Leave them be and put up more public toilets and clean injection sites.
- Comment on LINUX is still HARD to install? 1 year ago:
I get what you're trying to say, but would you ever expect that old man to attempt to install ANY operating system whether its linux or windows or temple os?
I think maybe you should be advocating for more OEM systems to come preinstalled with linux rather than windows. It obviously doesn't make a difference if they're using windows or Ubuntu, the general principles are the same as far as using a mouse, finding a minimized window, etc. People like that are never going to consider doing their own installs and should probably have some support structure that assists them like you were doing.
As far as people in offices being computer illiterate, companies need to do better training of their own or just give a basic proficiency test when they're hiring new people.

Wow that is satisfying.

The only time ive ever seen anything about second life before all this meta bs was videos of people getting into private rooms and constantly trolling the shit out of a bunch of people that sounded like they were from Alabama. They were freaking out because they couldn't figure out how to get rid of them, it was hilarious.

That's more of a genrral lack of awareness rather than a lack of computer skills.
- Comment on LINUX is still HARD to install? 1 year ago:
Only one, but you're equating critical thinking with knowing another language and I dont know why. Its not like the docs are written in another language you can't understand.
The Ubuntu install guide literally walks you through every step of the process. I think even tells you how to figure out the steps you need to change the boot device.
Maybe I'm just being an asshole gatekeeper, I should probably tone it back a bit. I guess we should all want more linux users since that means better driver support (maybe) as adoption increases.
I think the problems I am angry about has more to do with a broadband connection in everyone's pockets making it easy for idiots' opinions to spread like wildfire into the real world.

The worst part about people like that is that their inability to comprehend basic computer usage doesn't stop them from ranting about immigrants on Facebook.
I am firmly in the camp of the internet being too inclusive. Make it a bit difficult to use again and maybe people will stop being idiots on whatever "app" they use.
- Comment on LINUX is still HARD to install? 1 year ago:
It really isn't. Any Ubuntu installer is 90% clicking next.
You can hold a users hand but it will end up biting you or them in the ass when you're not there to help them. People need to learn how to learn again. There's infinite number of guides, tutorials, and if you can't read theres YouTube videos.
If you can pass grade school you can figure out how to install your own operating system.

Honestly I dont care. If they can't be bothered to RTFM then its their loss.

Its really not. Most people dont do it because they dont care.

When was the last time you heard of a non computer literate person installing windows?

Oh yeah that will save us from the patriot act and the near complete loss of our fourth amendment rights.
Just like how nobody has to go to work on labor day.
- Comment on What is the reason that you joined lemmy? 1 year ago:
Created an account in alpha used it a bit but there was really no content then since the platform was still under heavy development. Eventually got a site wide Reddit ban for poking the anarchist sub too often. Those mods are assholes. 13 year old account poof up in smoke.
And so now I'm here and elsewhere. Reddit ban was a great thing in the end I recommend everyone do the same.

Definitely looking forward to the steam deck and hope to get one.
I'm really looking forward to the new legion 5 pro laptop with ryzen CPU as well as a dedicated radeon mobile GPU. Nvidia has dominated discrete graphics on higher end mobile platforms and it I am just sick of their Linux drivers. There's already a few of these made by MSI and asus but I'm holding out for the legion with the r6600m GPUs.
