You know technology literacy is dying because I saw this meme with 76k likes
F11 the full screen button? You’re scared of the full screen button? F10?? It opens the menu bar???
Computers are so scary what if I accidentally hit F12 in a steam game and it takes a screenshot. What if I press shift + F12 while in word and accidentally save my document 😖
If you had to learn what the F keys on your computer do through me reblogging this post, then I'm glad you did. Computer literacy is not a skill that gets taught anymore, and it is absolutely one that needs to be taught in order to be learned. Don't ever feel bad for not knowing something, but ☝️ don't ever stop learning learning about your environment, the tools you use, and especially the people around you
Never stop learning+ Never stop sharing what you learned
the persecution of lefthandedness is insane to think about because it was so intense for so long, in some places still is, without any clear profit motivation. sheer love of the game. as late as the 70s at least they were smacking my stepdad's hands for it with a wooden ruler at school, to this day he's in weird ambidexterity situation where he's not great with either side and notably clumsy due to poor hand-eye coordination. just wtf
It is fascinating to me that people also think of handedness as an example of bigotry that just...went away. As you note, it...hasn't in some places. I know people who grew up in the mid-late 90s who still had this problem.
But also, and this is really important to keep in mind regarding bigotry that still causes in many ways larger problems, that the structural problems are not actually fixed.
If you go to any computer lab or public library, the mice will be on the right side of the computer. Sometimes they can be moved. Sometimes they can't. Many computer mice are curved to only fit in right hands.
It is impossible to find lefthanded scissors without going to a specialty store, because most scissor makers don't even make them. And it's not just a matter of grip; the slicing side of the blades is obscured if you use righty scissors in your left hand, so your cut is off.
All those signing pads with the little chained styluses? Almost always on the right side, often not even long enough to stretch to the left. Makes signing for lefties extremely difficult.
I caused actual muscular problems in college having to twist around in order to write at right-handed desks in college when there weren't enough lefty desks--and there never were. Some classrooms didn't even have a single one.
I could go on.
But the point is, bigotry isn't just a mindset shift. People can't just decide they're not bothered by that particular difference anymore and everything's fine, because society is still structured and designed to cause problems for marginalized people. And they're never even going to notice all the little ways their life is bent to convenience them that inconveniences others.
i ❤ fact checking bold unsourced claims
I like how looking for this post on your blog makes it look like you spent 3 hours checking whether or not apples are a type of fruit
in less than three years we will have adults born in the 2000’s
the funny thing about this is that both people born in the 2000s are reblogging this freaking out because they arent ready to be adults and people who were born before the 2000s are freaking out about how they feel old and that it cant be happening because all people born in the 2000s are like 4
in less than two years we will have adults born in the 2010’s
I'm learning after buying a gen 2 prius (a strange machine built like a gaming console, kind of the DSi of cars) that most of the issues I'm running into with this vehicle are not what I would consider to be car guy problems; they are instead computer guy problems.
oh, the 12v battery is dead? great news, it can run on a fucking mobility scooter battery, dw about it!
speakers blown out? I can fix that easy, and I'll even install an iPod integration setup while I'm at it. the touchscreen doesn't always work on one side? well. that's what happens when a touchscreen from 2008 sits in the sun too long. works fine if I remember the sun shield.
and the dashboard lights don't turn on sometimes? well. I can use the buttons and knobs to enter like seven different cheat codes that might turn them on, but tbh the car still runs fine even without knowing how much gas I have or what speed I'm going. I'll just fill up often and use my phone's GPS as a speedometer until I have some downtime, and then the prius discussion forums have posts on how to solder the circuit board so it works again.
oh whoops the car won't always turn off so I have to hold down the button until it shuts down did I buy a car or did I buy a laptop? don't ask me how to deal with actual car problems; I'm too busy holding down the DISPLAY button while switching the lights on and off so I can access the secret service menu.
ridiculous vehicle. glad I talked the guy down in price because it's also mildly a nightmare. but. but. I am having fun!
the car's latest problem, "overheating because fan dirty", is not helping it beat the laptop allegations
they really don't make Bigass Cabinet For Computer anymore. we were at the used furniture warehouse the other day & they had so many. that's the way things should be. lock away that wretched machine when you're done looking at it
Lock That Fucking Thang Up
