You completely forgot:
"Actually just monetizes somethign that already existed for free"
Though I guess Ads is already the free space.

But it's new and better! Just ask our huge team of three programmers and thirty marketing geniuses.

I would add "people blame programmers and CS majors instead of rich dudes for some reason."

So if someone says Windows, everybody gets a Bingo somehow?

The "bug causes death" thing can be ticked for everything safety critical. Starts with the small electronics in an elevator.

Are they making elevators without mechanical fail-safes now?

I was looking for "buzzword soup website doesn't say what the product fucking does"

Maybe that wouldn't fit in a square

Happens often with GitHub projects as well. It's that or "it expands on the capabilities of BLARG by making it easier to use" - doesn't explain the changes

I was scrolling through job postings today and came across one that read like this. I was confused -> clicked the link -> saw a picture of two oil rig workers -> genuinely said "Ah, oil!" out loud -> and closed the web page.

They try to hide behind green washing and jargon. It happened to me at a university career fair a few months ago, too.

the only possible way this could be worse was if it was called CloudChain and also had weird blockchain/crypto nonsense.

Chat, is this real?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

Oh, that CloudBox...

It's so perfectly terrible 🥹

A game of Bingo requires several players to have different cards. That would be on another card. Other possible entries:

  • Uses recently popular buzzword tech for no reason.
  • Uses an always-on internet connection and multiple server farms to perform a function that ran locally on a Palm V PDA in 1997
  • Isn't legal in the EU

What apps only work for straight white guys?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Plenty of stuff that works much better for white guys that speak English and with the right accent, because that's who they are mostly trained on (image/speech recognition, spell check and translation, lots of medical stuff but that's not very tech). Not sure about straight.

Edit: oh the image said cis, not straight. That's easier.

Does truth social have an app?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago

Not an app, but the Kinect had trouble with people of certain shades
