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.

Dafuq is an e-note.
A pull-request to forked your reposotory obviously.
An e-note is a full step above a d-note and a half step below an f-note.

A little less formal than an e-mails.

reposotory
A reposotory is a suppository you can share with others when asked with an e-note.

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.

Why even bother explaining those terms if you only have that much screen space.

You'd probably spell words correctly though, right?
Given historical evidence of my writing that is not a sure thing.

It doesn't matter. None of faux news viewers can read.
I'm surprised they didn't sneak in a swipe about open source being a socialist conspiracy to undermine American ingenuity.
This physically hurts me.
And people say LLMs will degrade our collective knowledge lol
they both will
"forked" when you push broken code to prod at 5 on a Friday.
“CI” - “Come In” which is what your boss says when they ask for a meeting after you thought it was fine for that one line change to skip CI and it broke something
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.
It's valid usage if you go waaay back, i.e. centuries. You also see it in some late 19th/early 20th century newsprint and ads.
"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.

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.
Issue: Form of insult common to this community
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
Oh my gods I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out. It's so upsetting.

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.

Yeah this is about the comprehension level I'd expect from a typical Comm major lol.
At least they didn’t call it a suppository.
“GitHub just reached its 1 billionth suppository!!”

Woah. Things were different, at least 12 years ago.
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.
