lol. Reminds me of the "hypocrite commits" fiasco where researchers at the University of Minnesota submitted kernel patches with what they thought were security vulnerabilities, but because of their inexperience, the first patch they sent was actually valid and had no vulnerabilities whatsoever[1].

Glad to find Systemd mentioned on HN. Just kidding: systemd is not a kernel module.

Does anyone know why this comment is being buried? It's clearly a good spirited joke.

HN is not into jokes very much, need to keep that "we are better than reddit" flag high.
