Is this a windows joke I'm too linux to understand?
Yes if you hold "shift" for 5 seconds, it will attempt to turn on sticky keys, which makes individual key strokes act like if you were holding them down. Individually pressing ctrl, alt, del with sticky keys is like pressing ctrl+alt+del
Correction because I'm annoying: it's when you press shift 5 times in a row. It would be terrible if just holding it down for 5 seconds activated it, haha
It's both, different computers have different settings
Ha ha, it's still so fucking stupid though.
Hey let's activate hard disk defragmentation if you type 1 2 3 and 4 !!
Gee, I wonder why anybody might need an accessibility feature that enables key combinations to be executed one key at a time? I mean, it's not like there's anybody alive on Earth who's missing fingers, or has to use a pointing implement, so I guess we'll never know.
Windows has a lot of features to make computing easier for the profoundly disabled, you should check the Ease of Access Center to see if there's one for you.
So smart to use the shift button. It's idiotic. Put it in some config panel somewhere instead.
It makes it easier for people who struggle to enable it, and the able bodied can learn turn it off as well as the shortcut. It's not for you or about you, you weren't considered at all. Skill issue
Calm down, it's about a stupid windows feature, not the future of the planet lol.
This from the guy who doesn't know how to use his own computer? Don't try to save face.
And here I were, thinking Reddit didn't leak into Lemmy. Blocked.

Its a rite of passage for any computer with a freshly installed windows
KDE has an option to enable them if you want.
So does xfce.
Was going to say, I don't remember seeing this anytime recently, then remembered I've been daily driving Linux for like 5 years, lol.
Is Linux so bad that it doesn't have accessibility options?
