, and wearing your choker?

    Well, that's it. There's no coming back from this. You have to install Mint now.

    You just need to edit virginity.conf in the virginity.d directory.

    I used to have sex, like 25 years ago, when I used Windows.

    Oh so that's why I couldn't get it to work on fresh install. Thought I was just stupid.

    When people ask me why I haven't switch to Linux yet, this is why. I'm too much of a stud 😔

    Graduated pacman emerges... and we all know emerge is Gentoo. This one doesn't compile.

    That is not a problem to me because I never lose. Not even my virginity.

    Is the fact that SteamOS is based on Arch going to change this such that prior Arch users must now suffer through Gentoo or will they stay the same, considering the proprietary inclusions of SteamOS to be enough to exclude it from the fold?

    P.S.: This issue was not submitted by me, it just happened to be the latest submitted issue at the time of this post.

    No.

    A joke like this is funny once. The screenshot in the OP can be reshared endlessly (whether it's real or not), and anyone trying to make another iteration of this joke is just spamming the project with useless noise. It makes work for maintainers.

    Fortunately it seems like this hasn't been a problem in this particular repository, unlike the Linux repository which received endless spam before GH gave them the tools to block it. But if this becomes a trend, Arch might need to deal with dozens of joke issues per week, and there's just nothing funny about that.

    Edit: just confirmed that the OP screenshot is fake, which is good. (Issue #4269 doesn't exist yet and the number itself is two memes.)

    Woah, I wasn't prepared for that. I understand now why the FSF close their doors to unvetted outside contributors, if this is what github has become

    Yeah...

    I wouldn't say this is "what GitHub has become" per se, only a handful of unlucky projects need to deal with PR/issue spam. What @Zangoose@lemmy.world said is right, the Linux PR spam is largely inconsequential because GitHub PRs (or issues) were never accepted in the first place.

    But then there Express.js, which receives loads of useless PRs because some terrible YouTube tutorials show kids how to make baby's first GitHub pull request: https://github.com/expressjs/express/pulls?page=1&q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed+Readme.md So in a way this is what GitHub has become. This and the inescapable AI crap.

    To be fair, Linux isn't developed on GitHub (it's developed on the Linux Kernel Mailing List and kernel.org) and most of the spammers knew that going into it. The PRs on that repo were mostly just people trolling any bystanders that took it seriously until the internet did what they do best and took the joke too far.

    In this specific example they didn't waste anyone's time or resources because it was never being used or monitored in the first place.

    Edit for more additional context: Linus (who created git in the first place) mentioned not liking centralized git servers so he's specifically said for multiple years that he never considered actually moving development over to something like GitHub
