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

Energy use is the not the thing being sold, and never was.

It’s an engineering term that engineers use to easily and efficiently describe the thing being built and sold.

So it's made up bullshit.

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

All words are made up.

It’s an accurate and useful word for describing something that previously did not have a word. Pretty simple stuff.

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

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, it didn’t, that’s why compute is used now. Compute is a mass noun and it’s a perfectly reasonable and accurate word.

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.

You’re projecting. In this conversation you have so far:

  • Tried to unitize a gerund without adding a measure word
  • Mistaken phrases for words
  • Confused adjectives and nouns
  • Ignored the validity of mass nouns as a whole

I don’t think you have even a conceptual understand of Grammar, and I suspect you only know English as a second language

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