Tech folk complaining that kids don't understand computers after spending decades building completely opaque silos for big tech is just a stunning lack of self awareness.

@deech TBH, just a small fraction works for those silos. OTOH, if they didn't teach their kids 'proper' computing (don't ask me for better words, I haven't finished my first coffee), yeah, self awareness.

@deech Plus making computing "education" so infantile that the most kids can see right through it and want nothing to do with it.

@deech if even mastodon is declared by many to be "too complicated" then the level of expectation for "simplicity" is rather baffling.

@deech See also parents in tech who just hand their kids a ipad and don't help them build a computer instead.

@deech

alternatively, perhaps they're gloating rather than complaining.
