Computers have been dumbed down and simplified for the masses. When I was a kid a computer did not cooperate until you raised your voice.
I do industrial programming. Everything is so far behind that yelling at the “computers” does nothing. Physical violence is just about the only thing they respect.
For fuck’s sake, give us 2005-2007 kids a microgeneration. We’re like late zillennials.
ZILLENIALS ARE HEREBY A RECOGNIZED SUBSET OF COMPETENT COMPUTER USERS
As a 2007 kid I don’t many of my peers actually are but we are pretty different than post 2007 kids. I still grew up with satellite tv for the most part.
Yeah, but I technically fall outside of the zillennial microgen. We’re right in the middle of Gen Z, and yet we barely fit the stereotype.
I remember watching an interview with the CEO of SUN microsystems in the 90’s argue that you didn’t need to know how to run a nuclear power plant to use a light switch, and you shouldn’t have to know how a computer works to use one.
I guess his vision came true, and we’re mad about it?
Fella, the stuff Gen Z struggles with is the light switch.
They know how to use the light switch, but they have no idea what to do when the bulb burns out.
There are two generations that can do this task X and millennials.
in today’s edition of “why are the kids I raised so damn incompetent?”
i long for a day where people understand that it’s not the ipad kid’s fault they were given a tablet at age 2
Let me guess: they’re talking about Millennials, and are entirely forgetting about Gen X once again.
Probably. But if I’m being generous, we’re really only talking about younger X and older millennials.
Gen X could write a program that’ll make a floppy drive’s loading noises play the Imperial March.
All my homies hate excel

listen man, if you’re going to hire me for an IT position, you better assume i will do nothing other than linux, unless you want to pay me a lot more fucking money, or want me to be very mad, all of the time.
During a zoom, I was presenting my full screen and was opening a new tab instantly with the scroll wheel click and the zoomers on the call was mind blown.
Boomer don’t know how to do shit 'cause computers were so rare. Zoomers don’t know how to do shit 'cause big companies profit from people who can’t help themselves and have low standards.
There was only a small timeframe where computers were available, accessible yet not enshittificated for profit like today.
The amount of my students that wrote the whole email in the subject line is crazy. At first I thought it was a mistake or something. But there are sooo many…
They also don’t know what a file browser/explorer is. As soon as the download notification is gone, the file doesn’t exist anymore.
Giving files proper names? Unheard of!
We grew up in an analog childhood, but digital adulthood.
We’ve been at the cusp of all the changes, we probably had to boot into Ms DOS and navigate to the A:// drive to play whatever was on the floppy disk with a whopping 1.44mb.
Now you download almost instantly to your phone/tablet. The internet as we knew it is mostly dead, everywhere is a walled garden of shit.

Guys I found the zoom zoom infiltrator
It’s been a while ok? 😀
So what this suggests to me is that zoomers are so up their own cell phones that they never bothered to learn how to use pepper computers. That almost funny. Mocking laughter is warring with weary head shaking in me.
I never learned how to use pepper computers either. But I do salt my hashes.
And they’re almost as conservative as boomers too. Fucking shame.
Are you sure?
I actually thought I am part of this blessed generation that can use a computer. But rotating a PDF? That beats me.
Edit: In Okular it’s actually easy to find this function. I was never looking for this for my whole life.
LibreOffice Draw should work just fine for that :)
Are you joking right now? I tried opening a pdf with Libre Draw recently but it didn’t work.
No sir or madame, I actually verified by hand before posting that exact comment because while I did recently use it to edit the contents of a pdf (increase contrast on hiking map for BW print), I haven’t that often and thus I wanted to find the rotate button myself to make sure I was giving legitimate advice :)
