Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception?
Could people boozt this? I am so curious.
Are you a:
@thordis I choose boomer, but I could also be genX Depending on where you put the cutoff.
It's a bit ridiculous calling myself a "boomer" given that I was still in kindergarten when the Beatles broke up and I share none of their growing-up experiences, but marketers love oversimplifying things. 🤷

@marjolica @thordis I bet more babies were born during or shortly after the early 70s nightly power cuts :-)

Yeah the boomer designation really covers two generations with two very different life experiences. The ones at the older end are old enough to be parents of those of us at the younger end, and I don't relate to them/their experiences at all.
We are actually "Jonesers" or "Generation Jones": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Jones

I picked Gen X, but really I'm one of those middling Oregon Trail people who fits cleanly in neither the X nor the Millennial box. Ultimately I have decided that the dividing line should be century of high school graduation, which is why I choose as I did. -

Are you a:
Technically Xennial cuz I cannot relate to 90% of the supposed suburban comfort of Gen X.

FYI: The correct spelling is "millennial", not "millenial". You've left out one of the "n". -
@marjolica @thordis there's no one definitive definition. I've also seen
1946-1964 - baby boomers
1965-1984 - gen x
1985-2005 - millennialsEtc... as that way each generation is exactly 20 years.
The origin stories podcast had an episode last week called "boomers" which talks about the various ways the generations can be defined.
@quixoticgeek@social.v.st @marjolica@social.linux.pizza @thordis@theforkiverse.com I'm right on the border between millenial and gen Z depending on who you ask :D

@darkphoenix @marjolica @thordis i consider myself gen x more than I do a millennial. I'd use the term xenial, if it didn't annoy me so much.

Generation Jones! (We have been wrongly grouped at the tail end of the Boomers)

@quixoticgeek @darkphoenix @marjolica @thordis I've been called* "geriatric millennial" so I naturally identify as gen x out of spite, mostly.
*not me, but the people born in my year, etc etc.

Ask #OldPeopleOfMastodon and see how many boomers there are! -
@thordis Fediverse DOES have a network of smaller Gen Z servers
but they tend to be Queer or Furry focused. and occasionally Game Development
they are also quite insular for valid reasons, and I'm certainly not going to list a bunch so everyone can go bother their users
but they are with us. you just need to move in the correct circles and they will pop up to make you feel ancient

@david_megginson @thordis It's strange, I remember being told the Beatles broke up by my father. I can even remember the expression he used!

@thordis
I keep getting surprised when I notice yet another co-cohort or older human. Not that one always can tell, but on previous social media I kept getting the impression that most of the folk I knew were a couple of decades younger.@hypostase @thordis Boomer here 🤚

@scollovati posso immaginare come può funzionare la crittografia omomorfica e perché sia così lenta. Lumo mi era stato consigliato anche nei commenti al blog: proverò a darci un'occhiata, anche se devo dire che non è che quello che chiedo a un chatbot debba necesssariamente restare privato...

@studiofox this thread reminded me I need to pay my last bill, and now having to chat with fucking support because their guestpay page does not work. It demands I login and link a number, which fails because it's no longer a T-Mobile number. Terrible company. Terrible website.

@c_merriweather @NormanDunbar @terminaltilt the only thing, I've read that Tuta uses Amazon for dns (I've not looked into it any further, so I don't know if it's true o it it was true but no more o whatever)
