I think a big chunk of us are gen X. We used BBS forums, Usenet, then slashdot. Then it went mainstream. Move to digg. Move to Reddit. It keeps getting ruined. Now we’re here but I guess at some point we’ll migrate again. Nothing is permanent.
Hey now some of us are older Gen Z. But I grew up around a lot of old tech so I’m weirdly more similar to millennials and Gen X in some regards on that front.
I was raised by my grandmother, my biological fathers a rapist (I know from experience) and my mother is fucking crazy due to untreated bipolar disorder. Also yes TVs don’t get enough appreciation.
Lemmy user base is older than i expected
Even old farts can use new tech.
new tech is more user friendly than old tech, so i don’t see why not
WHY IS MY LEMMY BLINKING 12:00
IT KEEPS SCREAMING PC LOAD LETTER. I BURNED MY LAST PRINTER WHAT THE HELLS
“PC LOAD LETTER” just means it wants woke paper, but doesn’t want any if that nancy Euro A4 shit.
That’s the signal to insert the Betamax cassette.
I DON’T LIKE BETAMAX I LISTEN TO STEELY DAN
Steely Dan was the best porn star I ever dated, Rock Hard Ron was the second.
I am so glad I missed this 60’s reference. That means I’m young!
It is also not really a reference that is widely known outside of the US (or North America).
This was before my time. But there is a pretty wide range of users here, I’ve noticed.
Have you ever seen the movie they made in like 2000? It’s interesting to say the least.
No! I’ll have to put it on the list.
They actually filmed that in the town I live. I still haven’t bothered to watch it though.
Gen X local bar.

Slashdot represent!
You should move to piefed next
I’m glad to find out I’m not the only one. I took pretty much the same path. Can’t forget many thousands of hours spent on IRC.

next time you see your parents give them a hug for raising you right
also the tv. the tv doesn’t get enough hugs and i’m sure it’s sad.
I was raised by my grandmother, my biological fathers a rapist (I know from experience) and my mother is fucking crazy due to untreated bipolar disorder. Also yes TVs don’t get enough appreciation.
apologies, hug your grandmother. and your tv.
Ya couldn’t have known and I can only hug my TV. My grandmother ain’t dead, just driving to Idaho.
idaho? she might as well be dead i got family in burley and boise. that drive suuuucks and it’s wet today. give her my love too.
She’s going up towards Elk Bend. Also she’s leaving from San Bernardino California so she has a couple days for shit to dry up.
Also yeah Idaho while beautiful also kinda just sucks, luckily unlike Utah it can be salvaged pretty easily.
