“reposotory”
Good news! It’s a suppository.

Soppozuuuuuuuuuu !!!
The suppository of all knowledge
Yeah this is about the comprehension level I’d expect from a typical Comm major lol.
It doesn’t matter. None of faux news viewers can read.
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.
Why is the headline in quotes?
Because of “reasons”
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.
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 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?
“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.
Yeah, there was a whole Chris Farley bit with them. So you can figure where the end point of that is.
Like most stuff with Mike Meyers, by the time he included it, it was kind of cringe.

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”.

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?”
To be fair ChatGPT didn’t exist 12 years ago.
Oh yeah, I overlooked that detail.
Spell-check did though.
*reposortory(sic)
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 might even be trying to get an enrichment plant while they are at it, who knows?

Woah. Things were different, at least 12 years ago.
Dafuq is an e-note.
A pull-request to forked your reposotory obviously.
Go fork yourself.
You should make a pull request and fork them yourself if you care that deeply

Let fox news explain shirtballs.
Wow, finally doxxed yourself as The Blue Raja
When you’re on the information superhighway, in cyberspace, sometimes you want to send someone some information (datums). Sometimes an electronic mail is too formal or cumbersome for that, so you instead send them digital text messages, basically cybernetic telegrams, called e-notes.
This comment has too many high syllable words in it. Could you please condense this down into an e-note?
e-note be like
telegrammemorandummemo but not on paper, oncomputermagic blinky box.
An e-note is a full step above a d-note and a half step below an f-note.
Thanks, dad
It’s like intraoffice e-mail.
A little less formal than an e-mails.
It’s part of the new Business Douche language word salad.
Didthey stutta?

Suppository is the opposite of a pull request.
That’s a push response.

Pollo Request. What Walter White was always getting on his phone.
Ah, yes, the supergrown chicken… Pollos Hormonos.
A reposotory is a suppository you can share with others when asked with an e-note.

When i was around 12 years old i thought it was “respiratory”
It’s the thing you insert inside your butt to feel better.
Repsuppository.
Shove this code back up your arse.
This physically hurts me.
Issue: Form of insult common to this community
If these were answers for a high school test it would get a D or something for correctness. I can’t believe an adult, a journalist no less, could be so off.
Its a bit charitable to call fox news journalists.
I’m surprised they didn’t sneak in a swipe about open source being a socialist conspiracy to undermine American ingenuity.
Part of me is bothered by those explanations, but if I had to explain GitHub to a tech illiterate grandparent with that much screen space I don’t know if I would do much better.
Repository: a collection of computer code for a software program (or app if you insist).
Fork: a copy of a repository so you can edit it without affecting the original.
Pull request: a request to the owner of a repo to bring in some changes you made in a fork.
I think I even got the word count down.
Repository: your code.
Fork: my code.
Pull request: u want my code?
in a *branch?
What do trees have to do with computers?
Repository: a collection of related computer code, like related files in a filing cabinet
Fork: a copy of a repository at a certain point in time, like a fork in the road, they diverge from that point
Pull request: a request that a repository owner incorporate your changes into their files.
Why even bother explaining those terms if you only have that much screen space.
I haven’t seen the news release, but I would hope they are explaining those terms because they are going to have someone on to talk about github and they were planning on using said terms
You’d probably spell words correctly though, right?
Given historical evidence of my writing that is not a sure thing.
I wonder More why was github on tv
This was when they either went public or were bought by microsoft iirc.
