"grandma, i literally only typed

pacman -S neovim-"Are you trying to play pacman?"

She was an absolute master at it.

It same when i was called by friend who worked at police HQ, updating linux with showing terminal at full screen because i want to know if udate successful or not while i reinstal windows at some computer in that room.
all police that station almost killed me because they tough i hacked police database just because they saw terminal with some progress bar installing linux update.Thanks, Hollywood!

As someone living in more rural demographic, replace grandma with every person with a cpu driven device. To quote my dad regarding his cellular trailcams "Wtf is updatefirmware? Stop making up words."
Reminds me of the Hollywood trope of a character saying “In English please” after any reference to something on a computer.
I hate it so much when they do it. The writers should just say it the way an IT admin would and move on. Pretending that the character is speaking another language is just anti intellectual bullshit.

I like typing arcane runes.

I bet one of her previous titles was literally "computer"

"grandma, i literally only typed

Yes but I'd say it started 10 years before that, growing in numbers through the first few years of the 1980s.
wrote last edited by [email protected]That could be, it was a rough period. I wasn't around for the beginning, and even the end is approximate as locked down mobile OSs and similarly user-opaque systems gradually came to dominate.
Kids today can still learn computers, but they have to explicitly try. I think something analogous happened with early cars. The first guys had to be able to personally maintain and repair the whole thing, and then over time it gradually became an area for experts and the odd enthusiast only.

thats one of the nicknames the school jocks came up with about me

pacman -S neovim-"Are you trying to play pacman?"
yes my favorite game is the arch package manager

The whole "old people are bad at tech" thing is a bit long in the tooth now. Many people who grew up with computers are now old, and many young people are just as baffled by the command line as any grandmother.
i didnt say any grandma, i said specifically mine, who follows that trope. idk how yours is but mine is like that

Give someone bash, and they'll shell for a day. Teach them fish and they'll shell for the rest of their lives.
