It seems really counterintuitive, but computer literacy has taken a huge nosedive since the early days.

I have a 9 year old son, and while it’s anecdotal I know for a fact he’s the only one in his class who knows what the different components look like and what they do. All his friends are major gamers, but they have no idea how any of it works under the hood, so to speak, nor are they able to do a proper Google search, or organize files.

It boggled my mind when I first realized it also. At least my son got a nice headstart, as he’s already into python and stuff. I’m proud as hell, lol.

From a personal point of view the more I use Lemmy the more I like it. There are a lot of QoL features I really think is better here. Like this built in reply window, for instance.
