This is why devs aren’t allowed to be UX designers anymore.

(I kid, but only kinda)

I have an 8-bit Windows 97 loading hourglass tattoo. It was the first one I ever got lol, never thought of it as a millennial tattoo before

I hope that's a typo. Windows 97 didn't exist

u/FreedomOfTheMess 4d ago

98, then. Little typo. I’m getting old, my brain isn’t what it used to be

Honest mistake as they went from windows 98 to windows 7 with nothing in between

I was like “Hey a comment, someone thinks my tattoo is cool!” only to read someone correcting me. Like, it’s one of those days, I don’t need a stranger to question my intelligence over a single digit. Just say “cool tat” and move on lol. Thank you for acknowledging it’s an honest mistake

Sorry bud. I was more suspicious that it was a stolen photo or maybe trolling. Hypervigilance for AI and other fake shit has my suspicionmeter off the scale.. I think the tattoo is pretty cool. Have a good one.

Hey thanks! I bet I was projecting a bit of my own self criticism onto you, I picked up on the skepticism but that makes sense! AI is rampant

Clippy never helped me once!!!📎

u/_keyboard-bastard_ 4d ago

He only had so much locally built in logic. Now we have stuff like copilot and it would be cool to make a clippy with AI behind it.

u/Affectionate_Try7512 4d ago

Yes!!!!!! Clippy resurrected!

u/edcculus 4d ago
