    and this is why i believe that having “user accessible” UI is actually bad, now im not saying every computer needs to use punch cards. I’m just saying that we need to establish some sort of standard for competence here. Linux is a really good example here.

      Maybe it doesn’t matter if someone is tech savvy. There was a time when we really valued the ability to fix your own car.

        Yeah, that time is even moreso now because cars are far more complex and expensive as fuck now. Just the HVAC system alone on a modern luxury car probably has more components than the entirety of my old 1972 MG. You can bet your ass my friends find it very valuable when I can quickly fix stuff on their cars a dealership wanted to charge $1200 for.

        i think it does though, tech literacy is a huge boon to personal productivity, and work productivity. There is almost no scenario in which being somewhat tech literate isn’t good for you, i think it’s more like written language.
