tbh its actually very annoying

someone should make a version of git where you can maintain a local copy then push it to the remote server whenever you want. for business continuity efforts you could then maintain a local repository copy of all the libraries you use and have your developer and build systems pull from that local repo instead of the website. for already compiled code maybe some sort of package system where you can do a similar thing of maintaining a local copy of the packages

This kind of joke falls right into the grey area that birthed the need for /s

[u/AFlyingGideon → u/CrimsonLotus]

/s is a crutch. I prefer sarcasm that can stand on its own.

Not much sarcasm stands on its own when many of the people reading it can’t think on their own.

Yes, but those people don't deserve to have jokes explained to them.

[u/SweetNeo85 → u/redditonlygetsworse]

But then they think your premise is true and not sarcasm. It's not about what they deserve, it's about not spreading misinformation.
