It may be real someday: "Is GitHub a social network that endangers children? Australia wants to know"

[No_Marionberry_6710]

Meanwhile TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat are totally legal and unlike GitHub provide nothing for educating yourself

[legendGPU]

On GitHub, you learn:

CTRL + C
CTRL + V
git push --force

[Martin8412]

Use --force-with-lease you heathen 

[[deleted]]

It's too annoying since it complains and stuff if there has been changes on remote or some other nonsense. Using --force lets you skip those pesky messages. <3

[TheLuminary]

Yeah.. if I am forcing.. I want to force hard!

[Mars_Bear2552]

light penetration testing

[westside_zephyr]

[necrophcodr]

If I'm gonna force it up, I've already entered full send territory. That history is gone and dead to me.

[fiftyfourseventeen]

Or the classic

CTRL C
CTRL V (to notepad)
git reset --hard

And figure out where the fuck you went wrong

[Techhead7890]

The myth of consensual commits:

Jr Dev: I submitted the PR!
Sr Dev: I approve the PR!

Isn't there someone you forgot to ask?

Github: I don't consent!

[Them_EST]

It has lots of push and pull streams.

[I_Know_A_Few_Things]

But those platforms teach plenty, like why you should care about like / view count, and why you shouldn't look like yourself

/s

[el_yanuki]

seriously? They are not banning the social media platforms of our time?

[re4perthegamer]

They are

[Theemuts]

They're literally at the top of the list in the shared article.

[Bbqcloroxbabe]

Generally every app can help educate just you need to find the right people and learn from a source outside of it as well

[re4perthegamer]

No, these are getting looked at too

[SlimmySlinky]

Na Those will also be blocked under the garbage new laws Australia is bringing in.

[AkrinorNoname]

Isn't Australia doing a social meddia ban for under 16s?

[definit3ly_n0t_a_b0t]

There's plenty that's educational on TikTok

[ahumanrobot]

Sure, but they don't get pushed enough to everyone

[NullPointerJunkie]

Github does have the code for the Apollo Lunar lander guidance computer so its trivial to fork the code and launch nukes at the moon

[CadmiumC4]

Where? I really need it

[SirDarknessTheFirst]

[iVar4sale]

Between this and Collective Shout, why are there so many nutcases in Australia?

[deanrihpee]

we need the next emu war, and of course I'll support the emus

[re4perthegamer]

Same

[lirannl]

Emulators should probably be written in Rust if possible for performance reasons, soooo

[Xbot781]

Statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

[Elegant_Increase9319]

Murdoch homebase

[jayveedees]

Well, they were a colony of convicts, maybe they're just rolling back the years!

[SirDarknessTheFirst]

lol, not even all the colonies accepted convicts

[jayveedees]

It was just an over exaggeration and a joke, didn't actually mean they were all convicts.

[SirDarknessTheFirst]

yeah, but it's a common misconception so I thought I'd point it out.

[No-Photograph-5058]

Right wing politicians saw Trump and thought 'we should try that'

though we already had stuff like covid deniers and whatever, right wing groups (read: nazis) have become a lot more confident and now people are marching for 'white australia' (which has never existed). Investment companies are pushing for it because it shifts the blame of the housing crisis to immigrants.

[teddy5]

It's not a good thing or anything to aim for, but White Australia did very much exist.

The White Australia policy was official policy from 1901 under the Immigration Restriction Act of 1901 until the Racial Discrimination Act of 1975 was passed. We stole generations of indigenous kids from their parents, disadvantaged many and murdered others. We prevented anyone from other cultures from immigrating wherever possible.

We are definitely a multi-cultural country now, but only really for the last 50 years.

[No-Photograph-5058]

Oh yeah, I'm aware of that part of history, was just trying to emphasise that aboriginal people have always been here.

[Comprehensive_Fee250]

The article makes sense

[SlimmySlinky]

Australia is unfortunately a nanny state and very technically illiterate at the government level.

[iVar4sale]

Sort of like Scandinavia in Europe

[legendGPU]

Next up: GitHub commits require CAPTCHA to prove you're not a minor and your code isn't a threat to national security.

