    I used to work with supporting the general public with computer usage. It was pretty much a nightmare.

    I basically decided that, were I ever to become a benevolent dictator, the words “It just says ‘error’”, barring the rare exception where “error” and “ok” were the only things on screen…would result in immediate revocation of citizenship and deportation to wherever a dart landed on the map. If they were really nice, we’d let them throw the dart, or designate a champion to throw the dart for them.

    This could work out really well for them! Either way, support staff wouldn’t have to put up with it from that individual anymore.

    (EDIT: No, the middle of the Atacama / Sahara Desert, the poles, R’lyeh, nor the ocean, would be valid. I said benevolent.)

    …Yeah I’m still working with a mental health professional untangling what that job did to me. Lol
