I think your average geek used to be like, somewhat academic and erudite and into arcane knowledge and had some level of good faith of wanting to engage in discussion
Now it’s all frauds and absolutely braindead elon stans and crypto dipshits and conservative freaks and people who enjoy and defend watching big tech destroy everything.
There’s a difference between tech geeks and tech bros.
The tech bro is selling you NFT web 3.0 AR experiences, the tech geek might be learning Docker to self host a Lemmy instance, not because he needs to, but because it’s fun.
Both have always existed: one was selling you some horrendous domain during the .com bubble, a plot of land on Second Life or even a perfect marriage based on a secret algorithm running on his Commodore 64, the other was busy playing muds and learning how to make free calls by ringing weird tones into a public telephone.
Steve Wozniak was the tech geek
Steve Jobs was the techbro
Aaron Swartz was the tech geek That jackass sp*z is the tech bro.
:(
Exactly.
Wozniak did the real work, he was an actual computer engineer and programmer.
Jobs was literally the fucking marketing guy who made his entire career about how marketing guys ruin companies.
Yeah, he really ran Apple into the ground. You barely hear about them today. 😔
Ruined doesn’t have to mean “made not financially successful”. Like… see all of enshittification to see why that notion is ridiculous.
Found the techbro
“wealth = virtue”
I’m not saying that at all.
You guys need to calm down 😂.
