Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
I used an Apple IIe in 1st grade. With the big 5.25in floppys. Learned logo and figured out how to make spirograms using recursive patterns.
Much later we got a Dell P90 and win 95 before going through the rest of windows releases up through win 7. I figured out Linux in high school at some point, but that’s more of a hobby from time to time.
But also used os/7/8/9 at school and later switched to Mac in general.
Seems like one of those bell curve memes with macOS on the left and right and windows in the center
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Well the economy is what rips you off to make companies money, so its actually one of the more honest usages I've seen
Bigger distinction: Kids with computers vs. kids with “smart” devices.
I feel that is the difference we're seeing though. Younger kids who generally live on smart devices have lower tech literacy.
She must have had a Mac. Only Windows teaches both the knowledge and the fury to convince children to switch to Linux.
This isn't right at all... Mac's are awful if you want to do things like play most video games. Linux is much the same.
That's right. I said it. Come downvote me, fanboys, I don't mind. I've seen what makes you cheer.
Proton is way better than whatever thing Apple has going on (didn't they say they were working on their own proton-like thing? did they just forget about it? I remember seeing a video with some sort of dev preview a while ago...)
Most video games work perfectly in Linux now...
When I was 12 I installed Linux... and now I have autism. And I'm gay!
Personally, I guess that you learn more the more issues you have. MacOS is a more closed down ecosystem compared to Windows, malware is less popular and as hardware comes usually bundled with the OS, you shouldn't encounter as many driver or hardware issues in general.
As a kid I had so much trouble with incompatible software, viruses, adware, drivers, broken hardware etc. And as I had noone to ask, it tought me a lot about the fundamentals of IT and how to research such issues myself.
At risk of going off topic, I don’t like Twitter posts like this:
Both users ‘verified,’ essentially paying for more engagement, but with no actual “verification” like community mods tagging users.
In your face engagement metrics all over the posts, as if that’s all that matters. Not even a user “poll” like Lemmy/Reddit or Mastadon/Facebook.
Hiding most replies other than the most algorithmically engaging ones.
Posted as a screenshot, unfortunately necessary as they essentially broke Nitter and it’s nigh unusable unless logged in.
I don’t like that the Twitter format is kinda the center of the social media universe, and seemingly staying that way now that we basically voted to back it with the US govt.
