    Fun. I didn’t grow up issuing a Mac, not did I grow up using Windows… Nor Linux.

    When I started on computers, we used DOS.

    I’m old.

    I’m not old enough to remember punch cards, I was solidly in the x86 generation, but still.

    For the record, I do IT support now. I’m the one that helps you with your printer.

    back in the 80’s, whole rooms of Apple Computers sat empty, all day, everyday. At all the different schools i went to as a child.

    I assume it’s because none of the teachers wanted to learn them, it was real fucking shitty growing up surrounded by so many stupid fucks.

    but now, soon, AI will be x1000000000⁷ better teachers. So at least the children will have an actual chance in this world, and so many of them won’t choose liberal arts as their course of studies. -all that time they were just disciplining the children

    Can we stop throwing around “autistic” for anything? Have people actually ever met autistic kids? It as nothing to do about having uncommon interest, it imply much more things then that.

    I started on Commodore (Vic20 that I don’t remember much, C64, and A500) mostly with a tiny bit of Atari and then was on Windows at home for decades (I tried installing Linux (Mandrake and Redhat) back when it fit on a floppy, but without a lot of success). I guess I’m too old and not neurotypical enough?

    The thing with Macs is you don’t have to spend 80% of your time troubleshooting them. I love my Mac and OS X. I boot it up, log in, and don’t have to think about it. The UI is very intuitive and easy to use as well.

    my favorite pornotrope is how people still swear by the belief that apple computers suffer no “malware”, because why are androids apparently so promiscuous like any black person wants to spoof torvalds’ github username

    do androids sleep with promiscuous scapegoats?

    I’m curious what her hypothesis is, I don’t think there is a correlation at all personally, seen a ton of people who know nothing about their computers regardless of Mac/Windows as their primary os.

    Run a second correlation on the incomes of these families and the tech literacy of their children and see what you find. I have a hypothesis.

    I grew up on Mac and only switched to Windows when I was 30. lol

    I still wonder what Linux is like… It’s probably cool.
