If you’re taller, always make sure there aren’t any shorter people behind you. If you’re having fun, smile, move a little, enjoy the atmosphere. You’ve got nothing to worry about and have a great time!

Your biggest worry would be the battery, they don’t like to be at 100% all the time. If the phone charging limit can be adjusted you should be good to go. But I’d watch the battery closely for any swelling.

Conveniently left out the relevant part:

However, they (they as in Gen Z) are far less (less as in compared with the Millennials) adept at understanding how to use technology to create useful solutions to their business challenges — for example, using Outlook to send e-mail, Word to prepare documents, Excel to analyze data and PowerPoint to communicate through presentations.

This, togheter with the previous paragraph which you mentioned, is talking about a direct comparison of Gen Z and Millennials and it directly states Gen Z is less tech savvy than Millennials.

This study does not say at all that tech literacy has been declining.

But it does, like multiple times, even on paragraphs you quoted.

I provide you with multiple sources explaining how tech literacy is declining, you keep saying they don’t compare. What do you think less means? What do you think declining means? It means they are comparing.

Try wasting someone else’s time lmao

Nowhere have they been compared

less equipped

Can’t do the reading for you…

This stuff has been talked about for at least 5 years. Here’s two studies that have come to the same conclusions. By The University of Toledo and the ICILS EU.

“The assumption is that because Gen Z and even millennials spend a considerable amount of time on technology that they are technology savvy,” Irish said, according to WorkLife.

“This is a huge misconception. Sadly, neither watching TikTok videos nor playing Minecraft fulfills the technology brief.”

Unfortunately, Gen Z may be less equipped for the future of technical work than we think. The key reason is that traditional education is not preparing the new generation for a digitally-driven job market. A recent study from Dell, which surveyed 15,000 Gen Z members, found that 37% of them feel that schools are not adequately preparing them for the demands of a digital world. Furthermore, 56% have received minimal to no digital skills education.

Across the nation, the basic skills of reading and comprehension have been devalued over recent years, intellectual curiosity among younger generations has grown weaker, and AI is rapidly replacing human thought.

No need to be an asshole about it. Their point about the next generation becoming less technological literate has been widely discussed and isn’t even a controversial opinion.

Here’s a few sources discussing this

OOP programming in PHP is pretty fun, keeping up with it’s deprecations and vulnerabilities is not

If we look at historic crashes, they had major catalysts causing mass sell orders. Right now markets have had time to adjust because the speed of decline has been very slow.

Markets are also largely speculative, many stocks are traded way above their fundamental value (think Microsoft, tesla, or coca-cola). These will probably be hit the hard, algorithms will default to what a stock should be and drop hard. But these companies might have the strongest chance to bounce back as well.

Companies with the strongest books will be safer, but many more risk taking companies won’t be as lucky. This is part of what due diligence of a stock will tell you, but also probably one of the hardest parts of investing.

As long as decline is slow, stability can be found. But when uncertainty rises fast, so does the unstability of the stock market. Catalysts such as the public losing confidence in banks causing a bank run, companies downsizing at unseen scales to cut costs, or global political instability are possible.

TLDR: it needs to get way worse, very quickly for the market to crash

Thanks for the source, super interesting read! I would’ve guessed 1-5% as well.

Questions in surveys like this are sometimes repeated with slight variations to get more accurate results.

You’d be surprised how caked a charge port can be, you know you’ve cleaned it correctly when the plug goes in all the way and doesn’t stick out a bit.

When it still doesn’t connect correctly and/or you feel play in de cable/chargeport, it might just need replacing.

Oh ofcourse, but there being no price difference is definitely new for dell. I needed a Windows laptop at the time, but bought the Ubuntu one because it was literally €200 cheaper.

Edit: This is CRAZY, just checked Dell website. Buying one with Ubuntu instead of W11 Home will cost you €250 MORE. That’s insane.

Huh that might be new, when I bought my XPS 13 from them in 2019 it was a 200 euro difference when buying with Windows vs Ubuntu

Floss, drink water and live active!

Crabs are peak evolution.

I never thought that either. It’s a joke, relax.

I’m not judging anyone for not knowing the risks of algorithmic news, and I get how we got there. Journalism as a whole changed by it, so many news articles are engagement bait now. It’s becoming so hard to find uplifting news, that’s why I liked reddit and now lemmy too. People make a genuine effort to find uplifting news.

Diversification has always been the answer, proven by a second uprising of RSS.

I’d add that Social Media kind of took over this role for most regular users

I agree, and that fact scares me tbh. But that’s more of a privacy concern with social media and less an adventage of RSS. Some RSS feeds do require you to click through for the full article, having another opportunity for tracking.

RSS feeds are a way to aggregate articles from many websites all in one feed. There’s no inherite privacy advantages. The main advantage is you can group many RSS feeds into your preferred categories and see a list of all the articles of your interests, without having to visit each website separately.

You can start here, a currated list of many feeds. I use Feeder on android and FreshRSS as a self-hosted curration tool but also to connect RSS feeds to services of mine.
