I made an account on there to ask for help a couple times they have like a forum section and I posted on an issue section once and I have cloned many gits and downloaded files from the website before but I have never contributed I am still learning to code so I don't know how that works.
>>
>>107830949
I'm an expert at coding, I have mastered every single area of programming including hacking programs while they are live across multiple languages and I still do not know how to use github. Github is the most difficult most nonsensical design I have ever seen. The instructions of each program does not come with the program. Every time I encounter this problem I find it easier to program my own drivers. PLEASE HELP. PLEASE HELP.

why does everyone type with em dashes now? i don't remember this being a thing prior to a few years ago. did chatgpt really influence the way that everyone thinks of the english language? and i'm not suggesting that he generated that text, i mean that much more people are naturally typing this way now
>>
>>107830973
Maybe see if there is a YouTube tutorial or a help section on the site.

duplicate thread

what are you struggling with? github is just git with social media tacked onto it. you don't have to use the website at all

notice how he didn't use AI tools to write the complex part of the program? if you think this mean its over then that tells more about you than anything else

>>107830975
Probably because a lot of obnoxious faggots found out that you can type them (-, ‒, –, —) with the keyboard and they're enforced in some sites (years before the chatsloppers).
It's more a formality of printers from the past, but still something standardized, even if they all look kinda the same.

Please do the needful

I think Outlook changes regular dashes to em dashes, though not sure if that's to hide that e-mails are written with AI or if it's just where AI learned em dash behavior from.

I can speculate on Linus. He's older and educated. I imagine some mix of his formal education and being a non-native English speaker, combined with picking up habits from the gorillions of people he communicates with online for decades; is a factor.
Linux being as widespread as it is, I imagine he must get dragged into formal situations too.
As an anecdote, my English has incidentally expanded (for better or worse) due to having to write published documentation, attempting brevity. On top of typical text messages with people near and far.

Why other people do it, idk. Maybe the same trajectory minus the ESL?
I think my communication is mostly influenced by my region and has been influenced by communicating on the internet + real world travel to places of foreign vernacular.
There's something about English being the modern Latin / lingua franca of the world, and access to the internet, that is causing all these standards (native, new; foreign, old) to organically mix into a net standard?

just google how to build the repo you downloaded. Or download opencode (this is not an ad), go to the repo and open opencode, then ask it to build it, Werks everytime.
>>
>>107831172
It's over because he felt it would be acceptable to vibe code any part of the program. There's only one direction this can go.
>>
>>107830975
it's always been a thing among native english speakers with a high school education, you just started noticing it after the chatgpt thing because you weren't aware of it prior, google "frequency bias"
>>
Heh. Now watch all those /C/ultists that have been shitting on AI/vibecoding (calling it slop/clanker/zoomer/low iq shit/etc) will now start using it too (well... you see... if Torvalds did it then I'm now allowed too). You know who I'm talking about, the "You don't need autocomplete/code highlight unless you are low iq" crowd. Fucking cattle.

how do you even use the em dash? Like lets assume I want to start acting sophisticated and smart, I literally don't know what keys to press to get the em dash

github is for hosting code, all operations to the code are done by the `git` command from terminal
the github website itself is where you view the code or download the source code or submit bug reports
>>
>>107831606
By using the unicode input (at least in linux):
[Ctrl+shift + u] (to activate unicode encoder) and a number
a

2212 (minus), 2012 (tel. number dash), 2013 (en, range), 2014 (em), 2015 (horizontal, quotation dash)

[Ctrl+shift + u] 2014 = —

you can also use compose key, gnome tucks it into tweaks. I am sure KDE has it in somewhere too

in every book (and I believe even in the 90s) they all use dashes to indicate extra context/info

It's officialy over. In 1 year, manual coding will be purely recreational activity. Time to learn the new tools or you will be fired in 2026

You will be fired anyway? Why help aiilmaos firing you?

He never said that.

More like "AI probably knows more about signal processing in python than me", which is probably true for most people but if you want to excel at that you gotta actually learn your shit

>>107830897
This is the tenth thread on the subject. The first one posted literally 3 hours after he made that repo.
Hop of his dick little bro.

its not https://github.com/torvalds/AudioNoise/blob/main/visualize.py
valid point to just use AI if you don't want to maintain and read the shitty matplotlib docs.

i am reading youtube comments from 6 years ago and i don't see a single person using them
