Every Update Breaks Someone’s Workflow

Text on the meme

LATEST: 10.17 UPDATE CHANGES IN VERSION 10.17: THE CPU NO LONGER OVERHEATS WHEN YOU HOLD DOWN 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.

What it means

A faux software update announces that the CPU no longer overheats when the spacebar is held down. A longtime user reveals that they deliberately use spacebar heating as a substitute for the hard-to-reach Control key in Emacs, mocking bizarre personal workflows and resistance to change.
