Y'all need to do some more looking into this Marak / faker.js / GitHub thing before feeding into his narrative. TL;DR?: Full on QAnon conspiracy theories, SJW dog whistles, domestic abuse, domestic terrorism risks, and a whole lot of self-victimizing.

Found some old notes from when I worked in advertising and we had to come up with slogans for a dishwasher. Mine: Washing up is for mugs. Terrible male colleague's: Computers for women.

Just to prove not all men etc - a guy at another agency had a similar brief for a Hoover brand dishwasher, and suggested "Hoover your plates" which I adore. (Brits call vacuuming 'hoovering' after the brand)

I have said this for the last 10 years, but the Internet isn't held together with duct tape; that's too strong. At best, it's held together with masking tape that has been in the sun too long.

So @AldiUK deleted their post using my words when challenged instead of getting me permission or offering me any kind of remuneration. Disappointed but not surprised, brands need to either come up with their own patter, or start paying the people that come up with it for them.

Quite literally the whole reason I have a job is because hosting, managing, updating, and securing the platforms we use to run our software is a tedious job that nearly everyone loathes, including sysadmins.

I’ve been a professional sysadmin for over a decade and I can say with great confidence that these people saying “running your own infrastructure is easy” are either idiots or liars.

Have any fellow language fans noticed an uptick in this kind of phrasing? IE "how ___ looks like" rather than "how ___ looks" or "what ___ looks like"? Just curious as to where it's come from.
