- wasteduniverse 3y agoWhat does the "They(TM)" mean?
- hyperhopper 3y agoAn out group of people to be blamed. In this case, the lame corporate kind of people.
- wongarsu 3y agothey™, as in "the people behind it all", "the cabal", "the man in black", "the nameless people in suits", etc, as opposed to the regular use of "they". Here probably boring business people
- amiga386 3y agoIt's my perspective, as lamenting the loss of easter eggs and other fun quirks is easier to phrase as some kind of fun police cracking down on individuality in software, to further a scheme to trap everyone in an anodyne corporate hellhole. But in truth, the author who put the "gimme gimme gimme" easter egg in place was also the person who removed it. There is no "they" responsible (also, TINC)
- whartung 3y agoThey. Them. Not just they, but capital They. Everyone knows who They(tm) are, especially Them.
