Boomer don't know how to do shit 'cause computers were so rare. Zoomers don't know how to do shit 'cause big companies profit from people who can't help themselves and have low standards.

There was only a small timeframe where computers were available, accessible yet not enshittificated for profit like today.

crazy thing is that they were being enshittified even back then. we just couldn't identify it back then as easily as we do now

Oh yes, Microsoft got to be literally the richest company on earth and Bill gates the richest guy on earth for decades by not "enshitifying" computers. You got it, boss!

that wasn't enshittification.. that was just marketshare

[-] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

That's literally the same, people complain about "enshitifying" because things were free/cheaper/ad-free before.
