…Kernel patch at age 4. Sigh… What have I done with my life?
You done fucked up from the moment you turned 5. That’s where you went wrong. You should have just stopped getting older
Dose mental age count?
The Internet didn’t even exist when I was four, let alone Linux, so I don’t feel so bad.
Well, you shoulda been working on ARPANET then, slacker!
Lucky bastard!
she’s going to one of those mythical 20 yo with 15 years of experience 😉
You can start now!
I am no developer, but I’ve submitted my first patch a few months ago.
It simply added my laptop to a list of quirks, in order to make the microphone work.
Breaking News at msn.com: “Linux uses child labour!”
Unpaid child labour!
Don’t threaten the far-right with a good time
Oh god, maybe they’ll start calling actual child labor “open source”

No matter how many times I read this I have no idea what’s going on. Can someone explain this like I’m 3
A girl read documentation and see that all the titles are underlined with -, but one of the letter isn’t underlined like the others (that’s the lonely s). Then she asks the person doing the commit to fix it and they fix it together.
And then the older pair programmer goes to social media and calls out their partners age for clout. Ageism is real in tech. :)
Wow we really can’t just appreciate a wholesome/cute moment?
They’re telling a joke.
I didn’t see how it’s funny.
Because it’s an absurd statement, as in completely obviously not an example of ageism in tech.
Dude is just dense.
Inevitably, there will be times in one’s life when another’s attempt at humor fails to amuse. When striken by such terrible tragedy, take heart, for you have the knowledge that it’s just your opinion, bro.
This is obvious
If nothing else, the smiley can be taken as a hint that it’s not serious.
I would have said “you could be a Linux maintainer,” but given this post, clearly Linux maintainers are less dense than you.
This is truly a Reddit moment
Wow, people didn’t get your joke. What the hell…
I wonder how many 4 year olds are using Lemmy… Ah sorry, there’s the ageism again :<
So in the documentation they had
1.9 Ext4 file system parameters ------------------------------As you can see the ‘s’ doesn’t get a ‘-’ under it. So they changed the documentation to:
1.9 Ext4 file system parameters -------------------------------so the ‘s’ in parameters gets a dash under it.
this seems to be the standard as everywhere else the dashes go for the same length of characters as the above line. Example:
2.0 /proc/consoles ------------------The little girl said the ‘s’ in parameters is sad because it didn’t get the dash under it and it was all alone. So they added the dash.
See the first red box in the documentation text? The underline dashes don’t go up to the last letter (s).
4 year old girl said the “s” was sad because of that, uncle submitted a patch to fix that, and it was accepted.
No no the uncle submitted the patch. The girl did. He helped her though.
So, is it her gmail account, while the minimum age for registration is 13 years? And why does she write about herself in the singular 3rd person?

She spotted that there was a missing
-in the underline for a heading in a piece of documentation, and her parent helped her submit a fix.The first red box shows that the dotted line underneith the text doesn’t go all the way to the s in the text above. In the other red box, the dotted line goes all the way.
The neice submitted a patch to add the missing line.
That is adorable.
I want her to do a Ted talk on the morality and ethics of making sure no letter is left behind when underlining text.
You mean the inclusivity TED Talk.
lazy to not submit a unit test to check for this throughout the repo. That girl isn’t going anywhere with that kind of work ethic
Her coding style is on point, though.
Sphinx has warnings for these already. They’re just suppressed and ignored :)
Can a 4-yr old legally consent to the copyright assignment?
No but the parents can on her behalf
Which copyright assignment?
A bunch of
=aren’t copyrightable but even if they were, the child would retain the copyright.Why wouldn’t they be?
Lol because they’re 4
Some problems just need a fresh pair of eyes. Sometimes literally.

Somewhere, somehow, this is going to break something lol
It’s almost 9 years ago, I think we’re good.
I reckon we can still mine it for karma for another couple of years…
I would like to request a patch to the patch request. The submitter describes the dashes as equal signs and it’s really bugging me.
I frankly have to very much agree with her.
This better get backported with high priority.
I just noticed it’s from 2014.
This is just adorable. Poor s!
@ken27238 Actually great, it is good to see young people trying to help with a project.
I don’t know, this feels cringe on some levels…(parents)
