Angry and nihilistic teenagers used to have tech skills and laptops. Now they have iPads and TikTok.

Maybe we need to teach them the kinds of things that AI can’t do, instead of the same old crap?
Congratulations!
I have an unfinished Software Engineering degree. While studying, I started a small businesses to do some freelance IT work on the side and one client offered me a full-time job, so I put the studies on hold and then never looked back. Been climbing through different positions and companies since then. Experience is valued much higher than a diploma, especially in an industry that evolves too quickly for education to keep up. I quit the industry recently to start teaching, because there is huge need for teachers that can teach programming, and working with people is much more rewarding than a big paycheck (imo).
In all of my job interviews, I’ve been asked more about the company I started while studying, than the degree that I quit. So I guess my tip is to start your own thing or start teaching. Having your own business with a license also makes it way easier for big companies to hire you for contract work.
Great! Like installing square wheels on my bike
For a democracy to work it’s people need to act like political consumers. To do so, they need to be informed about the products they consume and their alternatives.
Also, a lot of Scandinavian libraries are switching their public desktop PCs to Linux.
LightBurn should hire better developers then
Great game!
Best value for money if you like deckbuilders and rogue likes. Fantastic game. The second one is coming out next year!
Didn’t even notice at first. It’s almost too poetic.
Maybe start with the death of the two-party system?
I think you maybe read something that the op didn’t write? Pointing out that “there are racists everywhere” is in itself not a racist statement.
And 99% of computer use for most people is in a browser. No need for an overly complex OS, with constant stupid pop-ups to ruin that browser experience.
Defintiely! I recently bought a used Thinkpad and slapped Pop!_OS on it for my father-in-law. He’s 73 and he’s loving it! He proudly tells his friends that he is now “a part of a computer revolution”.
He should be paid double for the amount of work he puts into those ads
It’s honestly so weird that you can just take up public space with your dumb-ass car, that is not even in use 99% of the time.
Voting days should be mandatory holidays
I don’t think this about trying to close it, but rather put a big fat sticker on everything that comes out of the box, so consumers can actually make informed decisions.
I actually teach teenagers programming and 3D modelling. The past 5 years has been the first decline in tech literacy I’ve ever experienced between generations. My personal theory is that only the gamers actually have computers at home now. Everyone else only use their smartphones, and that only gives a negligible increase in tech literacy compared to using a computer.
