Gerund fuck yourself, compute is a douchebag word used by douchebags. Lick my gerundle.

Ok so you apparently never took grammar so arguing with you is like playing chess with a pigeon. You’re just kinda strutting around the board, knocking over the pieces and shitting all over the place thinking you’re winning.

It did previously have words, but an adjective was shorthanded into a word and it’s stupid.

So it’s made up bullshit.

Measure it in energy use like we already did. It’s a dumb term techbros use to get investor dicks hard.

Commodified computer processing sounds fine. Measure it in kw/h or other unit of energy use. Like we already did before techbros started using it at investors.

Yeah, I opened the dialog with my personal feelings on the matter.

I tolerated the use of literally literally meaning figuratively but I draw the line at compute as a noun.

It’s also not in the dictionary so it’s still bullshit, obnoxious, and honestly just sounds stupid.

Over the internet? Cloud computing, like it always has, or just use the word computing, or processing power, or any of a dozen different phrases we already use for it. Every time someone uses the word compute as a noun a techbro jacks off onto their earnings report.

I do not like the recent use of the word “compute” as a noun, it’s such incredibly obnoxious boardroom bullshit speak. Compute is a verb. Otherwise great comment that explains the situation pretty well.

Are you being deliberately obtuse?
