this is informative and unfortunate

When a friend or a colleague does something utterly stupid and idiotic, and you have to hold them accountable, even if they're a friend.

It originates from a comment by Louis Rossmann on a video about the crappy communication style used by the then Graphene OS lead.

It's mainly used in the enthusiast tech sphere.

Linus: *incorrectly craps on and auctions a very expensive prototype that might bankrupt a small company*

Louis: This is informative and unfortunate.

Please be informed!

A short commanding expression spoken at the end of a speech that means: "Yeah, you heard what I said! That's the 411. If you didn't get it, too damn bad! I ain't gonna repeat myself and I ain't taking no questions!"

Ling Ling: "Blah blah blah blah....
blah blah blah blah....
such and such.....
so and so....
Please be informed!"

Lou Lou: "Can you repeat what you said before that such and such part?"

Ling Ling (thinking in her head): "Motherfucker, I gotta take a shit! I'm gettin' outta here. I ain't got time to answer this!"

SysAdmin: You're such an information hoare.

vaccine informed

The lame term created by the antivaxxer crowd because they can’t accept the fact that they’re wrong.

β€œI’m not an Antivaxxer, I’m Vaccine Informed”
β€œNo, Karen. You’re an idiot.”

β€œI’m Vaccine Informed, and know it’s bad to get vaccines. I read the insert!”
β€œOk, Karen, you don’t trust pharmaceutical companies, but will believe their material.”
