  1. The agonizing slow death of the power user

    This is a fascinating article to read. The facts are nailed to the wall in clear and easy to comprehend jargon, even for the non-grey beards

    Some quotes

    Ask a twenty-two-year-old to connect to a remote server via SSH. Ask them to explain what DNS is at a conceptual level. Ask them to tell you the difference between their router’s public IP and the local IP of their laptop. Ask them to open a terminal and list the contents of a directory. These are not advanced topics. Twenty years ago these were things you learned in the first week of any serious engagement with computers. Today they’re exotic knowledge that even a lot of working software developers don’t have, because you can go a long way in modern development without ever leaving the managed abstractions your platform provides.

    And that’s the real damage. It’s not just end users who don’t know this stuff. It’s developers. People who write software for a living who’ve never had to think about what happens between their API call and the response. Who’ve never had to debug something at the network layer. Who’ve never had to read a full stack trace and understand every frame of it. Because the frameworks handle all of that, and the frameworks are good enough, and figuring out how things actually work is optional.

    iOS set the template. Apple shipped a device in 2007 that was, by any reasonable technical measure, a computer. It had a CPU, RAM, persistent storage, a network stack, and a real operating system descended from BSD Unix. By every cultural and legal measure, however, Apple treated it as something else entirely: an appliance that you licensed rather than owned, that ran software only Apple approved, that couldn’t be meaningfully modified, and that communicated only through channels Apple controlled. No filesystem access. No inter-app communication beyond what Apple chose to expose. No background processes without explicit, limited, grudging permission. No ability to install software from any source other than the App Store — which Apple created, controls, taxes at thirty percent, and can pull your app from at any time for any reason with no meaningful appeals process.

    Some facts

    Power User

    A power user is a user of computers, software and other electronic devices who uses advanced features of computer hardware,[1][2][3] operating systems,[4] programs, or websites[5] which are not used by the average user. A power user might not have extensive technical knowledge of the systems they use[6] but is rather characterized by competence or desire to make the most intensive use of computer programs or systems.

    Term use

    The term came into use in the 1980s, as advocates for computing developed special skills for working with or customizing existing hardware and software. Power users knew the best ways to perform common tasks and find advanced information before the arrival of the commercial Internet. On PC platforms, power users read magazines like Byte or PC Magazine, and knew enough about operating systems to create and edit batch files, write short programs in BASIC, and adjust system settings. They tended to customize or "supercharge" existing systems, rather than create new software.[7]

    Notes

    This is systematically done by the factories of technology. I am baffled that a 41 year old litterate person, with secondary school and partial tertiary school, cant tell the difference between an email account, a FB account, a local machine account, a table, notebook and Android phone, from the basic technological perspective. This happened a couple of hours ago, which makes this article very relevant to me.

    This person was born two generations ago!

    WTF happened to reading manuals!?

    I read all manuals I get with hardware I buy, go online to fetch and read, PRINT IF I HAVE TO!

    Power Users are a sub-species of homosapiens which is in the greybeard stage.

    Eventually we will drop our current corpus and move on to other energy levels of existence

    Power users will become extinct in the next generation or two

    A bleak future for those left

  6. A quotation from Shakespeare

    HORATIO: Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince,
       And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

    Hamlet, Act 5, sc. 2, l. 396ff (5.2.396-397) (c. 1600)

  12. CW: CW: eulogy, suicide at 39c3

    I am at a serious loss for words and yet I need to write something. A #eulogy, maybe.

    Yesterday evening, here on Fedi, I read a #suicide note by @Crimekillz , my first girlfriend of eight years and one of my closest friends and soul mates for most of our lives.

    This morning, I learned from her family that she had indeed passed away yesterday night after purposefully overdosing on medication near her home. As if for her, it started snowing here for the first time this winter just now.

    I hardly know what to write at this moment, I'm sorry.

    This appears as an immediate consequence of her being bullied at #39C3, but it follows a life of serious tragedy and hardships. Autism, ADHD, schizophrenia, DID; a broken home, child abuse, bullying, exclusion. Tons of unhealed trauma, and myriads of complex and contradictory personalities stacked on top of each other.

    She was all that and one of the most wonderful and interesting people I ever met. She was the most important person in my life for most of my existence.

    I met Jenny on the German Minecraft forums when I was 13 and she was a couple of years older than me. She was my first and only best friend. She made me realise I was queer, she was the first person I ever loved. We started dating on the 1st of March of 2015, and we were together for almost eight years. We went through the teenage years, through both our transitions, our political socialisation, our earliest life stages and experiences. We eventually moved and lived together as what we used to describe as soul mates. We wanted to build a family.

    I can not overstate the absolute integral role she has played in my life, my self-discovery and journey in my identity, my teenage years and early adulthood.

    While eventually we drifted apart due to different social circles and an unfortunate third-roommate situation making us move to separate apartments, we split up amicably and kept in regular contact til the very end.

    Jenny was one of the most wonderful and interesting people I knew. There was no other person in my life I have had this deep of a connection to as her.

    There is absolutely nothing I could write here that could possibly do her justice in any way, or all the moments we've shared together.

    She was a complex person of many contradictions. She was a lifelong rebel, and a fragile, deeply vulnerable soul at heart. She was an anarchist and a nonconformist, a furry and therian, a philosopher, an agender woman, a great girlfriend and someone who would have found it rad to be called a gender terrorist, a punk and a psychonaut, a queer bean, a kind soul, a hacker and cybercriminal in the best possible sense.

    I would like to extend my sincerest condolences to everyone else who knew her and most importabtly, did not contribute to her passing away.

    I would like to extend a hearty fuck-you to the people in the #Chaosbubble who stood by willingly as she was excluded and bullied; to her abusers; to the enablers. To the people who gave not a single damn about her feelings, who pressured her into a life of overstimulation and constant restlessness, who excluded her for superficial reasons, who abused therapy speech and called her "problematic" for being who she was.

    May she be dearly missed, and rest in power.

    To quote her last public words:
    "There is beauty in darkness, I want my funeral to be a celebration, make it a rave. Maybe Luna has time to DJ."

  14. The Princess Bride, My Personal Comfort Film

    Sunday night, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner were found dead in their home. I never met Mr. Reiner but his work was such an immense part of my childhood, especially The Princess Bride. I was nine the first time I saw The Princess Bride, watching it at a friend's house in a double-feature with Spaceballs both introduced as "two of the best movies" that I absolutely needed to see. My buddy Sean was completely right, and that double-feature would get repeated pretty much every time we got […]

  15. I just heard that an old friend and colleague with whom I’d lost touch has died. There are lots of things to be said by people closer to them than I had become. But this person was kind, and classy, and creative. And by being all of that, they made the world, and so many other people’s lives, far better. If you know anyone like that, tell them so.
