JosephNotASlavInteresting to think about how computer literacy is decreasing as time goes on. Future computers will probably be like cars (something only the rare enthusiast will care or know how to maintain on their own) or everything will go the modern Apple route, of designers full on making it impossible to fix or modify them on your own, forcing you to go to a licensed technician.
@JosephNotASlav right now there are zoomers who have deliberately enrolled in computer science classes who are completely dumbfounded by the concept of files and directories
@lina@skylar Zoomers are too used to the modern sanitized internet. Would've been unthinkable to use your real name for shit as recently as the late 2000s. Internet used too weed out the stupid. Needed to download some song you like? You either learned how to seperate NotAVirus.mp3.exe.bat from legit downloads or just fucked off. Nowadays they'll gladly pay out the ass for streaming services and be happy. Pathetic.
@JosephNotASlav@skylar >downloads Movie.Name.38x.x8932.mp4.exe >runs it >gets winlocker demanding ransom for alleged child pornography storage unrelated to zoomers claiming that all torrents are viruses, because they're clearly raised to comply to corporate norms and cannot fathom stealing what is already been stolen dozens of times before you
@skylar It's insane. I constantly see zoomers talking about how they're afraid to torrent even tv shows or movies because they're afraid of getting a virus, or just because they have no idea to even do it. Shit, I basically grew up torrenting everything and this mentality is just so alien to me.
