@AeonCypher Maybe, All I know is that most #Consoomers are #TechIlliterates that can't be bothered to even making basic decisions!

@tante that is intentional!

• Because the #TechBros want #illiterate "#Consoomers" and hate confident people.

That's why they are transmisogynist and racist POSes: They don't accept or even tolerate people who are more intelligent, more confident or just flatout better than them!

• And a #Broligarchy needs to make themselves look like "wizards" to justify their weaponization of #tech, #sexism and #patriarchy as pillars for their thrones.

They don't want people to be able to #DIY or #repair or have any #knowledge, but to take the #Enshittification as "law of nature" and being dependant on an "Oracle" as a fact of life.

• They fear people who are able to evidence that "a different world is possible" and that's why they push for #CyberFacism and #PoliceState hard, wanting to kill #SolarPunk as they want to rule a #CyberPunk #dystopia that is closer to the world of #GString than #Cyberpunk2077!

@wolf480pl @cas it's easy...

The reasons one can despise something and the reason one appreciates it can be different.

I.e. I can appreciate #macOS for it's #accessibility right from the #installer but I can #despise it for #Apple not selling it as a commercial #Unix distro for a #subscription

Same with #bash: I can appreciate it for being better than #sh (unix-#shell) , #tcsh or #csh but I despise it for not having modernized like #fish.

• And with fish I appreciate it but I despise it's not the default #shell for any #Linux distro I can use in #production.

It's called having "mixed feelings" or rather #NuancedOpinion.

• Kinda like how every #skiddie and #TechIlliterate can use #Windows but that Windows is shit and the only reason they can is because they got groomed into being #consoomers that accept #enshittification as a fact of life.

@stevenaleach @hannah The problem is that #Microsoft pays the big #OEM|s $25 per preinstall and #TechIlliterate #Consoomers and #Normies don't know better...

• It's the same with #Adobe #Acrobat: EVERY SINGLE #PDF READER IS BETTER - INCLUDING pdf.js on #InternetExplorer!

@lordsplodge @nixCraft @Daojoan that's because the #Internet became #accessible for #TechIlliterates & #MediaIlliterates and #Consoomers who are either unable or unwilling to use their brains.

• It was a mistake to let #Boomers and #MassMedia be allowed online!

#sarcasm #rant #TechLiteracy #MediaLiteracy

@fuchsiii @puppygirlhornypost2 @kopper granted, #TechIlliterates & #Consoomers are just a bad standard to begin with and aligning with the bottom barrel is always gonna lower one's standard.

People need to realize there's not one perfect app.

• They can have multiple very good options that do their part or one shitty bloatware that does nothing even halfway acceptable.

The former are #IRC, #XMPP+#OMEMO, #WebCall, #OnionShare, #Linphome, #Mumble, …

The latter one are #MicrosoftTeams, #Discrord, #QQ, #WeChat, #iMessage, #Signal, #Matrix, …

#ChooseWisely

@tauon Actually, you want to use a truly secure as in real #E2EE solution like #XMPP+#OMEMO as in @monocles / #monoclesChat and @gajim /#gajim...

• And for those "#TechIlliterate #Normies / #Consoomers" that are too scared to #degoogle or even use @fdroidorg they have a #GlobalSwitchDay #promo right now:https://monocles.social/@monocles/113925173206088469

@ColetteDiskette I guess they are just "#consoomers' that want to he abused by the next billionaire to #enshittify their for-profit #AntisocialNetwork...

• Didn't #tumblr and #tsutter hurt them enough?

@emilymbender personally, I hat the fact that #Enshittification in #education went so far s to groom children into being #consoomers and unpaid "#InofficialEmployees" to #GAFAMs and thus #NSAbook!

@ravirockks not only are companies refusing to hire folks, the entire chain from #ElementarySchool to #University refuses to teach proper #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec & #ComSec and rather "grooms" people into being "stupid #consoomers"!

@sleepybisexual They also get sold to #TechIlliterate #Consoomers as a #grift...

Thanks to #HughJeffreys for showing the #Enshittifcation of #Tech through #PlannedObsolescence aka. #ReducedLifecycle in a #TechIlliterate-friendly way.

We need to radicalize the #Consoomers and #Normies so they refuse to buy trash tech!

@littletranspunk @empathicqubit EXACTLY THAT is the problem:

People.didn't get taucht #TechLiteracy but groomed into #consoomers!

@JustinLachance but since that requires politicans to actually have a spine and ve principled, it's up to the individual to act accordingly and boycott them just like one would boycott a North Korean (regine controlled!) Restaurant or some shitty ultra - "fast fashion" label that manages to run sweatshops so inhumane that they manage to break labour regulations in Bangladesh & "P.R." China...

It's just that most people are #TechIlliterate #Consoomers that literally give 0 f**ks even confronted!

@julia IDK but I consider it a threat amidst the way people nowadays get groomed into becoming #TechIlliterate #Consoomers...

@natsume_shokogami maybe because people got groomed into being #consoomers and #users instead of learning tech?

Because only #TechIlliterates embrace #GAFAM-made #SaaS since they don't understand the implications of the #Enshittification they support with their wallet?

That's just my theory...

@RandomHost tjese people are #consoomers that have been groomed into #TechIlliteracy, #ignorance and being general assholes thanks to #microtargeting...

@roywig @thatandromeda @leak it is "good enough", cuz we ain't 15 years ago where eberything needed archaic commands.

#Thunderbird integrates #OpenPGP / #GnuPG out of the box for some time.
#Gaijim & #MonoclesChat do support #XMPP - #OMEMO and #PasswordManagers like #Enpass are so easy, it literally took me 5 minutes to explain the use and setup a complete #Noob in it.

People aren't stupid, they are lazy and get groomed into being #TechIlliterate #Consoomers...

That is the problem!

@thatandromeda @leak did so.

The problem isn't #Cryptography, but the fact that #TechIlliterates are allowed to use #tech and that leads to the digital equivalent of 12 year olds driving gasoline tankers with neither license nor permit nor experience.

#Malware would not be the widespread issue it is today if we didn't allow the #GAFAMs to groom people into #TechIlliterate #Consoomers!

The problem are people being ignorant and openly hostile to the obvious issues...
