zoomers’ disadvantage is that they didn’t spend their entire youth solving computer problems for narcissistic old people who feign ignorance and catastrophize the complexity of computer touching as a means of sheltering their egos from injury. like those kids who have a million allergies because they never rolled around in the dirt nothing to look down on there at all. something to celebrate, really

Ape Fist posted:I don't think they should, I think UX design is a really important field, and it has made the internet accessible to hundreds, perhaps billions of really stupid people. If the internet was "much harder to use these days" it would continue to be populated by obtuse vBulletin Forums and Imageboards and search engines which required metatags in the html to index. harder in the sense that a couple decades of ux practitioners have created a web wherein everything is a scam. hth

juggalo baby coffin posted:online scams are actually world leading in UX design because they have to be accessible to the dumbest possible people, so modern internet UX has actually been reverse engineered from scammer technology

XYZAB posted:i want to use metacrawler again. i think having an actually useful and efficient search engine again that can find whatever stupid bullshit you’re looking for instantly without being a shell to serve ad links alone would be revolutionary. there’s kagi, but you gotta pay for it

Earwicker posted:i strongly suspect that a much larger percentage of boomers know how to fix cars than millenials. but most millenials still drive cars, and are surrounded by cars all the time. nah, you put ‘em in front of any model later than the year 2000 and they start sweating and swearing about how everything new is garbage made by communists. not like the good ol days

it’s a real “if you give a mouse a cookie” scenario, except it’s “if you give a boomer a reason to complain and pollute”

NoiseAnnoys posted:the easiest marks are people who think they are too smart to scam so no wonder boomers, zoomers, and goons of all ages fall victim to the easiest grifts. how many years did goons spend subsidizing lowtax’s cookie habit?

Impossibly Perfect Sphere posted:I always hear people talk about how everyone should know how to change their own brakes, it's so easy and cheap! All you need is to watch a few Youtube videos, a lugnut wrench, socket set, clamps, torque wrench, ramps or a jack and jack stands and then you too can have the pleasure of crawling around under your car for two hours trying to figure out how to change the most important piece of safety equipment on your car. gotta own a driveway to do all that in too

jokes posted:Why do boomers hate turn signals and seatbelts so much? Every time a boomer drives me places the car is yelling at them "PUT ON YOUR SEATBELT" and they just sit there, blissfully ignoring it while everyone in the car is seething. punching up is always cool. as is ragging on boomers, because they’re terrible

jokes posted:uh made millenials loving rad? without computers, millenials wouldnt have any money, and boomers would never have been able to easily prove how dumb they are to the entire world. zoomers are going to be hosed if they have to try and maintain computer systems on their own because millenials were barely able to keep 90s poo poo running seems like you may have early stage boomeritis, friend. might want to go get that checked out before it gets worse
