Interstellar_1That’s a sneaky one.
KusimulkkuYou’re probably sarcastic but
paste this random line in the terminal and run it
sneaky
Hmm
It opens the run dialog, which I’m sure the vast majority of Windows users have never heard of. This would trick a lot of people who just trust whatever their computer asks them to do.
It’s not sneaky, it’s just people are morons and fall for the simplest shit
@Kusimulkku @rhombus there's no reason to be so mean. There's a lot of smart people who have never heard of the run dialog because why would they? This trick is frighteningly good, in fact.

Yeah, you wanted to say there are a ton of people that are using a highly potent tool, without even understanding the basic handling of it.
Put differently, would you take your kid on a duo-flight on an armed jet, and let them take control and press random buttons?
Oops, that was half of your hometown.
Seriously, most PCs are not "armed", but still, you can do harm if you do not know what you are doing, in general.

And report after report comes out, that with perhaps the exception to 1-2 generations, most people are IT illiterate.

BTW, we solved the mystery why my daughter uses regularly exceeding 100GB on her mobile.
Actually I wanted to show her how she can scan something on our scanner in the home office herself.
So I let her install the Mopria scan app.
Hmmm, no scanner there. I told her you have to turn on Wi-Fi. Funny, the neighbour's scanner showed up in WIFI-Direct. That was the moment I got my hands on her mobile (a seldom granted privilege). She literally hadn't added our WLAN. 🤷
u/lukmly013 💾 (lemmy.sdf.org)Not everyone knows everything. Actually, nobody does.
Computers simply became an easily available necessity, thus you get a lot of computer-illiterate people using computers.
Perhaps it would’ve been fairer to say that they’re morons when it comes to computers
Fairer to call at least 80% of people morons because they don’t know one specific computer feature that is mainly used just by IT people?
Seems like the only moron here is you.
Of course it’s fairer. Before it meant that they’re all around idiots. Now it just says they’re idiots when it comes to computers.
Seems like the only moron here is you.
Not when it comes to computers but in some other things for sure
Not morons, just not educated enough about them to understand exactly what the implications of that action are.
You’ve got to remember that these are just simple computer users. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West.
ZaemzWas that a Blazing Saddles quote?
Kinda like you when it comes to social interaction?
Oh snap!
Are you by chance running Arch btw?
Hah, I used to
JackbyDevPlease show some empathy for those who are not as tech literate as you are. Elitism doesn’t look good on you, friend.
I’m not very concerned about looks
