No, sorry, I will not be using "compute" as a noun. "Computation" exists and isn't a techbro weasel word. I'm not judging you if you use it, nor am I saying that it's not good English. I'm not being prescriptive. I fully expect the noun "compute" to be Webster's word of the year next year and that's fine. I won't be using it. Sorry.

@intransitivelie@beige.party "Compute" really makes me uncomfortable how it's being used today. I'm a nearly 35 year IT person.
