I look forward to a glirchy vibe coded OS that uses embeded AI for everything, yet some people still manage to turn into a demented semi-functional ecosystem. Probably mostly run by seniors and computer illiterate consumers who just “want latest tech” for bragging rights.
Borked comes from Robert Bork, who was nominated to the US Supreme Court by Ronald Reagan. He was rejected by the Senate, with many of the opinion that he and Reagan made a mistake.
Bork also borked US agriculture as a federal judge. He’s literally the reason that there has been so much consolidation because of his ruling that corporate consolidation is, by default, magically both good for customers and somehow doesn’t violate anti-trust laws. To be clear, both are lies and he clearly knew that at the time of the ruling but, like all right-wing judges, loved money and imposing his right-wing values from the bench more than his constitutionally defined duties.

My mum doesn’t use Microsoft because she cares about bragging rights, she uses it because it comes with Microsoft Word and all of that OneCloud sync junk, and she expects it to work so that she can do her work on it. We tried Ubuntu with her for a while, and Microsoft Word and Excel were the main pain points
They’ll think that it’s totally normal for computers to get confused about whether it should open an app or start playing a documentary about how that app went to shit. And probably still not pay attention to the documentaries that constantly start to the point where ms just gives up on figuring out how to block them and instead just charges people for the views.

I love it when typos create new words that fit so well.
Any other good examples? Only one that immediately came to mind was “borken”, and even that usually gets used as “borked”

Therefore Borked means fucked up.

Huh, TIL - it just works so naturally as a typo that I assumed it started there.
That’s the way it started for many of the tech people that I’ve known (typo).

And every small and large organization who uses enterprise software that doesn’t work on any other OS.

This is functionally just the modern incarnation of Apple.
That OS already exists. Why do with AI vibe-coding what Microsoft already got paying shitty programmers to make a slapshod OS?
Microsoft was ahead of its time.
Looks like we aren’t too far off from that.
