Can't blame a generation that wasn't raised on computers as well as you can't blame a generation that was raised by algothrims. I'm a millennial too, one of the older ones, and I have felt my tech literacy decay over the past ten years as the cancer that is silicon valley has spread and dominated the internet. It is to the point that I feel so trapped when I try to do anything online that becoming passive feels like the only choice if you play their game.
I have the benefit of remembering what the internet used to be like and what it still has the potential to be in the future, but the youths of today never experienced that. To them the internet is a feeding machine that encourages nay grooms them into becoming passive consumers. I can't blame someone who literally never got the chance to learn because some tech bro scumbags in America decided that they should abuse their power to turn people into addicts.
Shit, I'm millennial software developer who self hosts software as a hobby and I feel tech literacy decay.
I don't understand how Microsoft office handles it's saves, so I don't want to save shit in the cloud. I don't want an app for my toaster. I don't understand how cool things like YouTube revanced and other "app mods" work, and I can barely grasp what "debrid" streams are. A zoomer manages the discord server we started years and years ago, because none of the millennials know how to work the bots. I self host one of the bots, but I don't know shit about using it lmao.
Poorly. But that's because of One Drive. You can disable and uninstall it though.
YT revanced isn't an "app mod", its a completely separate program which just shows YouTube content. Kinda like how Lemmy sometimes shows reddit or Twitter content.
That's straight up untrue. Your claim is so confidently stated and yet so wrong I'm wondering whether a LLM wrote it. To install YT revanced you literally gotta pick an original YouTube apk file for the revanced manager to patch, and then select which mods you wanna apply to it. It really is an "app mod." Sure, you might end up with two YT apps in your app drawer if you haven't disabled or uninstalled the stock one, but fundamentally they're just two copies of the same app but one's modded.
Wtf are you even talking about??? Revanced pulls directly from YouTube's site, it's not like the content is copied over or externally linked???
