Watching my dad right-click, and select "Copy" from the popup menu...
I don't watch my dad use the computer anymore as I feel the same as the one in the comic.
That time I saw him log in to his yahoo email (tldr; my dad uses google to go to yahoo)
Or that one time I asked him to login to to gmail account while he was browsing his yahoo email. (tldr; my dad does not believe in tabs)
Oh... Oh No. Closing the entire browser to open a new tab. I don't blame you at all for not being able to watch.
This was painful to read. :|
I read the TL;DRs knowing what was going to happen only to continue reading and feel physical pain. What’s wrong with me…
There was a recurring gag on Parks And Rec about Pawnee internet users needing Altavista so they could use it to navigate to Google. That joke felt very real.
When you check your email, you go to AltaVista and type "please go to yahoo.com"?
At least he right-clicked instead of going for the menu at the top!
My Dad has had a post-it note above his computer for years, "Crl-C Copy, Crl-V Paste"
Its so rough watching non vimmers use vim
a pro vim user watching a vim noob using arrow keys.
/:wqa! and then reopening the editor instead of just using :wx repeatedlyi and then the right arrow key until they're at the end of a lineSTOP! You're scaring the children!
Deleting an entire line by hitting x repeatedly
The first time I ever touched Double Ds was in vim.
It's all fun and games until someone does ddO instead of using S ;(
Those last two made me physically recoil wtf
I've heard some people even use :wq over :x
….I’ve been using :wq for years…
What? No "Esc. Shift+ZZ" ?
This is the way
That sounds like emacs-user talk. We don't take kindly to you folks around these parts...
Are you kidding? I remove nano on purpose so I can sit there and watch them struggle!
Brilliant! I'm putting this in a script and running it on every single server I have SSH access to.
Him being naked is completely unnecessary but enhances everything.
It's completely necessary.
How else does one click hotkeys while standing?
Uses vim with arrow keys
Come on. Dude. Give credit where credit is due. SMH...
It's not SMH, it's SMBC
SMH = Shaking My Head
It's an Internet initialism.
I know. Just foolin' :)
Oh. Sorry about that. Text is not a good medium for tone. xD
True that! Lol
The millennials are in the absolute worst position tech literacy wise. They had the boomers on one end and the zoomers on the other.
Makes me glad I'm a millennial and had to deal with the times when technology wasn't so "nice" to you. When Windows would let you delete system32 with less hoops, random websites could drive-by malware into your machine, and you could tangibly customize your OS to look completely different.
Late 90s/early 00s computing really gave opportunities to get good at understanding what your computer did, scrutinize when downloading random programs, and made you think about what you were clicking on a little bit if you didn't want to get a virus.
My niece struggled with using a mouse when she was in middle school -- her experience with UI was exclusively touch screens prior to that.
The verge had an interesting article on this phenomenon
I'll add "it's not their fault". In the race to make technology intuitive and idiot proof we've removed the need to actually learn how technology works past a superficial level.
Very interesting! It’s something I just cannot fathom as a 20-something year old. Granted, I’m a software engineer, but I’m very much like the professors in the article. It’s just so intuitive to me.
thats literally my job (web development teacher)
You poor soul.
clicks scrollbar with mouse and drags it, instead of using the scroll wheel
right click -> copy; right click -> paste
Comic good. Post title bad.
I am the old man in this comic and I'm not happy about it.
it's «la torture» tho …
Torture is a woman, of course!
We found out that one of our co workers created tables of formulas in excel, then input a table in Word to manually type in and transfer over the table data. And of course the same formulas needed to be run through a desk calculator once more in case excel got that wrong the first time. Jaw dropping (when that person was shown about this magical copy/ paste feature, it was their jaw that dropped lol)
eye twitches
This guy use windev
He's copy and pasting uaing the right click menu
