Rob O :verified:- People are talking about how streaming is bad.
- There's open discussion of how to pirate media, what software there is, how to avoid detection, etc.
- The general consensus seems to be that social media is largely bad.
- South park is relevant again.
..... Did I step through a time machine?
corbeaucrypto@nerdpr0f@infosec.exchange Perhaps enshittification is a regressive force? shrug
Rob O :verified:@corbeaucrypto@infosec.exchange So, interestingly, the pirating bullet at least is "progress" for me.
Higher ed tech programs have been having a huge problem the last 5 or so years with students coming in lacking basic computer skills. I blame it on Chromebooks and social media (not needing tech skills for customization). At the same time, we're seeing a small group of students more advanced than ever... but dealing with that dichotomy is extremely challenging.
I'm kind of hoping that pirating will provide enough incentive for kids to have to learn those skills again.
corbeaucrypto@nerdpr0f@infosec.exchange Not expected but not surprised now that you share the observation. It would make sense. I understand that it’s a thing that many CompScoi students enter college without understanding things like file folder structures and such? Is that what you’re describing at some level?
Rob O :verified:@corbeaucrypto@infosec.exchange Yep, exactly. Folder structures, the installation process, and the distinction between on-device and in-a-cloud are some of the ones that come to mind.
corbeaucrypto@nerdpr0f@infosec.exchange Oh. Wow.
