     @ryo Palm pilot used to use the term applet which at least hinted at the origin of the word. It was the most responsible take I have ever seen in the mobile space… before the world slipped into shartphone madness.

     That term reminds me of the George Carlin quote:
     "I don't have pet peeves, I have major psychotic fucking hatreds."

     Because that is exactly how I feel about it. Pretty sure I have hated it from the moment I first heard it, on pure instinct, and only figured out why afterwards. https://social.076.moe/url/113156
