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.

        As personal, individual user, who gives a shit? I’ll just wait until a large enough gap between my version and the current version is there to warrent getting a more updated cracked version

        I used an outdated version of photoshop for years.

        If you NEED regular maintenance builds, it’s probably for enterprise, in which case you open yourself up to a whole lot of legal bullshit by making money using pirated software in the first place.
