College is school. Early education teaches you skills to be a competent adult ...and so we don't have a population of mouth breathers.

I hate to burst your bubble but you have to go to trade school to learn the basics of welding, then you can grab an apprenticeship to learn how to do it professionally.

Your are very ignorant of how professional work is conducted. Companies want to higher people that know how to do their job and have years of experience doing it. Some places do have entry level or junior positions where some training is expected. But in general, you will be hired for the skills you have (not because you have 'potential' and they would love to spend months teaching you).

For welding and electric work, that is often learned through an apprenticeship, which aren't easy to land either. That's how a lot of trades work. But most jobs do not just offer apprenticeships or 'free teaching'.

Also, have you ever heard of Trade School?

EDIT: If your argument was true I would just ask to be a brain surgeon and have the surgeons explain it to me.

Or as that article mentions, it is also known as a Shit Sandwich. Mostly because we don't refer to sandwiches by the bread.

That's a large generalization. Computers were not present in early schooling for boomers. It's important to take in account when leaps in technology occured for certain generations. Computers just get faster and smaller now. It will be a bit before we see another paradigm shift similar to what occurred in the mid 90s when home computing became a norm.

With that said, I have heard of computer literacy dropping in youth despite ubibiquitous usage of social media on phones --which obviously doesn't teach you much about how computers actually work. I'm not sure what exactly to contributes to that besides that maybe we are living in a post PC world (at least outside of working professionals in the tech industry). I work in game dev with a good amount of engineers under the age of 25 that could easily school me on low level computing architecture.

It's complex.

To sum up my opinion, I don't think age as a factor alone can be used to correlate computer literacy. We are products of our environment.

I understand. I posted a comment here about the article you posted...that's what we do around here?

EDIT: Oh I see. That was the royal 'you'. I'm referring to the author.

Well that's quite unimpressive.

It's common knowledge now. This is not an unpopular opinion. There's a metric shit ton of research and studies that show all the ways social media is hurting us. There's a plethora of books written about it. It is the most current topic in New Media Theory.

Ok Dwight.

I started using sync a week and I don't believe I've seen an ad. Also, it hasn't asked me to pay to use it. Am I missing something?

I must be missing something here. The article never seems to answer the obvious question. Why exactly are you writing an article about what it would be like without red bull? Is there something wrong with winning a lot? Isn't this the nature of competition? Big companies do this everywhere in racing. Why does it matter more now with red bull?

Yes, but how is that not a legitimate explanation. There's enough Americans on lemmy to see a few posts with English title capitalization.

I have two Jabras, low and high end. I really have no complaints. I listen to music at work and switch over to calls on Teams seamlessly. Good battery capacity. "Hear Through" at the click of a button. The bass is too high but that can be easily adjusted in the companion app.

Bond lands are the best lands.

That happened.

Same. I used to play shows wasted as hell. Sometimes I wouldn't even remember playing that night. I was having fun and thought I sounded great! But truth is that I was sloppy and never really progressing my skills.

Absolutely. I gave up drinking 2 years as well. I'm a better artist, musician, employee, husband, and father. Alcohol just sucks.

Car enthusiast is bit of a loaded term, no? Car enthusiasts are people who restore and collect beautiful cars. Most people have a car (in the US) because our cities were unfortunately designed for cars. I don't think anyone loves owning, needing, paying insurance on, maintaining, and driving in traffic. This is the life we are forced to deal with until we stop building cities in stupid ways that disincentivise pedestrianism.

Are there really car enthusiasts out there that like commuting?

Whoa. That should not be on by default. I'm all for experimental UI but I doubt many users will know what's happening with their volume. Apps should not be remapping hardware buttons in unfamiliar ways.
