 @bsletten @ALoiteringFlaneur @greensofshade I don't quite get it how one should be able to criticize our time while mysteriously considering that there's not much to criticize in the latest generation that, guess what, happens to be a product of our time (the same for the older one, and the one before and so on). This "ok boomer" reflex is ridiculous. @ratel @bsletten @ALoiteringFlaneur it's as ridiculous as this "gen Alpha"-take 🤷🏻♀️ congrats you found the point @greensofshade @ratel @bsletten gosh, the joke is about millenials' faithful believe in the future generations, not the critic of them *whoosh* @ALoiteringFlaneur @greensofshade @bsletten no one's blaming anyone I guess, we're all so equally smart and enlightened and open-minded, hum well yes there are differences but all of them so wonderful and... and identical and... and... different and ... Oh god    @bsletten Jokes aside, I've found that by growing up with all this since super early on (late 80s/early 90s DOS era) I have found that I have a more fundamental understanding of more of how things work than even many experts that came later than me. Even on wildly different platforms (such as smartphones) I can often recognize issues that confuse people. Also, 99% of those issues are that the box you're trying to type in lost focus and you just need to tap/click on it again. 😁 @nazokiyoubinbou I think part of why is that you had to learn these skills. The other is that for some reason society doesn't consider technical literacy a necessary skill to learn. But on the other hand plenty of people grow up without knowing how to cook, clean or do basic maintenance on their things either.  As a millennial programmer, I find it almost mind-blowing that younger generations don’t really know what files or directories are. Don’t they organize stuff on their phones or in the cloud? Such is progress, I guess 🤔   |
@bsletten oh the hashtags, you have looked into my soul…
