You also have to include how many mouse clicks/keys you used yo bind them to non-shift keys
What, are you saying we're counting one-time configuration costs? If so, the hundred or so configuration clicks are still utterly dwarfed by the tens of thousands of saved keystrokes. Statistical noise.
Anyway, I ruined the joke by correcting the grammar. "Less than 3" is "<3", whether it took a hundred keystrokes to type or not. "Fewer than three" breaks the joke.
All previous clicks should be counted, including installing linux, opening firefox/a firefox fork and arguing with strangers only about how many clicks are needed to type "<3"
Good point, but I think it doesn't go far enough. I think we need to include all of the key clicks and mouse movements needed to develop the Linux kernel and GNU tools, plus everything that went into designing and delivering the keyboard to you.
Dont forget about the invention and evolution of the computer
How many clicks do you think were needed to cause the Big Bang?
I feel like the clicks before the Big Bang shouldnt count. That would make it too long of a timespan
Clicks in parallel dimensions should count though
