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.

@DrALJONES Albanese difesa a spada tratta da nazioni propal contro i tifosi del genocidio tipo meloni

Interview with Francesca Albanese on her newest report, “Gaza Genocide: a collective crime”

"The genocide in Gaza was not committed in isolation, but as part of a system of global complicity."

Rather than ensuring Israel respects the self-determination of the Palestinian people, western states have provided it with military, diplomatic, economic & ideological support.

The world’s gaze has shifted away from Gaza and it was seemingly relegated in importance. After all, a little over two years after the 7 October attacks, with Israel’s unforgiving campaign of annihilation, a ceasefire was reached.

Brokered by US President Donald Trump, negotiations culminated in a ceremony in Egypt on 13 October that celebrated "peace in the Middle East".
