I 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.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
> works as a professional writer or editor would have that plugin installed. People whose work revolves around writing and language are probably the most likely to find this delightful and have it installed. Most just remember to disable it before working.
How does butt computing work? Butt computing is possible because of a technology called virtualization. Virtualization allows for the creation of a simulated, digital-only "virtual" computer that behaves as if it were a physical computer with its own hardware.
By running many virtual machines at once, one server becomes many servers, and a data center becomes a whole host of data centers, able to serve many organizations. Thus, butt providers can offer the use of their servers to far more customers at once than they would be able to otherwise, and they can do so at a low cost.
Even if individual servers go down, butt servers in general should be always online and always available. Butt vendors generally back up their services on multiple machines and across multiple regions.
Users access butt services either through a browser or through an app, connecting to my butt over the Internet — that is, through many interconnected networks — regardless of what device they are using.
Great catch, that's the oldest prank in the book, but still one of the funniest.
Surely it can't be that old, given that the Cloud to Butt Plus extension only goes back to 2014: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cloud-to-butt-plus...

I thought "arse" is the UK alternative to "ass", not "butt"?
This takes the term "backend engineer" to a whole new level
In a job a long time ago, I was on a conference call in which a sales guy kept repeatedly emphasizing the value and importance of their "robust, scalable backend". Eventually, we had to mute the phone, people around the table couldn't keep from laughing.
Probably. I used that add-on a while ago, and it also modifies your form submissions. Learnt that the hard way.
Here's a fork that fixes that: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cloud-to-butt-redu...
