Year of the Linux Desktop Fediverse!
Side note, DAE find calling them "normies" kinda icky? It's like straight outta 4chan
You're viewing a single thread.
You're expecting Zoomers and Gen Alpha irreversibly addicted to short-form video content, which has resulted in an attention span that doesn't extend past 30 seconds, to READ?
(Not all of us, please. I'm 18 - and I love to read - and that's how I'm even a media and middleware loving nerdy programmer, and that's how I'm here!!! I'm not even from a developed nation...)
(...I've been recommended by YouTube, videos of gen-alpha peeps talking about and using GNU-Linux OSs passionately, even!)
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.
Only on Lemmy will I ever find such kind words time-and-time-again. Everybody is so truly dedicated to their morals and... just chill. Just nerds hanging out somewhere truly calm!...
Long-live Lemm-Lemm, peeps, long-live Lemm-Lemm!
Ok boomer
I find this mentality disgusting. "Young people bad!"
My kids use a plethora of short-form video apps, and they also read novels, in addition to hobbies like cooking, knitting, crocheting, mechanical work, etc.
Maybe it's just your kids.
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.
You know what, I shouldn't comment before I eat breakfast. You're fine, I hope you have a very nice day.
There are plenty of kids who aren’t interested at all in the activities yours are.
Maybe your kids are the exception.
Your comment is another proof that Lemmy/Fediverse is lacking young people
More or less is proving my point no?
No, it just shows a lack of understanding and is very unwelcoming.
