Yeah lots of us are in to deep, but idk what us liking him as to do with anything

Older gen z here too, born in ‘99, and while I haven’t noticed the analogue thing, I’ve 100% noticed tech illiteracy in general.

Like, I’m talking about having a downloads folder full of junk because they don’t know that that’s where downloads end up. Installers left untouched after programs are installed because they’re worried that deleting the installer will delete the installed program.

Imo being raised with closed ecosystems like iPhones really stunted tech literacy for a lot of people. I grew up jailbreaking my phones and used my parent’s windows pc, so I kind of escaped it.

Hanlon’s Razor is my favorite rule for this very reason, because I’m way too quick to do this.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

I’m 50% shiny metal!

We’re werewolves not swearwolves!

My brother now storms off whenever I go to google something to show that he’s wrong.

I also saw a friend of mine’s gf straight up say the results were wrong when they googled it and she was proven wrong.

Wasn’t this just shut down…?

Idk how many people are viewing this as normal, I think most of us recognize all of this as being incredibly weird and creepy.

Tbf you can still get a phone with a headphone jack, and with a ton of space. Not that you need a crazy amount for music anyway.

Also confused about the internet connection part. Even if you only use music streaming services, most let you download your music for offline listening.

This is hardly news, Nexus has removed mods like these in the past from games like Spider-man and Skyrim. Their rules are pretty straightforward when it comes to stuff like this.
