I feel like the people I interact with irl don’t even know how to boot from a USB. People here probably know how to do some form of coding or at least navigate a directory through the command line. Stg I would bet money on the average person not even being able to create a Lemmy account without assistance.
I’ve been banned like twice lol
See even this is over my head. I have no idea what a tor network is. Maybe next year I will know more.
I’ve had someone I o kw mention this and it’s true for me also. We underestimate our own skills and over estimate the general others.
One time my dad said he thought direct current was the future and alternating current was soon to be replaced. I legit heard dial up sounds in my head.
I think my dad’s quite smart so that one was a little bit of a shock. We had a quick convo and both came away with a better understanding.
This seems contradictory to me being a narcissist asshole.
Continues mumbling to myself aggravated that my spouse put a giant pot in the bottom of the dishwasher blocking all the water from being able to reach anything above it.
2y ago (during the reddit app lockdown) there was a lot of groundswell for joining other communities. Quite a few people made how-to videos showing the process. Although I bet they’re a little outdated now…
I mean creating an account is no different than creating any other online account so I have to think the average netizen can do that. navigating the command line is much more rare of a thing and coding more so although it does not take much command line before you might want to modify some home directory files and that leads to scripting. Booting from a usb setup already to do it I think is not toooo uncommon but setting up a usb drive to boot an iso you put on it is a different story. Your right though that given what the federation is Im guessing it likely has a tech ratio similar to slashdot I reckon.
Yeah thats true, but there are things that lemmy fights over. AI for example, theres a few AI enjoyers here. Linux v the world.
Its to be expected that the people who share this space are a little bit likeminded.

Ditto. And they keep pumping up Linux and refusing to accept that not everyone is tech savvy.

Nothing wrong with that given a multi billion dollar scheme to trap people with Copilot.
