Title text: There are probably children out there holding down spacebar to stay warm in the winter! YOUR UPDATE MURDERS CHILDREN.


Transcript

[Changelog for version 10.17 of a piece of software.]

One change listed: “The CPU no longer overheats when you hold down the spacebar”
Comments: LongtimeUser4 writes: This update broke my workflow! My control key is hard to reach, so I hold spacebar instead, and I configured Emacs to interpret a rapid temperature rise as “control”.
Admin writes: That’s horrifying.
LongtimeUser4 writes: Look, my setup works for me. Just add an option to reenable spacebar heating.

Every change breaks someone’s workflow.

      Not in my experience. The three most dangerous things in the world are:

      • A programmer with a soldering iron.
      • An HVAC tech with a software patch.
      • A user with an idea.

        Haha as a programmer who has worked on a handful of soldering projects this is so true.

        I should put down the soldering iron I guess

        would make my electronics projects less horrible

        “So I’ve been thinking…”

        “Well that’s dangerous!”

          No. Usually not really

          This is why most open source projects are ugly

      I recently had a user claim the upgrade from office 2019 to 365 broke her laptop screen.

        That, truly, is indictive of every user complaint ever, therefore no complaint has merit.
