I always hate when my own computer says I need permission. “Permission”? I own your damn ass! It should be more like, “Unable to comply due to security settings” - and even better, tell me where the settings are, and add, “Your Majesty”.
Insert that intentionally unhinged thing I like to post here, about how we should bring back victorian servant-to-master etiquette but only and exclusively for computers trying to communicate with humans.
you know on the one hand i like the idea, but on the other i would like my computer to be as unantropomorphized as possible so that i don’t start treating it like it has feelings.
i’ll take ERR 0x2038A702 UNABLE TO COMPLY; LP0 ON FIRE over oh nyo pwease don't SIGKILL me uwu any day.
