Clown take. “People should just get smart!”

95% of all American adults cannot use search functions in email.

They don’t track and sell user data like DDG does.

I’ve been using Qwant on my laptop and phone for a couple months. Solid search. More useful than Google. The first result is usually the one I’m looking for

If ur mean to Elon we leave NATO.

A very hinged take. Thank you Kanye, very cool.

Don’t let them win by giving up spaces they go to. The overall majority of blue sky that I’ve seen has been pretty similar to Lemmy/Mastodon in terms of general content. Make a Nazi cry, don’t let them kick you out of your spaces.

They are incompatible with society and it’s time they’re made to feel that way.

I’ve switched from Premiere to Kdenlive and I find that it works fantastically. It’s more clunky a bit but the features are all there.

Because piracy is illegal and the mods of lemmy.world are afraid of getting in legal trouble.

GPT4All and then any model you like. I like mistral.

I dunno they’re illegal in Canada anyways so I’ve never thought to price match a taser.

If calling it that will make you feel better, who am I to stop ya?

That’s some genuine ghoul logic. You’re a Luddite if you value your privacy and resist predators. Great take lmao. Totally hinged.

Your idea of making “operating systems interesting” is to screenshot and spy on a users activity in the odd event that they want to go back and have a photographic memory of it? You and I have VASTLY different ideas of what “interesting” means.

A friend of mine bought a taser that shoots those little barbs for $15. Absolutely insane.

Second Bazzite. My use case is almost identical to OPs. Been using Bazzite for a while and I haven’t had a single issue. Everything works. Gaming is a breeze. Even works with my work dock with keyboard, mouse, webcam, and 2 1080p monitors attached. Plug n play.

Never had that experience on Linux before in my LIFE

You keep referencing your own personal tech adeptness as some sort of gotcha against what the study found. This is exactly what they say. People well-versed in tech greatly overestimate the general public’s tech abilities.

You are in your own bubble. Your kids are good at tech because YOU are good at tech. Just peruse through your posting history. You’re posting about hacker conferences and running local Joplin services. You are NOT the average tech consumer. Congratulations on being surrounded by like minded peers. You are not the average.

The findings of the study went absolutely over your head. You’re clearly very tied to your personal experience and cannot see outside of it so any more interaction or discussion would be a waste of both of our times. Take care.

You might be misunderstanding what I’m saying. I haven’t said that there aren’t any in the 40+ crowd that are tech savvy, just the overwhelming majority arent.

It’s not me who’s just spouting this, I’m paraphrasing a study that was done that found these results:

What country is this?

I expect someone in their 40s to not know copy and paste. The more savvy that I have worked with/taught knew they could right click and then click “copy” from the drop down list. Ctrl+c blew some peoples minds when I showed it.

People who are good with tech VASTLY overestimate the general public’s tech literacy. But don’t take my word for it, take this study’s word: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/computer-skill-levels/

I’m having a very hard time accepting that your 60 year old parents, after seeing Linux, said something along the lines of “What was windows doing for us?”

I teach adults 40-80 on how to use Windows products. I’ve taught over 5,000 people this year so far. The vast majority didn’t even understand the concept of browser tabs or copy/paste. These are people well into their professions in corporate office jobs. They don’t even know what an operating system is.

Nudity=sex and sex is worse than violence there.
