As a 17 year old who only really uses Lemmy, Youtube and IRC I think social media is the least of my problems. I wouldn’t spend so much time online if there was anything else to do. The outside is a suburban wasteland that offers nothing. The most I can do is walk to the library an hour away and read a book there.

I think a IRC server/channel full of lemmings would be cool. I wish my friends used IRC.

Except the school prepares the children with none of that in its current state. Those chromebooks are incredibly locked to the point of being practically useless beyond searching stuff on google. We have still have textbooks at my school but most people prefer the pdf version. Most of the kids at my school are incredibly tech illiterate to the point of not knowing how the filesystem works. Most of them have used mobile devices as their primary computers and use laptops just as a glorified browser.

Yeah its closed source because the devs don’t want people to fork the project for some reason. I thought the app had pretty good user experience when I used it but I am more of a vimwiki type of guy.

Obsidian, its pretty pro user but the devs are scared of forks for some reason.

Damn now I want pedal powered train

Even in bike racing the optimal form ends being to become a train. A peloton is just a train made up of bikes.

I use audacious. It’s perfect.

As a young person, who only learned about IRC a couple years ago. I am amazed that people still remember this single bash.org quote so well.

any sort of FFI on a modern OS will need to be done through C

IRC? Matrix? XMPP?

too late now, I wiped it with a nice EndeavourOS install ages ago

winget doesn’t even work properly. I tried installing gcc with it and it installed some random chinese package.

I was given a phone quite young but completely discarded it after I bought myself a thinkpad. No need for it when I can be comfortable on my Arch setup. I think the amount of brain damage could be severely reduced if they only had access to a family PC or something. Most kids probably wouldn’t even touch the PC until way later.

I am a teenager and can’t understand shit. What does HMU even mean?

I mean I used tools like UltimMC to get around having to make a minecraft account. UltimMC doesn’t provide the games themselves, that is downloaded from mojang’s website, UltimMC simply provides a way to get around basic DRM.

Yes but under the hood, IOS is using a filesystem. Hiding helpful details is not the same as simply being a different way to use a computer. One actively makes the computer harder to use.

Most of the time, the tools I use to pirate are open source themselves so that isn’t really a problem for me.

Don’t start this. Its not like gif. Git is clearly pronounced like git. There is no possible argument you can make otherwise.
