This screenshot is old (at least 12 years).
Yeah this is about the comprehension level I’d expect from a typical Comm major lol.
Woah. Things were different, at least 12 years ago.
“reposotory”
Good news! It’s a suppository.
The suppository of all knowledge

Soppozuuuuuuuuuu !!!
Why is the headline in quotes?
Because trashy people never saw Austin Powers and updated their use of quotation marks to denote sarcasm.
Quotation marks were historically used to add emphasis to text, the way asterisks are used today. Old people who refuse to change and don’t realize their way of writing is actively making fun of themselves still use them this way. These are also the people who watch Fox.
Scare quotes are used informally, but it’s not proper usage like a “news” channel should be doing. Which, fair enough, it’s Fox “News.” But it’s already larger text and all caps - why is more emphasis necessary?
Quotation marks we’re historically used …
Meh. I am in my late sixties, and that was never proper usage. These people were merely always illiterate.
“Scare quotes” definitely precede Austin Powers, though that may have spurred a rise in popularity of the usage. (Also, “trashy people never saw Austin Powers” is honestly a pretty weird statement, IMO.)
That said, in this case, arguably the quotes are appropriate, because “the github dictionary” isn’t something that happened (i.e. a headline), but a thing they’ve made up.

Then it should be THE GITHUB “DICTIONARY.”
No, because the thing they are naming is “The Github Dictionary”; they’re not applying scare-quotes to the word “dictionary” implying that what they’ve written is not really a “dictionary”.
Because of “reasons”
It doesn’t matter. None of faux news viewers can read.
And people say LLMs will degrade our collective knowledge lol
they both will
They’re so fucking stupid and that’s exactly what they want to be.
Fox News viewers would need the concept of “sharing” explained to them first.
Sharing is a type of communism, of course.
Get that damn code Communism out of my country! No more Forking or Cloning! No more importing libraries either! We’re going to build a big beautiful firewall and export all the unsigned binaries. Make Assembly Great Again! And no terminating projects because apps begin at compilation.
Don’t tell them breathing is communism then
We’re all sharing the same communal air? Tragedy of the commons. Someone must privatise it immediately!
That’s why Elmu wants to go to Mars.
What you do with your thoughts and prayers when another dozen children are massacred. BY RIFLES. WHILE THEY WERE UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. AT A SCHOOL.
What the hell? If they just asked ChatGPT it would have been much better:
-
Repository: A folder of project files on the internet.
-
Fork: Your own copy of that folder to make changes.
-
Pull Request: A way to ask, “Can my changes go back into the original folder?”
*reposortory(sic)
To be fair ChatGPT didn’t exist 12 years ago.
Spell-check did though.
Oh yeah, I overlooked that detail.
The Fox News intern probably didn’t need a ton of water and the energy of a small country just to be trained, though.
Human needs more water and less energy, yes.
Get desalination plants and a closed loop manufacturing process and all you need to care about is energy.
Isn’t facebook trying to buy a nuclear power plant?

they would have been better off asking chatgpt.
how is fox dumber than AI?!?
Description says the screenshot is at least 12 years old, though asking google at the time would have probably at least yielded the correct spelling of repository, so I wouldn’t go as far as to dismiss your conclusion
Issue: Form of insult common to this community
Forked: when you dongle a repo and create a clone
Commit: when you marry said code because the clone is yours
“who is this 4Chan”
God, just stop already
I wonder More why was github on tv
This was when they either went public or were bought by microsoft iirc.
