Why are people talking about this in Linux Kernel Mailing list?
This trend of social and political issues having to be discussed absolutely everywhere ad nauseam is the most deranged thing.
- lalaland1125 5y agoIt's because they are discussing the plans for their next in-person Linux conference and whether they should require vaccinations.
- viraptor 5y agoIt's just an impression that things are different. Newsgroups couple of decades ago had just as much off-topic or purely trolly politics.
- krastanov 5y agoIf you click on the two previous messages and the two followup messages it is pretty clear that the discussion makes total sense (organizing in-person conferences), and that a moderator stepped in to stop the conspiracy-theory tangent before it devolves into a flamewar.
