alt text: A screenshot of a comment thread by two people. OP comment says “What’s the difference between git and GitHub” and the replying comment says “like the difference between porn and pornhub”
Github is blocked in Texas?
More like Github blocked Texas rather than complying with invasive state legislation.
I support PornHub in standing up to privacy invasion. Let us wank or flick in peace.
So these states that are imposing these measures and forcing porn sites like pornhub to pull out, are doing it “for the children”
But the only porn sites that comply are the ones who are trying to legitimize themselves to protect people. Like porn hub lost over 1/3 of their catalogue over the verification of the actors in their content. To remove revenge porn and other abuse.
That forces everyone to use the porn sites that do not care about exploitation nor the rules of these states. Pushing people tword crime like prohibition.
And still nothing stops children from binging porn
It has nothing to do with underage content. That’s against federal law. Do you have a source regarding PornHub’s lost content due to Texas legislation?
The Texas law requires users to provide state-issued identification to access adult content. That requires adult websites to verify and retain user identity. PornHub responded to this legislation by blocking access from Texas, rather than complying with privacy-invading legislation.
You misunderstand, the loss in content was a prior thing. It may have a different thing pushing that. My point being that porn hub is able to be accountable, or at least held accountable for their content. And they are pushed out of the market in these states, which leaves only the bad actors to make profit of the vacuum
Teenagers still have unfettered access to porn, they have just been restricted from better curated and less exploitive porn.
Gotcha. I was surprised to read that, since the Texas legislature was restricting access not content. It’s definitely already a federal crime.
Let’s be honest, that law restricted older Texans the most. Teenagers know how to use VPNs. Lol
I hadn’t thought about it this way. Even more reason to hate this stupid, hateful, legislation.

While porn may be open source, PornHub is not.
Much like Git and GitHub in that regard.

Not the exact same thing, github doesn’t contain git like ph does

Yup, have to contribute via patches in email. That was a fun experience.
i have an obligation to say this: i prefer fossil
I actually used Mercurial for many years until Git became ubiquitious.
I adore Fossil as well. Having simple tools like a wiki and tickets built into each repo is rad.
I love the idea of Fossil – tools like a wiki, issue tracker, automatic synchronization, all built in, plus the more resilient on-disk format, are features Git should’ve had from the get-go (no pun intended), and having everything, web server to CLI wrapped up in a single binary is an extremely cool way to do it.
I want to switch to it, I really do, but
git commit --amendis just not something that I am prepared to live without

I have a pull request wanna merge?