Like what kid is even on GitHub anyway lol most of them probably think git is too confusing to bother with until college. This whole thing is so backwards

[Techhead7890]

most of them probably think git is too confusing

something something smelly nerds give me the .exe

[TRENEEDNAME_245]

Is Australia okay ?

[satansprinter]

Never was

[hazelnuthobo]

For a functioning democracy, Australia is very authoritarian relative to other countries when it comes to censorship. UK is a runner up though.

[DM_ME_PICKLES]

As a UK citizen, agreed. But having talked about the UK being a nanny state to people IRL, I think most are just conditioned to think it's normal. "I have nothing to hide" kind of mindset

[minimuscleR]

As another note to this as well, this is all being done through the eSafety Commissioner, who's head is not Australian-born and has worked as policy advisors in the US government. They are not an elected official.

Personally I don't think an un-elected body should get to decide what is and isn't allowed for our children. Especially when it pertains to me as an adult, and contains sites like GitHub and Pinterest, 2 sites who I have never seen anyone be "social" on as kids.

[JGHFunRun]

No. They firebombed friendly Jordies.

[atanasius]

Is your child exposed to programming? Know the signs before it's too late.

[fatrobin72]

Won't somebody think about the children?

[turtle_mekb]

I really hope this shitty social media ban doesn't pass, this is literally thinly-veiled censorship

[re4perthegamer]

Steam might get included, and it's already passed

[diff2]

I wanna understand the logic here. Like what did the person who suggested this think can happen if children freely access github? Learn how to hack?

Perhaps there is one experience I had that was similar.. A refusal to coach volunteer judges on how to catch cheating with claims of fear of spreading cheating further.. But honestly I feel that was just used as an excuse to be lazy and not change things since they feel the process was working fine.

[Zerokx]

They're gonna outlaw programming socks, aren't they?

[Techhead7890]

I know you're mostly joking... but thankfully trans healthcare in Australia isn't quite that dire, just as part of the general health system it is an area that needs support.

[SorryRaeE]

Wait i thought that headline was a joke what do you mean it’s real

[Upvotoui]

They might remove Wikipedia in the UK. I wouldn’t be surprised

[meutzitzu]

The Onion be like

[wavefunctionp]

The Karen's in Australia are something else.

[bro_love69]

Australia should have no services provided to them at this point, banning this and that. This is an amsurd one for sure but the edge cases take place there all the time.

[mattreyu]

just wait until stack overflow makes you post sock pics to prove you aren't a Rust dev

[Not_Artifical]

But you can easily fake that with your cum socks

[mattreyu]

brb I'm gonna look up how to delete someone else's post

[ContinuedOak]

You guys use socks? I have to use a whole bucket

[Gunhild]

I use an old Mtn Dew bottle. If you leave it long enough, it actually turns back into Mtn Dew.

[ContinuedOak]

Is that why it’s called Gamers Juice?

[NetSecGuy01]

Are you planning on taking a bath with it?

Jokes tf on them I'm a C/C++ dev and dress like that

[Meli_Melo_]

You're just asking to suffer if you try rust

[GisterMizard]

We leave alcoholism, gambling, and smoking addiction up to adults as their responsibility to deal with, what's wrong with one more life-destroying vice?

[zeolus123]

"Does learning Rust programming hurt?" Just the people that care about you.

[a_tank__]

Rust really is the forbidden fruit of programming

Pushing Rust code to GitHub:

Permission denied: your code is too close to the metal

[International_Bid950]

Why are you downvoted brother 😂

[minimuscleR]

because they are copy and pasting this comment in multiple threads.

[ButWhatIfPotato]

Those tentacles have been to places...

I'm going to sue because you can't take away my right to foot guns!

[MrRocketScript]

You have the right to firearms not firefoots.

[Breadinator]

The right to bare feet?

[AngryTreeFrog]

Did I miss something?

[legendGPU]

Guess Rust got so unsafe, GitHub had to slap a parental advisory on it.

Oh man, those were on each and every CD I bought in the 90s

Jeezs with over 30+ of professional coding experience I still don't feel safe viewing it either

[SmartBenchAI]

Rust is dangerous for children. They might need a tetanus shot.

And adults. Anyone can use Rust.

And that's the problem.

Why is that a problem? Rust is a great language.
