Heavily editorialized title.
lkml in a news post is like clickbait for a certain susbet of the techy crowd. I think we need a collective understanding that if someone other than lwn is reposting lkml it's just drama-mongering, pot-stirring or muckraking.
I think it attracts people because it carries the possibility of being something significant given the crowd there and kernel itself. But it's just the mundane day to day of people working on subject matter too dry for one to subscribe to in the first place.
- zurn 12y agoThis is the forum at David Kanter's Real World Tech site where people come to discuss computer architecture (think comp.arch heir), not LKML.
- forgottenpass 12y agoThe site was down, the pastebin mirror was just a email message I assumed lkml. I think the point still stands though.
