screenshot, probably from Ex-Twitter but I saw it on NOSTR, showing a guy saying that training a zoomer to use a PC at work is as difficult as training a boomer, with a reply indicating that there is only one generation that can rotate a PDF and that knowledge dies with us

    Xennials are fascinating to watch navigate through tech hurdles. They have a custom built toolbox built purely through trial and error.

      As an autodidact xennial, I’ll take that as a compliment.

      DOS, Windows, all the format C:'s in my time, it’s all been trial and error as you say, because there weren’t really anything on the line in the 90s and early 00s.

      So I’ve just bumbled through, tried dumb shit, reinstalled, repeat.

        Absolutely a compliment. It took me many months of research to figure out what PC parts to buy in the late '90s. Now you can easily piece something together in a day.
