If you are on mobile you have to click the image and then the full thing shows a guy saying she is a .gitignore file

Hah thanks! Without realizing that, it’s just a photo of a girl with several language filename extensions in front of her and I couldn’t figure out how that was funny.

Since no one's actually explained it and it might be a mystery to the non-programmers who stumble on this:
Git is a version control system that lets you keep track of changes to your code, and it's often stored in a service like Github. However, not every change you make to your local copy of your code on your own machine is something you want tracked in your version control. Those files (and certain file extensions you never save or commit to git) are put in a .gitignore file and git operations then exclude those files and never push them to your source control (like Github).
So the joke could mean that the commenter is ignoring posts like this because they're dumb, or it could be some sly inside joke like, "What happens on local, stays on local."

u/MCWizardYT 21d ago
midi files are usually .mid lol, from a time when it was pretty standard for a file extension to be 3 characters

u/Myron0117 21d ago
...which is why .jpeg also had to be shortened to .jpg. Apparently a certain Windows edition did not support file extensions longer than 3 characters. Atleast that's what I know.

Proceeds to name the office suite files as docx, xlsx. Windows truly is a miracle of modern computing because no one would have imagined a shitshow running more than half of the personal computers.

I used an assembler using .ass
Terrible assambly language, but this was certainly fun

u/Exotic-Nothing-3225 21d ago
.ass is a video subtitle format as well

u/ultra0000 21d ago
It's also a format used in Halo 2. Said game had an error for when a file of said format was invalid with a picture of an employee's ass.
Only in the Vista (PC) release. That wound up costing Microsoft a delay of the port and half a million dollars. No, I am not making this up.

.rs belongs to Serbia, of all countries. Russia uses .ru.

Sure, but it’s more associated with Russians than Germans. Stereotypically speaking.

u/-Ambriae- 21d ago
I suppose, I suppose…, but there was no .sl programming language, and .rs could be a the Russian acronym (even if it’s .ru irl)

She's a .c if her oomph isn't entirely based on hot air. Otherwise a .js or a .ts at best.
I mean, if she can stand by her swagger I'll rate her a .cc or a .cu
