What's the story behind the Great Unfuckening that took place between v4.18-rc8 and v5.6?

  i like to think it’s solely down to linus. 4.18 was the second half of 2018, around the time linus took some time away and went off doing therapy to work on his “communication issues”.

    It's not. I can't reproduce the exact datapoints from the site using `git grep`, but most of it seems to be down to a single commit that removed repeated usage of fuck from one file: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/a44d924c81d43ddffc985aca14aeeaf1abd6dd22 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/a44d924c81d43ddffc9...

      I'm getting the feeling someone has strong feelings about IOC3. From a quick bit of googling that appears to be a Silicon Graphics ASIC

      why did you have to ruin my hopes and dreams with facts and research? /s (that was actually interesting to scan through, dunno why but i found the `[it] is fucking fucked` -> `[it] is broken` lines hilarious)

  They stopped giving a F and started to give a S (lots of it)
