The indoctrination of windows is extreme. Windows is just as hard as linux, harder even with all the layers of obscurity.

And yet… linux is hard, and users decry RTFM as “not growing the userbase”

    It’s not just reading, people don’t want to mentally engage with things. There are people who would rather read movie reviews than go watch a movie and form their own opinion on it.

    Engaging with material will always require something of the audience. We can try to make things as accessible and easy to understand as possible, but that doesn’t “solve” the problem, it just lowers the bar. Lowering the bar isn’t bad, but it seems like the wrong strategy for the current era. I think a better strategy is attempting to foster and enthusiastic community at a local level. Get together with friends on the weekends and mess around with stuff in person, talk about it.

      That’s where we’re at now with social media. Things are super accessible, but shallow and often based on pure emotional appeal.

      Every moment of our lives is filled with stimulation.

      Every moment we aren’t forced to focus we disassociate to recover from the constant never ending focus.

      We are Great Apes, huge fucking mammals, how do other huge apes spend their time? Literally napping and eating for most of the day. If you forced a fucking gorilla to work a 9-5 they would get zoochosis and all their hair would fall out and they would get depressed and die.

      Our bodies and minds aren’t evolved enough to handle this rapidly complicating society, it’s stressing us out to the point where we lash out at each other and burn out.

      Our society is to blame for all of the malbehavors.
