I love that "This is a hands on position" that requires deep expertise.
It will also teach you to be "curious" and "build trust".

One of our lead developers used it at the height of cloud hype. You could always tell which pages of our internal wiki he had edited recently. Amusing at first, but I got tired of it much faster than he did.
You just need a butt-to-cloud extension to counter that.
That idea is cute as a cloudon.

Can't get past the paywall but am I the only one who is a bit alarmed that a fact checker employs such a plugin via a work machine? If you need to alter words in text of news you read in order to find it palatable you aren't really a person living on reality's terms.
I am more concerned about the security implications. No work environment should be allowing use of non-business critical extensions which tamper with web content. (PS. If you work anywhere that allows arbitrary Chrome extensions, I hope your cyber incident insurance is up to date!) Browser extensions have incredibly privileged access to your post-decryption web content, and if you can install cloud-to-butt, you shoul…
On my managed Chromebook, I can install Chrome Extensions, but all but approved extensions work on intranet pages.

I just can't get over the idea that someone who (ostensibly) works as a professional writer or editor would have that plugin installed. Although the irony is not lost on me - a millennial, wanting to make fun of overwrought millennial tropes, ends up committing one.
On top of munificent’s point, professionaly reading all day makes more vulnerable to word fatigue or blindness. Having a plugin force you to pay attention would be a good trick. The same way people subscribe to purposefully boring or AI generated subreddits on reddit to have non sensical items in their feed.
Hey, that's a good point!
Also adds a bit of zest in an otherwise tedious humdrum, by adding a bit of giggle every now and then.

#116The New York Times has run into similar issues in the past: > Because of an editing error involving a satirical text-swapping web browser extension, an earlier version of this article misquoted a passage from an article by the Times reporter Jim Tankersley. The sentence referred to America’s narrowing trade deficit during “the Great Recession,” not during “the Time of Shedding and Cold Rocks.” (Pro tip: Disable your…
Oh, it doesn’t surprise me at all. I once worked well into the night trying to debug a web site for a client, only to find the issue was he’d installed NoScript “to try it out”.

My significant concern would remain in this configuration that if anyone in your organization views or enters sensitive or personal information into non-intranet pages, that that information would still be subject to easy compromise.
What about internal services or tools hosted by cloud providers?
Bear in mind, a malicious cloud-to-butt Chrome extension could even replace the download URLs on trusted websites to download content from malicious sites when you click them.

I installed a Cloud to Butt extension and sadly now I am unable to comprehend anything but buttocks. I look at the sky and there are buttocks everywhere. In the immediate moments after installation, I suddenly found myself floating in the void. Existence had no meaning because reality had no meaning. In this darkness, I found a kind of formless peace that was shattered soon enough by a stormbutt of extraordinary prop…
Weather forecast? Butty with a chance of meatballs! :O

#119I use "arse" rather than "butt" due to not being american. After extensive discussion at my last workplace we configured the word replacer browser plugin to replace "cloud" with "arse", enterprise with "garbage" and architect with "clown". It makes marketing and technical docs a much easier read.
I thought "arse" is the UK alternative to "ass", not "butt"?
Am from the UK; can confirm that arse = butt ≠ ass (aka donkey)
