Yesterday I had one of our users tell me her 7zip was “eating files”.
So I told her to show me what her process was for unzipping a folder.
This bitch hit the “extract here” button on the folder as it sat in her download folder which has stuff going back to 2019 in there. So naturally the last edit dates of all the contents in that zipped folder sent things off all over her downloads folder.
I know my generation was the first to really grow up with computers but I have met people older than me that learned the basics. Some people just don’t want to learn how to better use a computer.
This is also true. My little siblings are all about as bad with computers as my parents. It’s really only millennials that seem to be the tech savvy generation for the most part.
You mean, only millennials are savvy with the generation of tech they grew up with.
Zoomers are the same way with AI and Social Media and Content Creation. That’s the generation of tech that they got started with, and everything I use will seem like a slow stupid dinosaur in comparison.
Millennial kids were making animated movies with more powerful, free tools then what’s available for now. Now it’s all designed to churn out the 30 slop of the same dances to the same songs.
Hey, there was a time when “googling” something wasn’t a skill, there was a time when “vlogger” wasn’t a real career, a time when “Brand Ambassador” wasn’t a real job. Those are all things that take skill, and practice to do successfully today, and people will pay you money to do it.
Just because an activity seems valueless to you, doesn’t mean it isn’t actually useless.
If you want to property test your chatbots to avoid giving away free stuff, or leaking a bunch of data, you’re going to want a Prompt Engineer to test it.
If you want your brand to go viral and get great advertising, or if you want to minimize the impact of negative messaging, you’re going to want a Social Media professional.
Tell me, when was the last time you went to AlbinoBlacksheep or Newgrounds to check out flash videos anymore? Turns out that was all old slop that no one cares about for the most part as well. Either get used to the fact that tech is going to change along with the knowledge needed to operate it, or accept that you’re going to be a tech-illiterate boomer born a few decades too late.
Hey, there was a time when “googling” something wasn’t a skill,
And googling is not longer a skill because google enshittified their search engine.
there was a time when “vlogger” wasn’t a real career,
Not a career.
a time when “Brand Ambassador” wasn’t a real job.
It’s not a real career. At best, it’s a part time job before the corpo that hired you kicks you to the side.
If you want to property test your chatbots to avoid giving away free stuff, or leaking a bunch of data, you’re going to want a Prompt Engineer to test it.
I have a real job that increases the quality of life of society. Chatbots aren’t relevant to me.
If you want your brand to go viral and get great advertising
Kill me.
or if you want to minimize the impact of negative messaging, you’re going to want a Social Media professional.
That’s like trying to use a hammer to turn a screw.
Looking forward to the first capcut edited long form film. Maybe it already exists. There are certain tasks which scope and complexity means it cannot be made on touchscreens or mobile. I mean, it can, but not comfortably.
I don’t disagree fully but my little brothers and sister are all horrible with all tech. Including AI and all that. Maybe they are just bad at being zoomers idk.
Yeah. I’ve got some co-workers I hate simply because they’re super young and I would have literally killed to have this job at their age. They’re going to be able to retire at such a younger age than me.
I spend a significant amount of time explaining to them how Windows works, when they should have had to go through other, shittier paying jobs to learn that stuff before getting here.
As a digital forensics investigator you have no idea how much I hate and love windows registry. You can find so much shit in there, and it’s such a pile of shit.

Not defending her, but for years I’ve felt like ‘Extract Here’ should create a subfolder by default
Young people (13 - 18) literally cannot use a computer. They are too used to phones.
This is also true. My little siblings are all about as bad with computers as my parents. It’s really only millennials that seem to be the tech savvy generation for the most part.
As usual gen x is forgotten

“Prompt Engineer” isn’t a skill
The only skill is a complete disregard of privacy

Oh, you don’t know what the registry is? Neat.
In their defense our generation should have burned the registry for the abomination it is. And all of Windows for that matter.

config files work fine! we just need a standardised place to put them (that apps follow)
