submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

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.

I saw somebody mention that you can use a mastodon remind me bot on lemmy just fine. But I don't remember what the name of the bot was.

Wow, that sounds great. Hopefully someone remembers the name soon.
