Gods damn but do I hate the “Discourse bot” gamification encouragement bullshit. I had to sign up for the LLVM Discourse forum because they fucking got rid of the mailing lists that had served perfectly well for years and it’s giving me pats on the back for “sticking around and reading things.”

I was on the mailing lists for well over a decade, you stupid machine, and unlike some people I can actually handle reading messages distributed as text without something holding my hand.
