Thread 106351530

Serious question: is there anything more cringe than when millennials act like knowing how to navigate an outdated file system makes them superior to all other gens?

>>106351530 (OP)
ii don't think it's only limited to or common among millennials especially here

>>106351530 (OP)
Not being able to navigate file systems.

>>106351530 (OP)
Modern file systems still have directories, so does your phone.

>>106351588
So? Modern decices also internally store everything as 1s and 0s, doesn't mean I have to learn binary to use them.

>>106351548
Why? Seriously.

>>106351541
Millennials are literally the only gen that does this.

>>106351530 (OP)
>an outdated file system
but that's where you're wrong, it's today's systems

I want to think that its not us millennials couldnt get used to "new" tech and formats. Its we didnt want to, because they were and still are objectively inferior. Just fucking bloatware wherever you look, laggy, but most of all doesnt even respect the user choices. Sorry for not being ok with some jeets algorithm holding my hand 24/7. Its like telling manual no-electronic-aids sports car drivers that they "illiterate" or unskilled for refusing to drive newer crap. Both work almost as well anyway.

>>106351626
The only possible argument you have for saying you don't need to know how to use a file system is if you ONLY use your smartphone or tablet and even then storing things the way they do is massively inconvenient.

Also, how can you not understand a file system. I learned how to navigate one when I was in Kingergarten just clicking around my parents desktop. It's not hard.

>>106351530 (OP)
outdated file systems lmao
stupid fucking touchscreen faggot, stick to websites that have apps like reddit.

>>106351626
>Why? Seriously.
Because it is a basic function of all devices.
It's kinda like being able to turn on your TV but not knowing how to change channels.

>>106351530 (OP)
>outdated file system
You can call file systems outdated once you come up with a better alternative, at the moment you have absolutely none so shut the fuck up.
I'm not even saying traditional file systems are perfects, I can think about improvements like adding tag sets and therefore search by tag set, by union of tag sets, etc, or like adding Plan 9 style union directory mounts, but even then you are in the end still managing files, which is why I say these are improvements, NOT alternatives.
You pretend you are beyond files but in fact you're not, you zoomers just gave up on file management alltogether and dump all files in a single bucket, this is in every way worse than managing files even just with the traditional method of hierarchical directories, and in the end you're still stuck with files.
In short you provide no alternatives to files so you have no right to call them outdated, you're just not able to do things properly because you're a retard.

>>106351718
It's not inferior. Progress will happen whether you want it to or not.

>>106351747
>if you ONLY use your smartphone or tablet
And Chromebooks, actually. Not much you can do on a PC that isn't covered by these three.

>>106351760
4chan has multiple apps and a competently made smartphone browser page.

>>106351811
No, using legacy file systems is like insisting to tune channels using an old timey dial when you have a remote control right there.

>>106351830
Between "most recently used" and modern OSs providing AI suggestions that "single bucket" performs better than ANY designed file system.

>>106351899
>most recently used
Which doesn't scale, even for personal files.
I can access any file in few clicks, any file, because I have them properly organized in directories, meanwhile whenever a normalfag (zoomer or boomer) needs to find anything from the medium to long past in their files (yeah because they are still files no matter how much you delude yourself of the opposite), like a photo, they take 10 minutes of scrolling to find it if they find it at all, even worse if it's on something like Instagram or Telegram.
It's a matter of fact that finding files in an organized directory hierarchy that uses a common naming scheme will perform better, you just don't know how to use it, actually you don't even know that you don't know, literally the Dunning-Kruger effect.
>letting megacorp AI scanning all your files
Disgusting.
And also not really a solution even if we ignore all the mistakes AI, because if you don't categorize them yourself you won't know which categories the AI has made, you'll have to guess what's inside the category and lot of categories created by the AI might be irrelevant garbage to you personally, the point is that you first organize the files inside your head, then on the file system, it's not something you can delegate to an AI, otherwise you just won't know where the files is or which tags the file has.

>>106351626
You don't have to learn it. Not doing it makes you tech illiterate thoughever.

>>106351887

>>106352593
> This user is underage

Millenials were the most tech literate because common devices didn't gatekeep.

Learning the file system of a smart phone for example is almost pointless to the typical end user unless the phone is rooted because everything worth knowing the location of is blocked.

Millenials learned on pcs that let you go to any file on a pc as a standard freedom.

shitposting aside, no generation has been inherently "tech literate". "tech" (consoomer hardware computers) is inherently unnatural and the only way to learn how to use it is to read some manuals and try stuff out. retards of all ages have the boneheaded assumption that anyone young should be able to intuitively understand "tech" which is as dumb as saying that every person born in 1433 England should be a good archer or that every person born in 1989 USA necessarily knows how to drive.

