Even now it took me 30 minutes to figure it out.

We still love you!

Is this actually the reason it's called this? Like dead serious.
-
That took a bit of time for me too

How am I just hearing about this now?

NonNewtonianWare

I love how everyone both believes this but is so upset that they didn't realize that they need confirmation
-
Wait until you learn about wetware.
-
To extend on the theme, can we start calling the codebases of platforms that have undergone enshitification “chodeware”?
-
Shitware, I’d think.

What's next... Underware?

semper ubi sub ubi

Half-chubware

Is this true?

I want to believe...
Also halfway between a bit and a byte is a nibble.

The fact that Java compiles into Jars always makes me smile.
-
QBasic came with NIBBLES.BAS, a snake game using text-mode characters as "pixels". Specifically it faked a 80x50 "pixel" grid using the standard 80x25 text screen where each 8-bit (=1 byte) text character made up two monochrome pixels using ▄ or ▀ or █ or an empty space.
I assume the name derived from the fact that, in a way, one pixel was "using half a byte", i. e. a nibble.
