From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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. :)

I wonder how many 4 year olds are using Lemmy... Ah sorry, there's the ageism again :<

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.
