Fox News viewers would need the concept of "sharing" explained to them first.
Sharing is a type of communism, of course.
-
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?

This screenshot is old (at least 12 years).
It doesn't matter. None of faux news viewers can read.

*repository, jeniuses
Fact-checking is one thing, but they didn't even spell-check.
-
To be fair ChatGPT didn't exist 12 years ago.
Spell-check did though.

Don't tell them breathing is communism then

Why is the headline in quotes?

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.

We're all sharing the same communal air? Tragedy of the commons. Someone must privatise it immediately!
-
And people say LLMs will degrade our collective knowledge lol
they both will

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
don't think that was there when I commented. but yeah, google still existed.

That's why Elmu wants to go to Mars.

Dafuq is an e-note.
It's like intraoffice e-mail.

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?”

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.

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

"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.

Good news! It's a suppository.
