There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.

Computer tech UX (user experience) was dumbed down to reach "everyone" (aiming at kids and giving the middle finger to anyone over 40 since the 2000s), dismissing any need for "computer literacy". Why should doctors, or the general public, learn about adblockers when they assume everything they see on screen is "just the way it is"? Computers and phones work for what they want to do and, for the most part, that's enough.
Perhaps a good analogy is cars: most people who own one have no fucking clue how it works and wouldn't be able to change the headlights alone. Is it worth learning enough about the car to understand what's going on? Depends on the person.
That’s a great point I hadn’t considered. Why would they even think to change it, that’s how it works. I wonder if I can extend that thought to other aspects of my life to see where I’m blind to that notion.
Just think about all the things you "don't care about" or that you assume to "know what matters", chances are that you're blind to several details about them. Could be just about anything, from beekeeping to law to heavy industry logistics
