[flagged] Linux: Make the Kernel Cute (github.com/torvalds)

This is pure spam, and Exhibit A as to why many projects only have mirrors on GitHub


This PR shows why "wah wah your mailing list or non-GitHub forge is too hard to contribute to" is a feature and not a bug


But at least it was not low effort spam.


Spamming Braille Unicode images over a few random comments and print statements is low effort and unfunny.


> The demographic for Linux has a higher than average enjoyment of cuteness, especially with regards to anime

... nope. I loathe the art style of anime, and whatever I see using it I associate immediately with trash.

> While some Linux users may be anime fans, Linux is a production grade kernel used in servers, embedded, distributions and even your local gas pump. ASCII anime art undermines the professionalism and neutrality such a project requires.

Exactly.


Of course Linus would close it, because cute things reminds him of hamsters, those little devils!
