D_Air1@lemmy.ml 5 days agoTo summarize what I was telling another person. The number of people who care are far outnumbered by the number of people who don’t. It doesn’t matter if you or I or all 10,000 (just a random number for the sake of argument) of the people subscribed to a sub like this were to cancel when r/justworks or r/normie (made up subreddits for the sake of argument) has 100,000,000 who don’t give a damn about computers, privacy, or anything else beyond the service working or not.

I agree. Tech communities have a habit of drastically over estimating how much everyone else cares about the details of tech.
Even something as simple as PC gaming scares off a lot of people because of the perception that you need to be some kind of tech wizard in order to cobble everything together to make a game run. Actual cobbling together of software to pirate (no matter how simple it seems to people in the know) is just a bunch of technobabble.

I have people whom I still need to explain copy and paste to on a regular basis. Trust me, I understand.

I’m a millennial and sometimes I feel like we’re the only generation that learnt how to use computers properly. Boomers often aren’t great with tech, and neither are Gen Z / Alpha since they use phones and tablets far more.
