Go watch Mr Robot, it's great and does not do this
Been meaning to!
I am not a programmer by any means but I know enough to know they did their research.
Except Tyrell called it "nome" instead of "g'nome" and I'm pretty sure TOR exit nodes can only see unencrypted data and the entry node can only see who sent it.
..is gnome meant to be read as 'genome'? Never realised that was a possibility as a non-native English speaker. Always based it off the garden variety Gnome with a silent G.
This is like sequel or ess-que-ell all over!
If we're being pedantic, yes ๐
I've been using Gnome for 24 years and have only ever pronounced it like the thing you'd put on your lawn if you're an old person in Florida. But I guess that's what happens when you only ever read about a subject and never talk about it in person.
That's imgur for me. I've always pronounced it imm-gurr instead of imager.
My son and I got into a big argument about how that's pronounced. He said imm-gurr and I said imager. Since he's younger I assumed he was right, but it sounded so stupid I refused to yield. ๐
I'm Gur.
Grrrrrrr
@Anticorp
There are so many computer terms like that! Gnu, which is the closest parallel to Gnome. SUSE Linux. Gif. Lib.
Me, I apparently learned most of them incorrectly. But those (mis)pronunciations are ingrained and comfy now.

@HughJanus
I never actually had to pronounce it, but in my mind MySQL was "my squeal" for years and years. The first time I talked to another PHP programmer about it I said "my squeal", and he did a double take, then said "hold on, what did you just say?". Then we had a pretty good laugh about it after he corrected me.
all the hacking scene are amazing, I really hated all the angela screen time lol, I just wanted elliot
Also showcased how a darknet store looks like (or I guess used to)
