I love cloud IDEs. I love being unable to setup anything to my liking. I love using the slowest most inefficient defaults they have for us. I love being unable to code without logging in into a website. I love never learning 90% of the technologies I will be using daily and all the problems that come with it.

I was gonna ask who shoplifted the pixels until I clicked on the picture.

“Buttons like that” is also just average graphic designer going “it’s a common household object I can draw from head.”

You can look at the “slur” part and see it used to be “sleep” and they removed the last three letters. In fact there is slight offset.

An enum and a logical “or” operator.

Nah that would ruin the original joke.

Cencored version in case anyone wants to share with a family member.

No need to thank me.

Brain operated electronics.

Eeg headbands detect brainwaves and are used in diagnosing mental illnesses. There is also expensive portable ones for yoga people that track your sleep cycle and give statistics.

You can VERY easily have it change the TV channel or move player in a VR game. In fact there is an old starwars toy where you lift some ball by powering a hairdryer with your brainwaves for like $40.

Distracted reader*

Nobody will actually mind if you brag about how you bought a new phone. Also if you are not a rich person you having an expensive phone means you did something smart to “cheat the system.”

As an example I had an old coworker when I used to work at a warehouse and he would combo things like service provider sales to buy an iphone.

He did sound smart when explaining the roundabout way he got the phone despite making same money as us. And I don’t mind what other people chose to spend money on.

What I do mind is college students thinking macbooks are some “programmers’ laptops.”

I had to constantly hand-hold group members that think they can get away with not learning how to code and using AI for all the homeworks because they bought a mac and that makes them a good programmer anyway.

“But I thought the program should automatically wait for the threads on this line since it’s POSIX.”

Yes I love troubleshooting professor’s makefile for an OS I don’t have because you never learned your own laptop has a symlink from gcc to clang.

Turns out it holds for adulthood.

The whole generation thing gets so much funnier when you think how other countries exist.

Imagine you experience a military coup at age of 10 and flee to North Iraq with your family where you live for a few years until your Asylum status gets processed and come to US.

Because of how weird whole process is however you still have to stay in a migrant detention center for anywhere between 2 days to several months depending on your age and gender as they check your papers and luggage.
(It looks like this btw.)

Then some highschool teacher calls you overgrown toddler because “your generation is too sissy to drink from a hose.”

Yes I really liked the “microsoft excel and spreadsheets” class everyone had to take for 1-2 whole years. The tools designed for us to learn basics within weeks and discover features naturally over time.

I mean imagine how many negative side effects on education there would be if we just spent one or two weeks learning KStars or Geogebra or Kalzium.

Don’t worry tho cause with microsoft backing openai I am sure every student will be given a set of chatgpt premium accounts to “help” them in their learning. Universities are already doing it en masse.

You lose some you lose some.

Terraforming.

The formerly-water deserts can be terraformed by just digging holes at specific angles so the shadow protects plants from drying up.

It’s sci-fi not like a “future robot” thing but more of a “hey we know the math we can do this reliably well” type of thing.

Also those expensive EEG headbands that track your brain during sleep and give you stats can be modified to change TV channel at specific brainwave values.

For happy/energetic sounding but sad anime-style touhou songs there is also Stack, Stack, and Stack

Sad lyrics and fast tempo :
Kazim Koyuncu - Narino
Bagpipe song with the lyrics “I lost my sanity”, “I sat down and cried”, and “I wish someone knew my pain” especially. Can find longer versions on youtube.

French Gal - Poupèe de cire
Lyrics are about feeling more like a doll than human. TRIGGER WARNING FOR FRENCH LANGUAGE

Kazim Koyuncu - Fadime
Kemençe song with lyrics along same lines. Takes a bit before beat changes.

Sad lyrics and happy music/tone :
Danny Gonzales - Downhill
Song argues with a young adult on how rest of their life will suck.

Istanbul12 Orkestrasi - Bile Bile
Song about being unable to accept rejection.

Ayase/YAOSABI - Into the night
I am 70% sure “upbeat sounding song about suicide” is a genre in Japanese music.

Well it’s not like you can use drop “the bomb that was meant to be invented 700 years later” to a military base or two to scare your enemies.

You still pay the shipping fees.

Yeah it’s just realistic to think if you refuse to modify your pc microsoft will just set default to whatever makes them money over what’s convenient for you.

That’s the problem. Whole point of windows is “you don’t have to modify stuff in roundabout ways like linux.”
