Yeah I’d agree its probably over assumed here more than other places, but it’s definitely not uncommon in other online spaces… I find it hard to believe it’s something you’ve never seen before unless the only other space you’ve been is Instagram or tumblr and only following food posts or similar…
FTFY:
The assumption of tech savvy around here is wild! Never been in another online space where [all the] people [there] assume everyone is at a reasonable tech level.
You get me. I meant it’s worse here than other places. Same for assuming political savvy. Believe it or not, there are shitloads of Americans who don’t know about 1/1000th of Trump’ crimes. “Oh I don’t listen, politics is all bullshit.”
Commented on Trump’s dementia to a friend the other day, “Yeah, but wasn’t Biden pretty bad too?” That’s where the “man on the street” is at. :(
DuckDuckGo
You are foolish for not using that by now.
And yes, DDG is Bing results, we know.
It’s a mix of indexes, Bing has been a minority share for years now.

Maybe “naïve” or “ill informed”. “Foolish” is pretty harsh.
Foolish is accurate.
Anyone supporting Google, Meta, Musk, Anthropic, Amazon, etc are fools.

You’ve never been on the internet before lemmy?
:) Since the 90s! But nowhere, and I do mean nowhere, is as snotty and assumptive about the man-on-the-street’s tech savvy.

The ‘you’ in the comment from the top of this thread is addressing the average lemmy user, the man on the street being a fool is nearly a given 😅
I prefer Qwant. Better results, especially when searching in other languages than English.
Except the results suck, and the results are the entire purpose
