On the one had, I feel like there should be a special slur for people that turn off number lock so they can use the secondary functions on their keyboard’s number pad. On other other hand simply calling them perverts is accurate enough.

Annoying part of being in Japan is google’s autocomplete is now completely busted. Whenever i start searching for anything it tries to autocomplete with Japanese.

I’ve seen it said that generative A.I. allows a low performing employee to produce as much as an average performer. Based on these results by “average performer” they mean a guy that works on a project for 30 seconds, gets bored and finishes it as quickly as possible.
