    This has been happening forever. This old post always pops up in my mind for some reason as a historic example from an earlier linux boom.

    Unfortunately, people have been pushed to not call out such things, because it’s “not nice”, when as the blog above shows, not calling it out is what’s not nice, and potentially dangerous.

      Yeah. I called out someone here on Lemmy for just completely making shit up about some kernel feature, linked the documentation showing the actual meaning, and got downvoted for it.
