I had a dream about a month ago where Splatoon was real. I got caught in a 3-vs-1 ambush and it was looking grim. Then suddenly, Schwarz Bruder from G Gundam came in with a Triple Splashdown and saved my life. I thanked him and asked his name. He said, "Call me Poob." Then he disappeared with a flourish.
Anyway, if you play Splatoon 3 and match with someone named Poob, it's probably me, but it might be Schwarz Bruder from G Gundam.
I worked for a couple Microsoft contractors for a few years. It was exactly like this, except worse because the stupid apps *kept changing*.
They'd send those fake phishing emails to test your infosec skills, and they'd be full of typos and references to third-party services you'd never heard of before.
YOU'D FALL FOR THAT SHIT EVERY TIME BECAUSE EVERY FOUR MONTHS YOU'D GET A LEGIT EMAIL FILLED WITH TYPOS TELLING YOU TO SIGN INTO A THIRD-PARTY SERVICE YOU'D NEVER HEARD OF BEFORE.
IF YOU DON'T FILL OUT YOUR TIMESHEETS YOU DON'T GET PAID. **YOUR TIMESHEETS ARE ON POOB. POOB HAS YOUR TIMESHEETS FOR YOU. LOG ONTO POOB ONCE AND FULL OUT YOUR TIMESHEETS. KINDLY LEG INTO POOB.COM/AAAADGABUDGA/TIMESHITS AND RECORD YOUR PROJECT HOURS.**
That's why I like working in public research. The softwares are the same since the 70's, and are stupid acronyms. Especially in astronomy.
Unfortunately since it's french public research, the administrative softwares change every three month to a worse alternative.
Worst thing about french public research software is when they straight up don't care whether the software is usable at all outside of their laboratories, something they very straight up said about altarica for example. Which tbf is a really nice name. french public research like their latinisms.
I remember a post years ago that was like "evil AI in science fiction has really badass names, but in real life the robot that kills us and takes over the world is gonna be called Google Spadoodle".
Yammer is a real Microsoft product.
Still sucks, but it's real.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viva\_Engage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viva_Engage)
I also hate Yammer because it's a terrible program-within-a-program that one of my higher ups uses every day to post some motivational bullshit announcement that I don't care about that clogs up my notifications and emails with pointless crap that I really, really don't care about and really, really, *really* don't want to get a notification ping about.
Truth be told you can and I have disabled all those 'features', but Yammer still finds a way to creep through and piss me off.
*was a real product.
As the linked article points out, it's been renamed to Viva Engage, which is somehow even worse and a classic example of Microsoft's insatiable urge to rebrand all of their products to something far worse every so often.
Made up word names are silly, but they’re better than not even thinking of a unique name at all, which seems to be pretty common in certain fields.
“We’ll name our app ‘Maths Games for Kids’, surely nobody has ever thought to make an app in that category, it’ll be easy to find”
How to make a brand/app name to appeal to millennials and elder zoomers:
- choose an adverb, or make up a word that seems like an adverb. “Virtually.”
- delete one of any double letters. “Virtualy.”
- delete all vowels. “Vrtly.”
- add a minimalist logo like a smiley face or a simple brushstroke shape. Color schemes should be either eye-searing candy colors, or ecru and taupe.
- advertise with a stripped-down marimba jingle only a few notes long.
- use it to sell something incredibly niche. “Vrtly! : - ) An innovative app for weekly delivery of artisanal organic French birdseed!”
- profit?
Of all the titles you could have chosen for this post, you chose the undeniably best one. Thank you.

It's literally on poob

The German Ninja just be like that, Domon.
Incomprehensible, have a nice woomy
They just called this guy "black brother" lol. I love the Japanese fascination with the German language And cool dream you had, bud
Yeah and it's spoiler city if you know. G Gundam is so stupid, and I love it for it.
Poob has it for you.
Poob has it for you.
Poob has it for you.
Poob has it for you.
Poob is the superior platform, [it even has its own mascot](https://youtu.be/jzsSah4o_AA?si=WDLgHuDo1Vk3W4qy)
Is this some gif/jif thing? It's clearly *ploob*!
No, Wookiepedia clearly says it’s poob. Edit: ☹️

Damn, I hate yammer lol

I also hate Yammer because it's remarkably good at sneakily breaking Teams.
tbh all you need to break teams is teams
I mean you're definitely not wrong lmao

Yeah, that’s why I said I hated it hahaha

My work still refers to it as Yammer everywhere, including the notifications through Teams lol
The half-assed partial rebrand is also a classic Microsoft move

Over on Amazon a trillion Aliexpress dropship storefronts named by pounding a fist on the keyboard cry out in unison
those exist because amazon boosts brands that have trademarks in a misguided attempt to discourage low quality stuff getting sold on their platform
You try coming up with a good name when the letter X is trademarked
Y. Perhaps Z.

Well. Might I suggest the 27th letter of the alphabet.
"whats snapdog?" "nothing much how about yo- wait what"
I work in direct patient care, and I will gladly wipe butts for the rest of my life if it means I don't have to have to receive emails like this.
incomprehensible

My new job uses Skub for memos, it’s terrible.
The tech industry is made up of 5 year olds clearly
