If you consider yourself "nontechnical" or feel that computers are for someone else to understand:
What are some questions you have about social media, the internet, computers, phones, linux? What you wish you understood, to help you make decisions about your digital life and digital communities. These could be "how does X work" but also "why do we do things this way" or "would it be possible to Y".
I'm chatting with a local collective about running some talks or workshops along these lines. Try to get normal folks comfortable talking about change they want to see. I have some ideas for topics but want to know what people actually care about.
No promises but this might turn into online resources too.

🤖✨ Behold the latest revelation: Large Language Models can now miraculously 'understand' nullability! 🙄 Brace yourselves as non-technical #users are unleashed upon the realm of #coding, wielding the mighty power of #AI like toddlers with magic wands. Meanwhile, unanswered questions pile up like unsorted laundry, but let's just pretend everything's under control. 🤦♂️🎉

@r0ml Sure - Everybody in an org has some level of #technical aptitude, just varying levels of expertise in different areas. Talk about specific, relevant skills to the topic at hand, e.g.:
' #nontechnical users aren't going to use the command line to fix this'
vs
'I bet most people could do this in a terminal window if a trainer or someone wrote out clear instructions'or
'sales team is non-technical, we need a dev for this'
vs
'Gifty on the sales team shared with us the solution she created (mostly using Excel pivot tables) - I bet an engineer could extend it into this new planning tool. -

Without any prompting by me, the topic of Tw*exit came up at Thanksgiving dinner. One person said she loved it and was sad to see things possibly fall apart and she was gonna try Post, and I suggested #Mastodon.
I mentioned a few things, but the following things seemed to resonate:
the lack of ads, lack of an algorithm controlling what you see, and *local control of what you see* (server/local blocks, filters)
These are non-technical people. This stuff matters.
