    I don’t know if everyone here is just a galaxy brain or what, but I’m surprised nobody has asked or explained the joke. The red bird is a CPU running lines of assembly instructions and the crow is user input causing an interrupt to press the e key. This particular type of interrupt exists because it would feel really bad if you were typing, and the text didn’t show up until several seconds later when the CPU felt like processing the (hopefully) buffered input.

    Quality meme op

      Meanwhile me enjoying multiple seconds latency when typing some commands in ssh using putty inside a windows VM using RDP accessed via a shitty corporate VPN from the other side of the world, while using another VPN because corporate blocked all traffics from other countries…

      And here my barely awake trans ass was wondering why the crow was talking about estrogen 😅.

      I need coffee.

      Around normal people I feel like a fucking god when it comes to computers. But then I come here and I barely know what a computer is. Thanks for explaining.

      Makes more sense than my interpretation.

      I thought someone was typing assembler on their phone and autocorrect didn’t like that they spelled mov without the e at the end.
