Let me guess: they’re talking about Millennials, and are entirely forgetting about Gen X once again.

Computers have been dumbed down and simplified for the masses. When I was a kid a computer did not cooperate until you raised your voice.
There should be a class where they force you to install arch Linux without the automated install script and force people to learn how an OS works, or even make them do a Gentoo installation. You only pass it if you get to a fully functioning PC with a web browser and desktop environment
I can:
- Accomplish damn near anything from a command line
- Write machine code
- Remember a fairly broad swath of special character altcodes without looking them up
- Disassemble damn near any computer or other machine, and stand a good chance of putting it back together
But also:
- Use modern programming languages, including object oriented paradigms
- Actually read what is on my screen and comprehend it, including error messages
- Understand and operate any arbitrary interface without having to have it explained to me by rote

And they’re almost as conservative as boomers too. Fucking shame.
Good. We don’t need to learn any of this shit. You can do it ourselves and facilitate the tools for us users
