    Tech people talk about tech too much. I really really REALLY want to use all the awesome privacy friendly FOSS (and similar) stuff, but I am not a techie person! I don't know how to program, nor do I want to. And every SINGLE time I try to find out even what thing (OS, program, app, service, etc) to use, let alone how, and I search for it... I get techie-focused answers. It's complete gibberish to me! Absolutely useless. It makes me feel actively unwelcome even though I really care about using alternatives to Windows, Meta, X and other dystopic nonsense. For example: I'm like "How do I start a non-enshittified group chat to talk about a thing?" and all the results are technobabble to me. I don't even know if the words they use are supposed to be normal english words or if they refer to orgs or groups or apps or some weird coding wizardry. I am so lost, every single time. I stick with it though. But like. I wonder if the tech people realise that this is happening???? Because they probably understand what they're talking about. And they seem to not realise that not everyone does. I'm not trying to blame or shame anyone or even complaining as such (a little bit complaining, ngl), mostly just giving feedback. This is not an issue with a singe thing but with ALL of it as a whole! Including #GNU #Linux the #Fediverse #Matrix and most #FOSS apps. My sincere wish: Give non-techie people an EASY TO FIND and easy to read and easy to understand and easy to implement guide about how to use the things as an alternative to using big corporation services, ie, "I just want it to work" and not have to worry about the technical side of things. (examples in thread)

    @WeirdWriter @rysiek These two paragraphs struck me in particular:> That’s in stark contrast to, say, Google+, which despite corporate backing, incomparably larger budget, and being pushed down people’s throats through forced integration with YouTube, survived mere seven years, nine months, and a week.Because unfortunately Google probably doesn't see that as a problem. Or even as the Fedi winning. For them, longetivity doesn't matter, but peak user count.> And once it shut down, it shut down. A social network of millions just blipped out of existence one day. All those moments – lost in time, like tears in rain.This, too, for them is a good thing. No-one else can profit from "their" data.This just makes it so crystal clear how the big one's interests aren't aligned with ours. Google+ wasn't really failing in their book, it had served its purpose and then ceased to do so. To us, this is loss. To Google this is just business.

    @fedivideo Honestly YouTube has spoiled us. Content can be streamed in 4k simply because they are as big as they are, and can "afford" the bandwidth + datacosts.720p is more than good enough for most content. That's the format I save my own gaming clips in, because what matters is the atmosphere of the moments I capture, not necessarily a 1:1 crisp image of the experience.With good encoding, anything is possible
