linuxmemes

In my 2022 highschool journalism class we were instructed to take pictures from a professional camera, plug it into laptop, and make slides from the images.

First step was fine for everyone, but later I saw a 17 year old plug the camera to the laptop; and then they tried downloading their picture from google chrome.

No disrespect, I have my dumb moments too, but I genuienly wonder what the logic was sometimes.

I imagine the average non-tech person does not even know what "open source" means, let alone able to name anything that is open source.

I used to think everyone at least knew VLC media player or Firefox, but nope.

Now I first ask which field, if they're CS they know linux, if art, they know blender, if geosciences they know QGIS, anything else is hard

I study proteins and I chatter on about them, but once in a rare while I'll talk to a normal person and they'll say "like, the food group" or in introductions I'll say I'm a structural biologist and some people look at me blankly then say something about "bone structure". It kills me a little inside.

I would say software people are actually too accommodating.

Take a look around at what being too accommodating did to the web.

I think that if you are in this meme, you're either wrong and thinking too highly of yourself, or you need to touch grass there's no way a normal person actually acts that way

I bring this up at my job all the time. I work as a software tester, and I'm constantly reminding our BA that most customers aren't smart enough to "just know not to do that"
