The bathtub curve, but for tech literacy

A graph meme. The two axes are labeled "How much you know about technology" and "Likelihood everything in your house is broken". The line forms a U-shape. The left side reads "I deleted the Edge icon how do I internet?". The right side reads "The fan on my raspberry Pi broke causing it to overheat and turn off breaking pihole and our home internet while my wife was working and now I have to sleep on the couch"

btw #fediblock social.vlhl.dev - is an instance by and for the vilest of tankies

A black labrador's head with a long snoot is held by a woman like an SLR camera. The photo has been edited to include the word Canon on its head and a round red circle on its nose makes it appear very similar to a camera.

Wait what, you can't use a *code* editor when you're under 18 now? 🤔

ToS changes of Zed, including the new 18+ requirement.

Oh so when an undeveloped group of nerve cells is formed just to play Doom it's a scientific bteakthrough but I've been living that life for 27 years and nobody cares.

This is the funniest Steam Deck accessory I’ve ever seen!

Don’t get me wrong. I understand why this keyboard/stand exists. It has a practical function.

But imagine sitting down at Starbucks. The room is full of normal laptops. Clean lines. Thin aluminum. Civilized.

You unzip a case that looks like it contains military hardware. Out comes a handheld gaming console.

Then a keyboard.

Then a clamp.

You assemble it in stages like you’re preparing to launch a small satellite.

Click. Lock. Adjust angle. Tighten mount.

The joysticks loom over your Word document like twin anti-aircraft turrets. The ABXY buttons shimmer with the promise of violence.

You begin typing your gentle coming-of-age novel.

Every paragraph is written beneath a D-pad.

Someone glances over, expecting Elden Ring. Instead they see you carefully crafting a metaphor about autumn leaves.

You nod solemnly and continue Chapter 3.

When the barista calls your name, you detach the entire contraption in reverse order like a NASA rollback procedure.

You pack away the clamp. You holster the console. You slide the keyboard into its sheath.

You leave behind only confusion.

No one knows if you were coding, gaming, or coordinating a drone strike.

You were writing poetry.

A Steam Deck handheld gaming device mounted in a central clamp above a slim, compact keyboard with blue backlit keys and a built-in trackpad. The setup resembles a miniature laptop, with the Steam Deck’s screen blank and its controls visible on both sides. The keyboard base is dark gray and angled slightly upward against a plain white background.
