as a high schooler with a special interest in computers, it's genuinely surprising how poor most of my peers computers skills are. most of my peers don't even know the very basics of folder structures.

also unrelated, let's all love lain

special interest

poor skill of peers

(I'm totally with you though)

lol I love that xkcd, but yes it absolutely applies

I could swear there was a wildly similar version of this particular comic that was even more on point with reference to assembly call codes.

[–] mizuki@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago

there is, I tried to find it but I can't seem to. there's lots of versions of it for different interests, I love xkcd

Twenty years ago when I was 13, I started doing web stuff. This was back when everything was super simple, so everything to get a webserver up was super manual. I'll mention port forwarding at my current job and there's this slice of people that are 28-40 years old that know what I'm talking about.

I'm slightly younger than that even, currently finishing up my master's but have been working as a backend dev for a couple of years.

I've learned an order of magnitude more about networking from just being in the vicinity of my girlfriend (who is a network technician) than from uni, and it's definitely already paying off.

I love doing homelab stuff! it seems like at my school either you don't know what a port is, or you actively maintain 3 web servers (the latter being the significant minority, with a total of like 3 of us)

fair. Thank you for the correction ILikeBoobies

Don't both Windows and MacOS call it folders, and Linux calls it directories?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Directories predate them however per Windows a directory is a type of folder that points to a location on the file system - a list of network printers are a folder but not a directory

I just watched lain some weeks ago without knowing what I have let me into 😂 got pretty confused, but I think in the end I got it. Probably..

[–] mizuki@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

that's basically how I felt after as well, it's such a confusing but interesting series. I want to rewatch it though after really starting to grasp it, it's such intriguing show

When I spent a few years teaching in the local school, one thing I taught was a class on Design and 3D printing. The VERY first thing I always had to teach was "how to use a mouse" before I could even begin to start teaching CAD modeling.

I swear, smart phones and touch screens are a curse and pox on humanity.
