The only clients you should be using that phrase with are FTP ones.

I reminds me of a person who was in one day with a laptop with over 200 tabs open in chrome

I’m actually ok with that in relation to project delivery. Sorry.

No

I just read an article about how it’s a pejorative term and should be avoided…. When I say “read” I mean I skimmed it and went “fuck this shit” and closed the tab.

Just saw that. real super-specific "main character" vibes- which is itself another phrase we can do without

Also

Urban Dictionary: pipe line

A long stream of pipes going across a large area. Has an unnecessary amount of sexually related definitions to it on Urban Dictionary.

I did that for a luddite friend once. 50 open tabs, which was the maximum, 44 of them porn.

I’m now really interested as to what the remaining 6 were as opposed to going all in on the porn.

"Woke"
Just this morning I saw something about "Woke kitchens " and describing a person who said a profoundly stupid thing as "Woke".

It's a shit word anyway but it's lost all meaning

I think it's swung round to having *meaning again. Like woke 1.0 had meaning, 2.0 where it was co-opted by twittter slactivists and 3.0 where it was furniture and vitamins were the meaningless phase.

4.0 has meaning again kinda - in a sort of catch all social justice warrior kinda way - like wokes are now a demographic that A: the tory's don't give a fuck about B: don't give a fuck about the tories and never will or were going to C: because of A + B are reallly easy to manipulate.

So you get stuff like the Rishi Sunak this week - He rolls out and cancels hs2 which is a handy way for him to shore up his oil money and kudos for a few years - then he drops a sentence that was clearly dreamed up by a few giggling tory PR's as they were like 'what is going to drive the wokes up the fucking wall' on the trans topics - that sends the wokes wild (two of my TL's are still people giving out about that) - and now he's rolling along talking about weelllllll Hs2 needs to be privatised to be finished - so he's pulled some thatcher rail privatisation shit on a train that isn't even built, made great inroads for his oil baron friends and within two sentences mobiliised 'the wokes' to talk the spotlight off it.

So it's meaning has moved significantly since 1.0 - but it most certainly has meaning again

Those websites where you can stream films (non porn) for free.

He genuinely seemed to think that the interwebs are altruistic and totally safe.

I often get customers handing me their phones while asking 'why aren't my security cameras working on my phone'

And they have literally every single app on their phone open.
