I very much hate the word app. That's probably my biggest boomer trait.

You should check the Cloud to Butt extension. It is immature, but it can make you laugh

I powered on my computer, my app started, which started my main app, which started my essential apps, which started my app that I use to open my other app, which I use to go to my other app that I use to watch other apps being used by otgher people.

You will get an invisible candy if you can correctly decode this.

I'll bite: I powered on my computer. My bios started which started my init process, which started my daemons, which started my login manager (maybe slim), which started my DE (maybe gnome), which I use to go to my browser in order to watch other people stream video games.

I'm dicey on what the browser is being used for - maybe security software? - but I feel like it's plausible.

I hate the term. It waters down true programmers and hard work. 9 year old rips off someone and makes game, "app". Actual software dev makes useful program using hard work and their own assets, "app".

What's the difference between an application and a program?

Historically, an app is something with very limited uses, and a program is more powerful.

Adobe PhotoShop is a program. Apple Photos is an app.
