        OG experts

        And all the poor bastards with that wireless Apple mouse that charges via USB on the goddamn bottom of the device so it can’t be used while it’s plugged in. 🤦‍♂️

      Fool—the scroll wheel is a scalpel; the scrollbar is a broadsword. Use the right tool for the job.

      I’ve seen someone briefly turn on caps lock to type a single capital letter, I wanted to scream

        Former “IT” coworker would do that too. He apparently didn’t know how to type characters on tge number row, you know like & for example.

        I called him out on him using caps lock instead of shift and he asked “what do yoy do, hold shift?” with a tone that implied I was the crazy one.

          I switched from Mac to PC a couple years ago, and learning to use the Windows key for those slightly-obscure special character shortcuts (e.g. em-dash, accents) took some angry rewiring of muscle memory.

        When I first started to learn touch typing I used some popular documents. It recommended to do that, especially for people with smaller hands. I eventually moved on from it, but I only use left shift since I can’t reach right shift in any sane manner without moving my whole hand.
