Technology colloquialisms that trigger you

In reference to instant messaging

>ping

>app

... is just short for application. There's nothing wrong with that.

>gigs
>my computer has 8 gigs of ram

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

GNU/Linux

1. its retarded, it damages the brand
2. just because you retard wrote gre, rm, ls, bash,... does not give you the naming rights, compiler also does not

App

Stallman wrote the license that Linux called "the single most important decision" regarding his kernel.
Stallman wrote the compiler used to develop Linux since day 0.

I'll continue to call it GNU+Linux.

>not respecting what Turing has made

Fucking scrubs, not calling it Turing technology.

>gnome isn't the chassis
ok

You're free to call it that :)

I want that

and I will continue to hate your asperger ass that does not recognize how stupid that name is

license was important for growth, but nigger should all software with gpl license be gnu+?
same with compiler, android is compiled with GCC, should it and all other software compiled by it be called gnu+?

of course not...

Thankfully we have free speech and I can call it GNU+Linux all I want :)

Coding.

xorg is not gnu
so nope, nor is systemd, or hundreds of other things

someone said you cant?

It's just GNU.

app

put that on your CV, see how far it gets your aspie ass
oh right...
>anime posting loser who argues GNU
>looking for job
tell mom your tendies are late

There are thousands of gtk/bash stuff as well and the whole GNOME is GNU. Nice try

alt right
cuck shed
nigger

I am not following and what if gnome is gnu?
unity is not, nor is kde, xfce, cinnamon, lxde, lxqt, i3, ....

you want to argue that gnu linux name is acceptable because gnome exists as one of many DEs?

GNU+Linux is acceptable to whomever deems it acceptable, which is a growing majority. There is no point in arguing.

>prosumer

A lot of our clients refer to wireless access points as boosters. Not really triggered just kinda funny.

>reeeeeeeee i hate terms that are used by non computer savvy normies for no reason

When will you guys grow up?

lol

> alt right
How'd you call that then?

Linux wins because it's simply a better name. It's easier to say, remember, brand products with, and has a nice image associated with it.

Arguments about seniority or importance or technical accuracy are irrelevant so it doesn't matter if they're correct. Linux is still a better name.

young republicans

haha no. I never see it unless someone is trolling or literally autistic (like RMS himself)

>which is a growing majority
heh, good one

official wikipedia calls it
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU/Linux_naming_controversy

news media call it linux 99.9999% of time its mentioned

FSF is losing projects, and none of the big new players are joining gnu
stallman dies soon and theres no one in FSF with any respect in community...

gnu will fade out
and the best part is that theres rise of dislike against FSF and stallman that you would not see 5 years ago, people are

I've been saying GNU+Linux for years, even in spoken words.

>Google takes Linux kernel
>Adds their stuff on top of it
>Calls it Android
>That's Android!

>Google takes Linux kernel
>Adds their stuff on top of it
>Calls it Chrome OS
>That's Chrome OS!

>Samsung takes Linux kernel
>Adds their stuff on top of it
>Calls it Tizen
>That's Tizen!

>Mozilla takes Linux kernel
>Adds their stuff on top of it
>Calls it Firefox OS
>That's Firefox OS!

>Distro takes Linux kernel
>Adds thei GNU stuff on top of it - coreutils, compiler, etc
>Calls it GNU/Linux
>Lol, what an autist, that's not GNU/Linux, that's Linux, omg what a retard your are ruining the "brand"!

java

Because you're trolling. Or you have autism in which case I'm sorry for mocking the retarded

Autism does not unequivocally imply low intelligence or developmental disorder, colloquially also known as retardation, and it's GNU+Linux.

how does your mom look at you when you are talking to her about your GNU adventures?

She is supportive because I make a living working with GNU+Linux.

post your CV

freetard
>Real tards use windows.

And I'll continue to call "GNU" "shit," that doesn't mean I'm using the correct name.

...

Wi-Fi.
It's WLAN, but once again, something had to be renamed because English is screwy, arbitrary, anarchic drunkspeak.

...

>user experience

>IoT/Internet of things
just call it what it is, an NSA spying tool

>operation system

Android is compiled with Clang these days actually. Except for the kernel.

>IPC

This bothers me only when used as a verb.

These are fine
>programming
>writing code / software
>hacking (when used despairingly, e.g 'user, I want you to spend the next week hacking that feature in')

Coding pisses me off for some reason.

>coding
>coder (hate this so much)
i know someone who always says
>codes
instead of
>code

Like "I dont know those codes"
Pisses me off

How about Technology colloquialisms that I love

SCSI adapters being pronounced Scuzzy.

> named my dogs Scuzzy and Gooey.

>application
>browser
>shell
>batch
>executable
please, they're called apps

They are.

Oh my God, this. Specially when it's some angry nerd on IRC.

>MegaFlop
I get unresonably angry every time

This truly disgusts me. The term, not the stuff. As if there's some separate network/layer that arbitrarily includes everything that isn't specifically labelled a phone or computer.

It's like some garbage clickbait title someone made up once time that won't go away.

How did it become so widely used?

>torrenting
When they imply it's pirating

>pirating
When they imply it's copyright infringement.

gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Piracy

Referring to advertising and marketing companies like Google and facebook as "tech" companies.

>copyright infringement
When they mean swashbuckling, stealing, raping, and murdering on the high seas.

IoT fits in the same category as "Cloud" for me. A bit stupid, but harmless.
>Industry 4.0
This on the other hand is pure bullshit. Nobody even knows what it means. When I ask the answer is always "Something with networking"

>Industry 4.0

shit. that reminded me I still haven't read and listened to RMS talking about copyright, patents and trademarks. The topic's a bit more complex that just learning the difference between free as in freedom, not price.

I don't actually mind cloud as much. It is at least somewhat meaningful. It's a fairly simple metaphor.

Internet of things is particularly retarded because it implies that you would refer to any other subset as the whole, or as if internet is some "tier". Sort of like in the saying "the best thing since sliced bread". OH MAN THIS IS THE INTERNET OF THINGS. No it's a remote control object, or you know, a computer using the internet.

Anything x.x, or Vx though, without any actual parameters, is also utterly rididulous.

>4G instead of LTE

Also somewhat related: marketing fiber optic's best feature as bandwidth/throughput and not ping, when barely anything can even saturate it. I would rather use fiber that caps at 5 than copper that caps at 50

web 2.0

You just posted this in a thread with no responses why would you post it again?
