Federation Issues after cert renewal?

First of all, thanks for renewing the cert on this instance! I just logged on and both my Subscribed and All feeds only have posts from Beehaw. Is there an issue with federation? Thanks

Do you think millennials who grew up with the early Internet and home computers will be as bad with future technology as boomers are with current technology?
  • Yeah of course. I mean concepts as simple as a file structure. That's a big one that a lot of kids today don't understand. The idea of a hierarchy of folders to store files is alien. You can read more about it here

    From there I would say that if you understand that your browser communicates with specific servers to request and receive web pages and content you'd be ahead of curve. For most people "you need Wi-Fi to use chrome" is an adequate explanation.

    If you ask me, a lot of this core understanding is missing for younger generations because computers have become too intuitive for the user to need to understand what's going on underneath. ~20 years ago, back in the Windows XP days computers were fairly ubiquitous but UX was only starting to mature into what it is today. So you needed to learn if you wanted to do anything beyond open a program from the start menu.

    I'll say that I'm speaking from personal experience and the experience of people around me, if yours are different to mine that's cool 😃

  • I don't think so. I do think there will be a decline as we get older, but the overall level of aptitude will be higher than the generations before and after. It's the younger generations I'm worried about. Other commenters have already mentioned it, they've grown up with already well-polished UX to the point that they don't need to understand how a device works to use it. Most of us here have a high level understanding of how computers work, the app or browser you're reading this from, because we had to understand how they worked if we wanted to be able to use them when we were younger.

  • WhatsApp will allow full resolution fotos
  • WhatsApp takes so long to implement basic features that all of its competitors has that I'm convinced that its codebase is a horror show and breaks every convention there is, and every features requires a full rewrite of a core part of the service.

  • Red Dead Redemption on PS4 - DF Tech Review - It Is Improved... But Is It Enough? - YouTube
  • Such a disappointing release all around. It's good that it's not locked to old systems anymore but it could have been so much more. For me the biggest shame is that there's still no PC release. Even with a release of this quality it would at least be always playable on a PC, rather than it eventually being locked to previous gen hardware again.
