dithers

Can't decide anything

Dithers is the third-person singular of dither, meaning to hesitate or act indecisively: She dithers over every small decision.

Someone who dithers wavers between options without committing, often frustratingly so.

In computing and graphics, dithering is a technique that simulates colors or tones by mixing available ones—a precise technical process, unlike its indecisive human counterpart.
