Suppository is the opposite of a pull request.
That’s a push response.
Thanks AWESOMEO
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.
Supposotory*
Repsuppository.
Shove this code back up your arse.
It’s the thing you insert inside your butt to feel better.
I’m almost more irritated by the use of two hyphens instead of a colon after the first definition. They just didn’t give a shit really.
I’m sure they could have afforded an em dash.
Well, – you see – a colon can never follow quotation marks, in traditional typography: only ever two hyphens~
At least they didn’t call it a suppository.
“GitHub just reached its 1 billionth suppository!!”
“Hopefully it will help with shit. Let’s talk to the originating author, Aasish Pokhrel.”
shit init
Is this is where hacker named 4chan lives?
I’m convinced that’s ment to get people riled up.
Either that or they’re doing the same amount of research they normally do. It’s hard to tell.
But then why use
Term: explanation
and directly below that
“Term”-- explanation
And directly between those: “Term”–explanation (no space after “–”)
I think
--explanationis the command line switch to output a brief summary of a git command.
Oh my gods I didn’t even notice that until you pointed it out. It’s so upsetting.
For the same reason the whole title is in quotes: American literacy is very poor.
If it’s too correct Americans can’t read it.
From Fox News? Couldn’t be.
It’s 10pm, do you know where your Secrets are?
“who is this 4Chan”
God, just stop already
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?”
deleted by creator
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.

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.
You’d probably spell words correctly though, right?
Given historical evidence of my writing that is not a sure thing.
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.
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.
in a *branch?
What do trees have to do with computers?
Repository: your code.
Fork: my code.
Pull request: u want my code?
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
I wonder More why was github on tv
This was when they either went public or were bought by microsoft iirc.
Fox News viewers would need the concept of “sharing” explained to them first.
Sharing is a type of communism, of course.
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.
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.
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.
At least chat gpt would have spelled it right for fucks sake.
Did they let a 6 year old write that up?
THEY GET PAID TO DO THIS. SOMEONE GETS PAID TO CHECK IT TOO.
Or am I being trolled.
You know how scam emails intentionally include mistakes because they want to filter out smart people? Same idea.
Reasonably smart people will see this and go “this is garbage”. The idiots will go deeper, and become loyal gop voters.
They’re so fucking stupid and that’s exactly what they want to be.
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
