so i was teaching a class on my personal computer

I've had a few linux installs that had screensavers for x windows called bitrot instead of decay (though they are the same thing)

I guess it depends on whether you were formally educated or not.

The software degredation due to upgrading systems and neglect in software patching /updates to keep it running/forwards compatible is the more accurate answer from a technical standpoint.

IMO anyone who actually thinks a formal computer science education is valid is dumb as shit anyway, I always ran circles around the stupid indians with 10 letter last names and CS degrees. In every regard.

I just went to school to get my credentials I didn't give a shit about what they taught because it's all crap in the CS field aside from a few bits and bobs about computer theory and binary maths.
