@littletranspunk @empathicqubit And personally I do act as benevolent dictator by forcibly migrating #TechIlliterates...

@mikoto yeah...

The website is so bloated that I'm considering just to use #YoutubeDLP and go from there...

Alternative Clients like #NewPipe on #Android do solve most issues but ain't got time to teach #TechIlliterates how to use #Anbox...
https://f-droid.org/packages/org.schabi.newpipe/

@chirpbirb And that's why I install distros like @ubuntu #UbuntuLTS:

#Normies don't care about the #OS,

All they care about is how to #consoom #SocialMedia and maybe sending an #eMail or printing a letter..

And that's why I act as #BenevolentDictator and forcibly migrate #TechIlliterates to it!

---

Funfact: I never had to manually build packages or compile anything myself in 10 years...

@toby not really.

I migrate #TechIlliterates all the time to #UbuntuLTS /
@ubuntu because at the end of the day, NO #TechIlliterate cares about what OS / Distro / ... they use.

All they want is being able to #consoom social media, maybe write and print a letter and check their eMails.

They don't care if they have #Windows, #Ubuntu, @bunsenlabs or #PorteusKiosk at their disposal, as long as they can click and type and get shit done...

@voltrina because they are #TechIlliterates?

Feel free to add some more with an issue or pull request.

@thomholwerda because most are #TechIlliterates that know jack shite...

@SwiftOnSecurity So it's not as if someone's being lazy if they only commit a 4 line fix for a bug and that't their whole week's output, but that most of their work was reading documentation, replicating and bisecting the bug as well as looming for a solution that doesn't break shit elsewhere.

And that's hard if impossible to explain to #TechIlliterates that don't code...

@JustinLachance as #IT #Sysadmin I am contractually obligated to stay up to date and my job literally is to be the #BenevolentDictator in terms of #tech and what #TechStack is being used.

I forcibly migrate #TechIlliterates to @ubuntu #UbuntuLTS because I don't get paid enough to deal with shit like #Windows.

And those that need some proprietary #CCSS get a machine with #macOS or a #VNC / #RDP session to a #MacMini or #MacPro that has been rackmounted.

@JustinLachance I mean you literally get people who whine about #Microsoft's shitty #DarkPattern and how they force people to make a value-removing account with them but apparently #TechIlliterates rather accept more and harder abuse than even trying out something that doesn't trample their #HumanRights instead.

It looks like #StockholmSyndrome to me...

@chibijon @thisdoesnotcomp *nodds in agreement*

Also most people - espechally #TechIlliterates and big companies - are doing more #Cloud-based #SaaS than ever and basically turn everything into a #ThinClient.

Most people would have their average computing experience even if they were forced to daily-drive #Porteus #Kiosk "Cloud"...
https://porteus-kiosk.org/cloud.html

#WhatsMissing: A "#Tour" program for @ubuntu [or any #Linux #Distro] that explains absolute #TechIlliterates how to use stuff...

Like #WindowsXP did back in the day...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U3sP-KbrGk

@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...

@autonomysolidarity

1. Alle #Datenträger vollverschlüsseln!
2. Keine #Backdoor|ed #Govware nutzen [#Windows, #macOS].
3. Alle #Kommunikation korrekt Ende-zu-Ende verschlüsseln [PGP/MIME für #eMail & #XMPP - #OMEMO für #Chats]
4. Sichere Passwürter nutzen!
5. Passwordmanager nutzen um sichere Passwörter zu sichern!

Das ist so simpel dass ich das bei diversen #TechIlliterates deployed hab mit 5-15min Einarbeitung der User*innen.

But back to #AntiRepair:

Seriously, which gulible #TechIlliterates buy such shitty devices at MSRP?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcKCKDFWDyo

@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...

#TorGuard and #CloudFlare are good indicators of everything that's wrong with #ITsec:

Mainly that the business model is full of #ValueRemoving #Rentseekers that sell #DigitalSnakeoil that'll only impress #TechIlliterates that have no idea what they talk about...

But don't take my word for it:

@ivy Damn, the #Enshittification of #CS classes has gone faster than I thought.

That's even worse than the #ECDL aka. "#MicrosoftWindows & #microsoftOffice Indoctination"...

People are literally being groomed into being #Consoomer|s and blissfully ignorant #TechIlliterates!

And that's bad!

Cuz I've already seen people graduating high school with university eligibility 6 years after me and not knowin how to use a mouse or even keyboard!

@ivy Yeah, like these #TechIlliterate #boomers are so bad, they'd rather believe in ghosts than that their touchscreen is filthy and that they got some malware on their 5+ year old smartphone they never updated even once.

It's just upsetting because it's not as if they're some random strangers that don't know who you are or what you work and/or study...

Shit like this is why I forcibly migrate #TechIlliterates to #Ubuntu #LTS #Linux cuz I don't have time for bs.

@iatendril @Seirdy @neurovagrant @signalapp @vamanimal @itzzenxx

Technically even worse, because #Signal is doing #SecurityTheater designed to lure in #TechIlliterates that don't know better...

It's insulting the intellect of everyone!
https://youtu.be/-LDzOi1dyAA?si=z7i_cqBoT6JnzKTK&t=85

Whereas one can at least anonymously use a payphone!

https://mstdn.social/@kkarhan/110776852586195516

@Seirdy @neurovagrant just use #XMPP over #Tor then...
Also it's not done with "Just use Signal" because #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec & #ComSec are all interlinked.

#Signal is for gullible #TechIlliterates that are too lazy to learn despite being #TechLiterate is part of their job.

Assholes like #GlennGreenwald for example...

Signal will inevitably crash down like #EncroChat and #ANØM before...
