MODERATORS
It's also not in the dictionary so it's still bullshit, obnoxious, and honestly just sounds stupid.
It’s absolutely in the dictionary, it’s perfectly plain and inoffensive, and it sounds perfectly descriptive of what it is.
I tolerated the use of literally literally meaning figuratively but I draw the line at compute as a noun.
Sounds like a personal problem
Yeah, I opened the dialog with my personal feelings on the matter.
I would love to hear a better noun representing comodified computer processing as differentiated from storage, or network bandwidth/throughput.
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.
