Does anyone have a link to the 12k page long discussion?

It's a reference to a famous Twitter post: https://twitter.com/dril/status/107911000199671808
I really wish web denizens would use memes with their own local color which, when applicable, are also true.

I mean, I'm sure Matthew knows some really long, legendary Linux Kernel Mailing List thread that is at least somewhat related to this post. It would be fun because then we could click the hyperlink, and Linux Kernel Mailing List threads are nothing if not dramatic. :)

Instead, here every web tribe localizes a meme that traces back to a dead end Tweet. So instead of getting to travel back to the actual tribe's colorful flame history, I get the tribe's low-effort localization of a dead Twitter stump. Boo!

It's a meme, there isn't such a thread (probably). I mean, there is no lack of flame wars about ACPI out there, but that megathread mention is a meme used about controversial subjects.
