Sometimes

Your comment is another proof that Lemmy/Fediverse is lacking young people

Love your avatar. I miss Netscape. Not that I remember it being awesome or anything. Just nostalgia.

Then decades of sinophobic propaganda melted. It was amazing to watch.

It's mire simple because they have actual designers that design the app to users to use, so it's not that much difficult to navigate, with all the icons and familiar patterns.

I recommend you to censor your name

Anecdotal counterpoint to your anecdote: I work with the age demographic in question and as a group they are struggling with fundamentally simple tasks. There's almost no tech or media literacy, they're terrible at following any form of discussion longer than one paragraph, they don't actually enjoy reading books and (esp. the boys) are some of the most racist, hate-filled pieces of shit I've ever met. Seriously, I weep for the future because the Alphas and young Zoomers are barely fit to dress themselves, let alone participate in society.

... And sure, I might have made all that up just to draw attention to how little your comment actually contributes. I sure might have done that. But anyways, I'm glad your hypothetical kids are decent. You do understand though that your 2.5 kids aren't a representative sample? Right?

Surprise! Not everyone has watched Sesame Street! Either because it wasn't their thing or it wasn't in their region! So please just stop assuming.

You deserve an award for telling the truth

Yeah, it's amazing the things you can do with UX when your platform takes in enough money that you can support a UI/UX team.

~~don't ask where that money came from or why kthx~~

The self impression of the imperial empires at the time. The kind of thinking that justified genocides, slavery and robbery with "but we bring them culture"

In terms of ethics and culture i would say most places in the world to have been far better developed than European imperialists.

it feels like it's everything republicans/MAGA/right-wing/anti-democratic/etc. use to defame something and direct hate towards it anyway.

That’s exactly what it is.

Oh shit, thanks for the heads up! But this is not my real name. I got it as a captcha years ago and thought it was funny, so it's just some random emails address I have as a backup.

Thanks for encouraging your kids to have diverse interests and hobbies instead of letting a glowing screen raise them. I don't have children but if I did I would hope to achieve the same for them.

[email protected]

More or less is proving my point no?

JackbyDev

Yeah, same. I sort of vaguely remember it as a kid. I had this saved on my computer from somewhere and saw it while making my Lemmy account. What's cool is that it is actually animated on some platforms.

don

There are plenty of kids who aren’t interested at all in the activities yours are.

Maybe your kids are the exception.

I remember just feeling cool for using something different than everyone else.

Kind of uncomfortable how my other tech choices map onto this logic. Linux, vim, fediverse, ... Am I a dickhead?

don

No, not all of you! Or any other group, for that matter. Although I could certainly be wrong, I don’t think the comment is a blanket statement regarding the whole of the two generations, but rather just the portion of the demographic specifically mentioned, which certainly does exist.

Many people older than those two specific generations don’t fit into the “younger generations dumb!” trope that gets highlighted by another commonly referenced subset, so I’d suggest not using that group as a measurement for all older generations. I hope that makes sense.

Ignorant people have a tendency to be loud to compensate for their ignorance, and shouldn’t be used to define those with more nuance.

don

No, having a liking for things that aren’t mainstream, in itself, doesn’t make you a dickhead.

Being a dickhead makes one a dickhead.
