The TikTok ban and Donald Trump's rise to power show how fragile our social media accounts are. We must normalize and invest in decentralized social media.
I know people don’t want to hear it but can we expect non-techies to meet techies half way by leveling their tech skill tree?
In order to charge her iphone, my mom first turns on airplane mode, and THEN she powers it down. Turns it off completely. I asked why she does any of that. She says “Because they won’t flip the charge switch for me until they do! I wish I could take the battery out first, and THEN turn off the phone. But I suppose if they can’t see my battery with airplane mode on first, this is just as good.”

And you want this woman to learn terminal?
Learning is difficult but I have to believe it is still part of the solution.
Why would she ever need to use a terminal?
I imagine she’d be doing normal computer stuff, not writing bash scripts.
I swear half the criticism of Linux I see online is based on people thinking Linux has remained unchanged for the past 16 years.
I don’t even have a terminal app installed. It’s not required for anything I do on my PC.
