I'm curious why you would be fumbling in your computer trying to find tickets.

I do find the plethora of window managers interesting. Is that same level of exploration going to exist in wayland? My understanding was that the job of a window manager is very different in that world.

I mean, it's certainly a joke, but because jokes are always better explained (/s) it's because most airlines offer the option of paperless ticket emails these days, and if you don't have a smartphone, you'll have to bring up the image on a desktop so they can scan it at the gate.

Right, I mostly get that. I have literally never seen anyone use a computer at airport security. As such, the joke falls rather flat. Would be better on a story about using emacs on your phone?

Some people print their tickets at home. That's what I assumed they meant.

I should have also said I meant my quip mostly in jest, as well. I don't actually question why they would be doing something I know they aren't actually ever doing. :D

Well what if I want the option
