    safe bet that Earthwormjim91 was alluding to it when he initially brought up Torvalds

    The image literally is talking about the Linux kernel. Why you would jump to a specific talking point when the post is about the full kernel?

    So no, I think you’re probably the only one thinking this thread was about a specific commit to the kernel.

      Most of this particular comment chain (and it’s the post-Earthormjim comment chain I said was referring to that one patch, not the whole thread) has been you replying to me after I started talking about it, so it’s been the topic whether or not it’s a non-sequitur from the thread as a whole. When one of the participants in a two-person dialogue thinks something’s the current topic, that’s enough to make it the topic.
