I wouldn't say "unhinged" either, but maybe just struggling to organize and express thoughts clearly in writing. "Organizations of late capitalism, unite"?

The author was frustrated that the error message identified him as an organisation (that was disabled) and mockingly refers to himself as the (disabled) organisation in the post.

At least, that’s my reading but it appears it confuses about half of the commenters here.

I think if one's readers need an "ironic euphemism decoder glossary" just to understand the message, it could use a little re-writing.

It was perfectly understandable to me. Maybe cultural differences? You seem to be American, OP Portuguese, and myself European as well.

the former i have heard for a couple decades, the latter is apparently a term of art to prevent hurt feelings or lawsuits or something.

Google thinks i want ADA style organizations, but it's AI caught on that i might not mean organizations for disabled people

btw "ADA" means Americans with Disabilities Act. AI means Artificial Intelligence. A decade is 10 years long. "term of art" is a term of art for describing stuff like jargon or lingo of a trade, skill, profession.

Jargon is specialized, technical language used in a field or area of study. Lingo pins to jargon, but is less technical.

Google is a company that started out crawling the web and making a web search site that they called a search engine. They are now called Alphabet Company (ABC). Crawling means to iteratively parse the characters sent by a webserver and follow links therein, keeping a copy of the text from each such html. HTML is hypertext markup language, hypertext is like text, but more so.

Language is how we communicate.

I can go on?

p.s. if you want a better word, your complaint is about the framing. you didn't gel with the framing of the article. My friend, who holds a doctorate, defended a thesis about how virtually every platform argument is really a framing issue. platform as in, well, anything you care to defend. mac vs linux, wifi vs ethernet, podcasts vs music, guns vs no guns, red vs blue. If you can reduce the frame of the context to something both parties can agree to, you can actually hold a real, intellectual debate, and get at real issues.
