For gaming tasks there’s loads of options though. If you don’t want to swap OSes you have Steam’s Proton and Codeweaver’s Crossover that do most of the complex stuff for you. For the stuff you have to deal with I’ve been able to tweak it all from GUIs instead of needing to edit a file somewhere. Gaming on Linux has come a long way, and I’ve even switched off of Windows fully I’m that confident in it. Still have to do more tweaking than Windows, but it’s no where near as bad as it was.

I wouldn’t say that data is definitive proof. The table is missing ages from 30-under 65 from the table (at least if you’re not logged in, if there is a more complete table please share). Also not sure how good some of the questions are for determining tech literacy. Knowing that Elon Musk ran both Tesla and Twitter in April 2023 is more if you keep up with the news rather than knowing how to work a computer. Other ones are good like being able to identify 2FA or knowing what LLM/AI is capable of.

Also sounds like your software architecture may be too tightly coupled. If you are creating code that consumes input from the other team, the other team should only need to know what the expected inputs and outputs are. If they’re going in and making changes to your code then you guys need to merge teams or implement a review process (like pull requests in GitHub).

Maybe? I’m not too sure what’s causing it. There’s no other symptoms and it goes away as soon as the nail polish is removed.

Spoofing the timezone is one that comes to mind. I noticed all the times on websites were off by a significant amount, and that is something that will confuse a regular user. I thought something was wrong until I remembered that LibreWolf tries to hide locale info as much as possible.

My fingertips get weirdly sweaty whenever I wear nail polish. I joke it’s my toxic masculinity leaking out, but really I just don’t want to emphasize my toe thumbs. It’s way more fun to show them when people don’t even notice them.

In my mind power users are, roughly, people who want to use technology the way they want to and are willing to deal with the headaches that come with it. For example your description of you would put you into the group of power users.

Power users tend to know what they’re doing but we all have to start from knowing nothing. Hell I’m still learning new things and I’ve been doing this shit basically my whole life.

That browser is my main driver, but it’s out of the box settings makes it a bad choice for regular users in my opinion. Although knowing the usual crowd on Lemmy a lot of power users lurk around here.
