**update**: If you are using this post as some kind of call-to-action to harass and attack the GOS developers, please don't.

That damages everyone. You, them, and myself. It's not helpful.

**Update two**. I have made the decision to pull this post. It is not a good starting-point for a discussion, and just encourages defensiveness on both sides – when there really aren't sides here at all.

As a FOSS contributor, I am deeply ashamed at the way I approached this out of frustration.

“There is a myth that kids were born into an information age, and that this all comes intuitively to them,” said #SarahDexter, an associate professor of #education at the University of Virginia. “But that is not realistic. How would they know how to scan something if they’ve never been #taught how to do it?””

ok… (learn perhaps? RTFM?) 🥲

“But #desktop #computing is decidedly less intuitive. Things like files, folders, scanning, printing, and using external hardware are hallmarks of office life. Do they know what #button to press to turn on a bulky computer monitor, when many simply close their personal laptops when they’re done with them? (No, says one Reddit user who works in #IT and has resorted to putting a sign over the power button on work computers.)”

Turned it OFF and On again? 🤣

There's a price to growing up with sophisticated tech, apparently, as #GenZ is overwhelmed by 'tech shame' at work, more than #boomers.

While 1 in 5 young office workers report feeling judged for having tech issues, only 1 in 25 of their older coworkers feel the same way, according to HP.

I'm learning the ins-and-outs of CSS grid (that I find more useful than flexbox), at https://cssgrid.io/

Better than my `display: table`, `display: table-cell` hack.

Don't #techshame me.
