    No, really, it was corporate social media, and also the smartphone (iphone particularly). They don’t need to know anything anymore thanks to those two. I mean even MySpace had kids learning CSS at least.

      Good, I’m glad nobody is learning these things anymore. I couldn’t care less if someone doesn’t learn HTML and CSS.

        I’m not sure what’s good about people losing the knowledge of the fundamentals of how things work

        How ironic is it to be against individual empowerment on the internet in lieu of dependency on corporate controlled outlets… on the fucking fediverse?

          We do not agree that learning these arbitrary technologies constitutes individual empowerment.

          Are you worse off because you don’t understand machine language? This has nothing to do with capitalist bullshit.

      One of my first exposures to technology was an iPod touch, and I went on to become a software engineer. Maybe it was the time? Perhaps I’ve just become older and grumpier, but technology once felt inviting to me now feels oversaturated and unnecessary. Like do we really need ChatGPT? Does it really make things better or just solve other problems that technology created?
