Felon mush-for-brains making a joke that hasn't been funny since the nineties.
I don't know if it was him... but it definitely was him. Not gonna google this.

Am still a teenager at heart

Cringe

A mental 14-year-old got his "humorist" dream fulfilled (the opposite of Microsoft)

It was once my sardonic nickname for Microsoft. It’d be Macrohard, Micro$oft, or the idea that Melinda came up the name after looking at Bill’s genitals.
But that was back when I still regularly used their products. Naming something after it is a total K-hole thing.
githman@reddit
Not just yours, actually. The joke was quite popular back when a home PC was still news and people were trying to process this idea.
On the same account I remember a bot in Unreal Tournament (or was it Quake 3?) named Bill Gates. Because Bill Gates was hot news.
scuttledclaw@reddit
the bits not very good, but you've got to respect the commitment.
MairusuPawa@reddit
Yeah. This nazi shithead: https://qz.com/elon-musk-macrohard-to-challenge-microsoft
Scoutron@reddit
Nazi lol
squeeby@reddit
Fuck Elon Musk. Fucking Elmo Nazi
Dont_tase_me_bruh694@reddit
Another insane leftist degrading the meaning and terrors of true nazism by calling anyone they disagree with a nazi. Blocked.
I'm guessing you're pro socialism and perhaps communism. I'll go ahead and call you a stalinist then. You must be pro firing squads for those that disagree with you and if a group of people won't join your regime, take away that regions food and force them into cannibalism. Also pro rape of those you conquer.
If you don't like this then go ahead and block me as well.

So I was wrong. A mental 8-year-old.
d1ll1gaf@reddit
Please, my 8 year old isn't that immature
Natjoe64@reddit
Didn't stevenhe call it big hard once?
amarao_san@reddit
No way! I made those jokes at 16, and even at 18!
kornerz@reddit
Which still works as an indirect advertisement for MS.
jferments@reddit
They misspelled MechaHitler.
InsensitiveClown@reddit
Yes, but can it run Doom?
kwyxz@reddit
Cringe as fuck. The richest man on Earth is an insufferable dumbass.
waitmarks@reddit
Is it still poisoning the air of the nearby community?
Wywern_Stahlberg@reddit
It always does. Just like every single car, plane and big ship.
COVID was good in that we shut down these things, and air improved instantly.
We shoud do it again. Permanently. Or we will not have a planet to live on.
me_myself_ai@reddit
There's a huge, huge difference here. Transportation is costly, but this isn't just a GHG problem, it's a pollution problem. The people living nearby are at serious risk of health complications.
waitmarks@reddit
I meant beyond the more energy usage == more CO2. They were, and might still be, running their datacenter off of emergency turbine generators which have no emissions regulations. So, the nearby town has been getting blanketed in nitrogen oxides causing all sorts of breathing problems. And it wasn’t even because there wasn’t enough power generation in the area, it was because they didn’t want to wait for the permits for the grid hookup.
flatline000@reddit
Yes, local papers are still writing stories about it. They're taking advantage of some loophole to use generators that pollute more than normally allowed by claiming they're temporary emergency power sources. Or something like that. In theory, they'll have to shut down the emergency generators by a specific deadline, but I don't remember the details.
me_myself_ai@reddit
Last I heard, the much bigger factor is that the state government is totally on board with it, and gave them blanket exceptions to environmental regulations. Usually those are reserved for absolutely essential infrastructure like Concentrated Animal Feed Operations ("CAFOs"), but being the First Buddy gets Elon pretty far in TN.
Fun fact: despite having a pretty purple populace, TN's state government is one of the most hardcore right-wing in the nation. They're the state that banned chemtrails, and once tried to start up their own mini-ICE to deport people to surrounding states.
headykruger@reddit
I think so. Running generators in the parking lot.
squeeby@reddit
We have PoE injectors by “MicroSemi”
gihutgishuiruv@reddit
Microsemi are far older than Microsoft
panbe@reddit
Microsemi was acquired by Microchip Technology in 2018
I00I-SqAR@reddit
Does Microsoftware run on Macrohardware?
Mariscadavegana@reddit
The opposite of Microsoft Office is Macrohard Onfire
Wywern_Stahlberg@reddit
Call me whatever you want, but I think this joke is kinda…good. I like it. Don’t get me wrong, Felon is infantile idiot who should be stripped of his possesions and put behind bars for life without the option to escape, his obssesion with the letter X is beyond offensive, but this is the one thing I kinda like. I get it. It is stupid, childish and just dumb. I’m with you on this one. But just this once, I like this stupidity.
KoolKat5000@reddit
You don't have to justify yourself, it's a good joke. I agree
thephotoman@reddit
You can ruin a good joke by shit delivery.
Which is what that muskrat did.
KoolKat5000@reddit
Nah that's an excellent name for a company, no reason a company or it's name need to be dull. We're all apes chilling on a floating rock after all.
thephotoman@reddit
Naming your company after a joke about someone else is a silly thing to do, and only a ketamine addict would actually do it.
KoolKat5000@reddit
Lol you folks are way too uptight. You'll do mental gymnastics to make sure anything is seen as wrong.
Dont_tase_me_bruh694@reddit
He does though. Any compliments of actions of a clear literal Hitler is grounds for execution on reddit.
MessyKerbal@reddit
Untrue, you may praise Hitlers as long as they’re part of the Democratic Party

while I love Supercomputers, I gotta know how much energy that thing sucks for training a grok
