It does feel like zoomies and kids in general have lost a lot of technical knowledge when it comes to computers.
There was a short while when everyone had computers at home, and we became skilled with them because we grew up with them. But those computers were pretty quickly replaced with tablets and phones, leaving the majority of younger generations with much less computer experience.
Because of the locked-down nature and simplified UI design of mobile platforms, they weren’t able to learn skills like navigating file systems or the many tools in document and art programs they would have found on PC.
Rather than being an edutainment tool, mobile devices have offered cheap dopamine hits and predatory monetization. The fact that we know this and do nothing to correct it is incredibly sad.
We’re doomed to help our parents AND our kids.

most yes, some no. Some are fucking geniuses
also, my blame is 1000% on the schools. They lock down computers so much the button to make a FOLDER was disabled… in highschool
Funny, I remember being in middle school and getting detention for playing a RS private server called hackscape, clearly I was intending to hack the school.
Meanwhile I found the network drive and constantly deleted a bullys progress in our keyboarding course lmao, they never figured that one out.
They’ll never know the magic (read: virus minefield) that was WinMX, Kazaa, Limewire, etc.
Or the even worse era of trolling IRC chats looking for DCC bots and hoping your feeble attempts at security or obfuscation will hold. Ah, the good ol days.

Ah limewhire where you went to download ripped halo 3 roms and ended up with a few GB of amature porn
Ah, and there I was, trying to download horse porn and ending up with Halo 3 😅
2001 baby here with a home ubuntu server running Plex + Jellyfin, *arr suite, qbittorrent and slskd in docker, and a few TB on my favourite private trackers. I’m an outlier for sure, I don’t know anyone else my age that even knows what 1337x is

the meme is partly correct i guess :3
TIL those born in 2005 are 20 now.
Well, not “learned,” but you know what I mean. I feel old :(
I feel you, my Steam account turned 20 this month!
I’ve watched so much free anime by being bisexual
I personally just check the db0 megathread and torrent from there, sometimes I watch online because I cant be bothered to download tho
They can’t even eat Hot Chip? 🤯
I don’t know if this meme is fully ironic, but kind of strange to think “torrenting” is considered the OG piracy method now.
actually as a millenial i left the torrenting world when i graduated and got a job back in 2015. Now when i want to return, I realized I am old and don’t know the best places to get good torrents. I searched on one of the websites of tpb last year and nothing came up.
I am rusty and don’t have much time but i am starting to feel the bullshit by streaming companies now and i need to get back on the horse.
TBH I was in the same boat, and finally went usenet when they rised the prices for all that streaming shit across the board, once again. Took me one afternoon to figure out.
I’d like to torrent, it’s morally more piratey, as in “if I pirate already, then it should be totally free”, but the usenet experience just is so much cleaner. And now I still pay, but like 30ish € per year and have no headache anymore and basically all the streaming services at my fingertips.
iptorrents, it’s a bit of a scummy private tracker but you can donate a few bucks to get in and they have pretty much everything. It’s a good first in for private trackers. Keep in mind with private trackers, you typically need to seed whatever you download for at least 14 days.
There are quite a few apps on Linux that will let you dl music from streaming sites and keep it if you have a subscription. My personal favourite is qobuz-dl. I have pretty much all of my favourite movies still from way-back-when but usually don’t downloading new ones as 1) streamio with torrentio is so effective and 2) they don’t make 'em like they used to.
Speak for urselves lul (I dk how to seed tho)
Just let the torrent keep going after you’re done
Tried that but for some reason it doesn’t seed :3
Wtf is torrent
