In this ITT thread: technology buzzwords
I'll start: "cloud"
>>53787718
I used to be with you, now I embrace that term, because I used to have to call it shit like remote computing or remote storage and people wouldn't understand. Now I just say cloud and they think they understand
>>53787728
You just defined "buzzword", just FYI.

An "algorithm". Everything is an algorithm. Microsoft's twitterbot? It's an "algorithm". Self driving cars? An "algorithm".

wait, who calls an operating system an app? or a compiler
I get the other things being called apps because they're sold to morons as end products, but never have I seen an OS called an app, and your common clay hasn't even heard of a compiler
if it's a shitty program with no customization, it's a "turn key solution"
if it's a shitty program that doesn't do jack unless you fuck around for five hours it's "arch linux"
>>53787718
You miss the point, the cloud is between the server and user, user is not concerned about how or where the server is, its the internet of things, its in the "cloud", a server or servers in the vast net.

Is it like what, Idiocracy type of shit murrica gone so far?
>>53789325
for fucks sake. ive heard the term in some podcast or a radio show before but i never bothered to check what it is. so basically an infograph or a chart showing statistics of some sort is now a 'nerd screen' ?
>>53789300
even this would be better
also i had something weird happen just now filling in the captcha. it asked for numbers and when i clicked them, they faded out and more numbers came in. i clicked until there were none left and clicked 'done', and the fucker asked for more. i had to do this 4 time before it let me post. is this a new thing or am i getting cucked by fake captchas or what
>>53789377
>>53789430
It has to do with their audience really, if you've heard that term congratulations, you're watching a show that is targeted at old white people.
When Chuck Todd took over Meet the Press he changed the names of the segments to something not too different from data download and their roundtable segment had some new name also. Week after they change it back to endgame and nerd-screen it was like they got a heavy ass whopping for changing things on that show because, old muh medicare white people

Liberals are racists that justify their racism by changing it's definition to exclude races they don't like. To say they're intellectually dishonest is to insult intellectually dishonest people. It's a disease of the mind, much like Alzheimer's.

try getting out from under your rock. I live in 100% white poor rural appalachia, there is poverty here like you don't see in western europe. this whole country is propped by subsidies and more subsidies its amazing anyone gets up and says "free market" anything. Most americans are totally ignorant about their own country, history and reasons why things are the way they are. coming from outside makes you ask things as to why they are the way they are and when the people who live there don't know because they're willfully ignorant you look for answers.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as GNU, is in fact, GNU/GNU, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus GNU. GNU is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “GNU”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a GNU, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
GNU is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. GNU is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with GNU added, or GNU/GNU. All the so-called “GNU” distributions are really distributions of GNU/GNU.
