@hazel@shrimp.starlightnet.work it also doesn't help that kids' main sources of tech use (phones, tablets, Chromebooks, game consoles) deliberately abstract away the filesystem and lock everything down into walled gardens. But also, remember, a lot of adults are just as tech illiterate, too. A 2016 report by the OECD had 4.7% of adults who reported prior computer usage who couldn't do tasks such as use a mouse or scroll on a web page to take the computer based assessment. Tech skills have to be learned, and if the adults in a kid's life don't have them, their only hope is to be curious enough to seek help online.

@hazel@shrimp.starlightnet.work if the patch is ass, you teach people. the patch being ass is broadly not a function of age so this makes no sense (the argument that we should ban minors from tech spaces)
