Philips Hue will soon force users to create a Hue account and sign in to continue to use the app and control the smart lights. The best security model to protect smart devices is to keep them disconnected from the internet, or at least keep this option available.

Except it means nothing in that usage. Some people ran with it. Others decided to not be ridiculous and just apply it without rhyme or reason. Outside the Fediverse, it’s nearly unknown. Inside the fediverse, when it’s misused, it’s usually in a very obvious and uncritical manner. It is still commonly used properly.
Don’t take the power away from words just because you literally like the word itself. It’s immature.
If you use it to apply to all unpopular corporate decisions, it’s no longer powerful and doesn’t have any meaning.
This isn’t a new thing, my brother. Half the words you use on a given day probably had a different meaning when they came about. If anyone is being immature here, it’s you guys who seem to think English should be static and never updated. And for what it’s worth, I think it’s used pretty accurately when I see it get used, and I think the way it was used in this thread is apt.
Again, that’s how language has worked for literally centuries, but I completely disagree with your conclusion. If you’re not yet aware, some words, can have multiple meanings even with the same spelling.
Except due to the new usage one now has to basically define it to give it the correct context. It’s lost its power to be used and immediately understood. If what you say is true, it cannot be used efficiently to why it was coined.
And pretending it’s not suddenly being used because of Doctorow is naive.
Your ability to determine how another is feeling via words is lacking. I’m not fuming. I’m not even that angry. I just am having a discussion and you’re responding like you’re not even out of high school. Its just frustrating communication.

So now we don’t have a word anymore to describe something that we used to have a word. And we already had words to describe what the person above was.
The language has lost use.

Hey man. Get some air.
Grow up.
My guy, you’re fuming over a word. This isn’t a healthy way to be.
