Weirder, every time I see a code snippet on some video, it's the same "struct group_info ...". It is so common that I recognise it every time. I wonder where it is coming from, that makes this snippet so popular?

The thumbnail to this image says "the source code to the Matrix"... so perhaps the movie had used some Linux code, and everybody is copying the movie

It literally says under the image: code of the matrix (Cloned from Keanu’s GitHub), and links to hackertyper.net

I think it's popular due to hackertyper. If you search for things like "hacker code" on google, hackertyper comes first.

It’s the modern Wilhelm Scream
