Exploring Nos.social. Very cool. Clicked on the link to the code. I have no idea how to read code but it looks lovely. Slightly worried I might click on something and erase everything. I haven’t been on GitHub much.

don't worry about breaking anything on GitHub. it is read-only unless you're signed in and have permissions on a repo, and it is a few step process even then.
You have to be careful. You might end up seeing a typo and get pulled into the fray of opening a pull request to fix it.
Next thing you know you're developing nostr apps.
Waaaaait a minute. You can fix typos on there?!👀
🤣🫂 Nahh I’ll leave that to you guys, I’ll just snoop around the code. I like the purple looking code
I can’t believe it took me this long to realise what the name ‘GitHub’ meant in slang 🤣🤦🏽♀️
Wait what does GitHub mean in slang? 👀
In British slang
GitHub = fools hub or idiots hub 😂
It’s only funny cos it’s so far from the truth 🫂🙏🏽 whoever named it had a good sense of humour, or had no idea
Good sense of humor 😂
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git#Naming
Torvalds sarcastically quipped about the name _git_ (which means "unpleasant person" in British English slang): "I'm an egotistical bastard, and I name all my projects after myself. First 'Linux', now 'git'."[31][32] The man page describes Git as "the stupid content tracker".[33]
The read-me file of the source code elaborates further:[34]
> "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
>
> * Random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
> * Stupid. Contemptible and despicable. Simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
> * "Global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
> * "Goddamn idiotic truckload of sh\*t": when it breaks.
The source code for Git refers to the program as "the information manager from hell".
I mean.....there are a lot of gits on there.....Could be rebranded to House of Fools as well.
You won't have permissions to do anything bad there 😂
Oh good, cos I’ve been clicking on everything 😂🫂
