Funny but no. I’m usually very self deprecating but I dont really know anyone else that is tech literate and learns all the time as I do. They either have no desire to learn it or are just tired/lazy. I’m not even talking about my family that is 100% maga fox news 24/7, even my actual friends are just ignorant.
And yes, compared to a lot of super smart Lemmy folks with masters degrees I’m a total idiot. But I’m saying the IRL folks I know are faaaar stupider.

I think it’s okay to give friends advice because you think you know better. It’s also perfectly fine if they don’t share your views, whether out of laziness, inertia, or convenience, or because they’ve weighed the pros and cons for themselves and don’t agree with you. Ranting doesn’t accomplish anything productive. Trying to convert others and insisting on your own absolute truth doesn’t either. To others, it comes across as propaganda, and you just end up looking like an idiot.

Hence why i posted on “rant” dude 😅.
And I’m never the “ohmygod you need Linux how can you use windoze you dont even have control over your kernel dude”. I’m more like “hey, you know every single thing you say on fb messenger is monitored and used to track you and train ai to surveil you. Let’s use signal or something else, its really easy!” And no one listens. Or when I say to stop using x and tiktok for maaaaaaaany reasons. People are addicted and have zero idea the implications of their bad choices.

Still, for some reason, that meme keeps popping into my head.
