As a 17 year old who only really uses Lemmy, Youtube and IRC I think social media is the least of my problems. I wouldn’t spend so much time online if there was anything else to do. The outside is a suburban wasteland that offers nothing. The most I can do is walk to the library an hour away and read a book there.
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.
Same (I use arch btw). Although I do end up using MacOS at work.
I have never seen a kid sit down for O Canada unless they are in a wheelchair. Of course getting sent to the principle’s is not worth it but I would admire a kid who had the balls to do it.
As a zoomer (17) I kind of agree but I really don’t think its that deep although big tech does seem to profit off people’s incompetence. Yes kids my age know very little about the computers they use. Hell most kids don’t even seem to know where their files are or how file paths work. I recently in Comp Sci class had a kid look at me confused when I mentioned the folder he was looking for was in his home directory. The dumbing down of Tech is definitely a culprit. Not always even in ways that the tech easier to use. Finder on MacOS outright hides things from you on purpose like file paths and being able to access arbitrary folder on your system. There are a considerable amount of features locked away in the settings menu where the vast majority of people will never even look. I highly think all of this is malicious as it severely degrades user experience and sets them to fail in the long run. Don’t even get me started on the whole random files will end up in ICloud/Onedrive and there is nothing you can do about it.
and thats why you always need a backup computer.
Congratulations!
I don’t think you understand leftism. Economic leftism (Socialism, Marxism, Communism) is inherently anti capitalist. The social spectrum of left and right is pointless. I am not necessarily a Liberal but I would define myself as a leftist. I do not consider liberals to be inherently leftists.
Was his name Abraham?
I am Gen Z and I don’t really know what you are talking about but generally most parents are pretty strict and most kids have helicopter parents. I wasn’t allowed to play outside as a kid beyond the porch until I inevitably started sneaking out on my bike. Parents generally try to monitor everything and are scared of anything mildly independent. Walk to the store? Get yelled at. Get to school by yourself by walking or cycling? Get yelled at. Take the city bus home? Get yelled at. I generally just ignore them but its tiring when I am just trying to live a normal life. Granted I don’t have it as bad as some. I know kids whose entire internet usage is heavily monitored and restricted as well as the usual physical restrictions.
yeah I didn’t mean that in an accusatory way.
No I don’t think you understand. He isn’t corrupt. The military basically controls the government in Pakistan and they didn’t like him and tried to remove him from power. They even shot him in the leg. Imran Khan was democratically elected and is very popular. The government has had to make huge efforts to censor the media to keep the uproar at bay. Its banned on the news to mention Imran Khan.
The main problem is its different from the main POSIX style shells. Just makes it very confusing to use with its own proprietary functions and commands.
That is a dangerous opinion. In my mind, Microsoft has made zero good products.
Actually its zsh but yeah nothing special.
I wish I could by train to work. I honestly wouldn’t even mind the noise if I had the option to take a train. I bring my noise cancelling headphones everywhere so I doubt I would even hear it.
any sort of FFI on a modern OS will need to be done through C
I mean I used tools like UltimMC to get around having to make a minecraft account. UltimMC doesn’t provide the games themselves, that is downloaded from mojang’s website, UltimMC simply provides a way to get around basic DRM.
Yeah I guess. North American suburbs are not built for youth. It sucks here. I wish I was born in the Netherlands or something but where I live I have no way to actually safely leave my subdivision since its divided from the nearest city by the Highway 401.
