Ersei, the developer behind this so-called Cloud Native Computer, says the project was primarily a “silly” pursuit. There is also a problem with booting from Google Drive currently being very slow. However, the dev also boasts that “the possibilities are endless” and would welcome any companies or individuals who wish to get in contact and discuss commercializing this project or something related to it.

Sometimes deliberate misinterpretation can be used as a linguistic device (Wang, 2008). Perhaps you consider that trolling or derailing, but regardless of whether or not you appreciate the joke, to continue in the thread does not contribute to a productive discussion.

One study found that troll-like responses “deviate from expectations” and “easily capture unsuspecting users’ attention and manage to prolong futile conversations interminably” (Paakki, 2021). Perhaps it is your comments that deviate from community expectations and are prolonging futile conversations? Does it count as trolling if it’s not intentional? Appendix 1 shares the author’s criteria, so I suppose you can try applying them yourself.

Personally, I’m finding this interaction positively fascinating. I’m a little disappointed I couldn’t easily find a more relevant analysis on linguistic humor, but that article by Henna Paakki actually looks really interesting. I highly recommend reading it, I’m only halfway through the introduction and I’m already hooked. For me, it’s absolutely been productive. I’m going to print that paper out and make it some night reading. Thanks!

I specified in my original comment about a full secondary computer being a requirement already. So no, your joke is moronic considered the established context of the conversation. Using the coud doesn’t require a full secondary computer. Did you miss this key detail in my original comment or something……?

Jokes can be appreciated in conversation, but not when they miss the original context…. I was clear in my original comment, so yeah fuck off with this “joke” bullshit, I was trying to have a conversation. All you are doing is being a troll here, especially when the joke just actually doesn’t fucking work…

How is it a joke when you clearly misunderstood my original comment?
