Just because I don't hand-code HTML doesn't mean I can't vote you techsist pig!

Turns out it was a kernel panic, grandma. That was techsist of me to assume you broke it with your oldness.

Techcist 

When software assumes you want, or typically forces you into, maximum bells and whistles upon first install/upgrade and potentially even restricts you from shutting down said options/bloatware that it has acquired over years of unnecessary releases that add junk instead of real value.

The act of trying to force a software user to conform to the developer's ways of imagining the software should be used.

Have you seen the latest popular chat program I was just forced to upgrade? Now it's wanting me to also sign in to my Twitter & Face Book accounts every time I start it. And it's trying to run full screen? This thing is so techcist now!
