What ever happend to the classic "reticulating splines"?

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There a progress bar in an application I wrote that has a one in twenty chance of saying "Reticulating Splines" instead of its usual label.

I have a few hundred users so there are definitely people who have seen it, but so far no one has mentioned it.

Most users don’t care and those who do know chuckle and move along. :-)

We don't reticulate splines any more.
