Even the oldest millennials were just toddlers when the C64 was relevant, so this is not a typical millennial experience at all. It's really a GenX thing... so once again we are forgotten.
I would say millennials' computer experience starts in the late DOS/Win3.11 era at the very earliest, but more typically in the Windows 9x and early XP era. So even IRQ/DMA/config.sys/autoexec.bat fuckery is not that typical.
I guess it’s why some Jellyfin streams started transcoding for me.
You're better off using the Jellyfin Media Player standalone application anyway.
Or ctrl+w to close the fucking site and never come back.
It’s apparently a hobby and to be competitive, you need to be able to spew bullshit at amazing rates. Personally I’ve maxed out at 140 wpm
I'm limited by the rate at which I can think of bullshit.
yet all I needed is a "this side up" symbol ...
Platforms like reddit and Tumblr benefit from a friction-free sign up system.
Even on Reddit new accounts are often barred from participating in discussion, or even shadowbanned in some subs, until they've grinded enough karma elsewhere (and consequently, that's why you have karmafarming bots).
Is this a problem here?
Not yet, but it most certainly will be once Lemmy grows big enough.
If your average Windows user calls tech support, they’ll get a simple answer
They'll get a simple answer alright. In fact, they'll be lucky if they get any answer at all that is not reboot, retry, reinstall or some other cargo cult nonsense from some on-paper "MCSA" in a third world country.
And sorry for going on a rant here, but Windows tech support forums are truly the shit tier of all tech support forums, because very few people actually have the skill to properly diagnose problems in Windows when something outside of the realm of expected behavior occurs. It's all learned behaviorisms instead of understanding: reinstall your drivers! defrag your hard drive! run ipconfig /renew! clean your cache folder! delete your cookies! Never: "look in the system eventlog for an error event coming from this source, and tell me what the error code says"
What is the problem with "jargon" anyway? You can't discuss technical things without using technical language.
If you take a bunch of Windows nerds (yes they exist), and get them talking about group policies and registry edits and powershell cmdlets, you get the same thing.
But people whose life or personality doesn’t revolve around their computer should also be protected from user hostile and privacy invading practices.

I know you're joking around here, but you don't have to upgrade every two years. You can use an LTS release instead, or, on the opposite of the spectrum, a rolling release.
Release schedule and duration of support should always be factored into the decision of choosing a distro.
