A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Me today with a co-worker, discussing Kingdom Come 1. They were impressed with the game's attention to detail but one thing stood out, the save-game potion label/icon "doesn't look quite right"...
Well, it's a floppy disk!
"Huh?"
You're right, my bad, it's Total Commander smh
What's a computer?
It's like an iPad, but has to be plugged into the wall all the time. Rarely has a touch screen, so the only way to make it do stuff is with an external mouse and keyboard. Super useless.
Lmao
Gen Z/A are good at using tech, but they don't really know anything about how it works. I work in IT support and it can honestly be a tossup sometimes if the person who doesnt know how to clear their cache is a boomer or not.
It’s honestly a toss up whether sysadmins know what the fuck they’re doing. I’m working on a deal now that’s hampered by the fact that a Linux sysadmin for a huge finserv company doesn’t know how to administer a Linux system.
This is why the humanities are important: So you learn how to think about a problem and not just rely on someone writing down every goddamn keystroke for you.
if a 3 year old can use a smart phone it's not because that child is a genius it's because the phones designer was.
Oh no, does this mean Gen X are going to be the wisened graybeards that holds arcane knowledge and seemly executes feats of magic when related to technology?
Based on how often I have to explain very obvious error messages to ostensibly qualified system admins: Yes.
(Though I insist I’m the oldest millennial and not Gen x)
X and the millennials both had to deal with computers that were computers, it's the people that grew up in the smart phone/tablet era that have no idea what to do in front of an actual computer...
My litmus test is: “Have you tried Linux?”
Even if they just used a live cd for curiosity, it means they know enough about computers to grasp the concepts that make them versatile, and were exploring around the net enough to read about it.
Going to be? We already are, along with older millenials.
Yes.
I love that Gen Alpha won't even get this reference because the movie came out 30 years before they were born.
Charlie Chaplain was dead long before I was born but yet I've still seen The Great Dictator.
Not part of Gen A (I think this whole generation thing is a bit pointless anyway), but what is the movie?
Ow, my age
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Sean Connery being seen is the giveaway. Pretty sure that was the only one he was in.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (also had a decent tie-in point and click adventure game in 1989)
