I think Zoomers need a generational divide in their generation, tbh. In my experience, older Zoomers are intelligent, capable, motivated, and largely leftist. For some unknown reason though, younger Zoomers are ignorant, prudish, too easily contented, and weirdly conservative. I have yet to understand what happened to cause the divide, and I can't point to any stats or evidence to support this belief, but anecdotally I have noticed this trend within my own life and spheres of influence.

I used to know everything there was on 95 to windows 7 but things keep changing so I just stopped caring.

IM TRYING MAN

My 8 year old knows how to keyboard a little. I haven't figured out if they're gonna teach him in school or not, so I'm erring on the side of caution

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I was taught how to type without looking at the keyboard in 2nd grade. Get the ole mavis beacon out.

Whats wrong to teach them early? Teach him to play RTS! Taught my brother at 3.

in today’s edition of "why are the kids I raised so damn incompetent?"

i long for a day where people understand that it’s not the ipad kid’s fault they were given a tablet at age 2

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 month ago

It isn't their fault, but it did happen.

My daughter (5) uses WASD proficiently, so I have hope.

Absolutely. At 10yo I've tried my best to teach my kid video editing and basic computer use. A bit ago I made her network two computers using chatGPT as a guide. So freaking proud of her.

Thinking of forcing her to do something new. Does Roblox run on Linux?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Roblox? sober just began working again.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (4 children)

roblax is extremely absolutely vile, manipulative, and not a safe place for anyone let alone children. it's genuinely worse than 4chan for some time now.

Can I recommend Minecraft over Roblox?

Minecraft isn't as popular, but I was able to get my 8 year old to make TNT arrows and he thought it was a blast. (Hehehehe)

And Minecraft Java definitely works on Linux

Edit: My son claims Roblox is more popular. But that could be because I banned it at home.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Minecraft is a blast! You can buy it and then throw the awful Microsoft launcher in the trash. There areuch better bootleg launchers (i.e. don't force login). Or just get the bootleg launcher without buying the game.

I have bought the game five times on different platforms by now. I'm not buying it anymore.

My kids also had a lot of fun choosing and figuring out the plethora of mods available.