>>106353257

this has been true since time immemorial. while zoomers are measurably dumber than their predecessors, the problems of nepotism, lack of education and talent, and unwillingness to train the uneducated/untalented are not new

I have had very few issues with Gen X & Millennials. The idiots are Boomers and Zoomers, with Alphies coming in to shit things up even more.

>>106351588
this is what I don't get about the "lol zoomers cant files cuz phone" meme -- phones still have normal file systems, and even if you never touch it by mounting it on a PC, you still have folders for photos, music, videos, etc. Even if you just use the basic "photos" "app" you can still create and manipulate folders to sort your photos.

>>106353359
im in the military of my country where everyone has to pass a weapons qualification yearly. even among a volunteer force, 99% of people can't shoot for shit and the vast majority of "soldiers" can't remember which way the magazine goes in from year to year.

and i have a bow myself; they're just as easy to use as rifles and I would wager a national training program for them would have similar results of "most people on paper can use one but might nock the arrow the wrong way a couple times until they get yelled at once or twice and remember how to not fuck it up"

>>106353362
>The idiots are Boomers and Zoomers,
i will agree with this one, I see the most (and dumbest) IT complaints from those groups. however computers remain unnatural constructs and the only reason the middle generations seem good with them is because training was prolific and the devices themselves were in a magic time of being primitive enough that you need to know what you're doing to do anything useful, but they're still easy enough (after reading a couple pages of the manual) that basically anyone can get going easily.

>>106353359

>>106353406
Not law across any country in North America at least, so no, not the same.
And the point is that you at least get some familiarity and ability as opposed to someone looking at folders like they do an old school office printer-scanner-fax monstrosity.

>>106353428

Those are blanket statements, you can't really generalize like that, especially when gen z starts at 1997, not 2006, not 2005, 1997.

>outdated

>>106353445
"zoomer" is an epithet separate from actual generational definitions. if you want to get technical, then this thread is mostly about Gen Alpha really

>>106353313
Yeah because NOTHING is promoted except turboslop goy media and get rich quick schemes so most people just idly consume garbage and become garbage.

>>106353464
I do agree, But even gen alpha is complicated, I know someone who's gen alpha and they can hold their own when it comes to tech. It is like you said though, a epithet .

>>106353474
and again, computers are not something a generation just knows how to use natively; it's a series of tools like anything else, and expecting competence with them based solely on age is silly

I'm sure there's something you use in your daily life that you don't understand how it works under the hood.

Why does Chad need to know how a file system works when he's dming hoes on insta and Snapchat and texting his bros?

>>106351626
Because it's foundational basics. If you don't know how to navigate a fucking file system, what hope do you have of understanding a mid-large codebase?
It's like saying "Why do you need to know how to cut with a knife to be a chef?"
Ok maybe you don't absolutely have to, but it's going to be far far harder if you don't know how to and learning is not difficult at all
Stats have shown that every generation generally gets smarter than the previous gen. Gen Z has been the first gen where this isn't true and are on general testing worse than Millenials did. We millenials may be completely unable to write good stories and have unfortunately been the front-runners to woke faggotry, but we're the smartest generation.
I do feel bad that it keeps getting worse for gen z and alpha, you guys have no hope of being middle class. But you fags also all aspire to be influencers, so you kinda deserve it

2 things
>1: people born in the 1990s are not millennials. millennials in the US are people who grew up in the time where the internet was becoming widespread but not yet omnipresent. so it's really just people born in the 80s
>2: tech literacy wasn't widespread even among millennials. before the internet was ubiquitous, you were seen as a giant loser faggot knowing anything how about how tech works
that said the tech literacy of the top 5-20% of people has gone down so fucking much it's crazy. I teach CS (systems engineering) at an R1 and the number of students (typically juniors/seniors, so 20-22 years old) who don't know basic shit like how to navigate directories is insane.

While you can do it (I had to check my phone to verify), it's not "natural" or part of the intended workflow at all. A phone with the "make folder" command disabled would loose zero functionality for 99.9% of users. The larger problem is that software is becoming opaque. You're actively discouraged and prevented from tinkering with it. Have you seen the default right-click on Windows 11? Fuck.

I have to do stupid voodo shit to prevent the web browser from auto-updating plugins. Not to mention you can't get a browser that remembers more than 90 days of history without some shitty awkward plugin. My point is, I can do the steps to get this basic functionality back because I'm technically literate. Because I grew up with systems that allowed you to tinker. They just didn't give a fuck. You wanted to install Linkin_park.exe? Go right ahead. Maybe you'll learn something. The user is king. Computer aynt your nanny. Zoom-zooms don't have these opportunities.

You want to re-check an obscure stack-overflow answer from a coupe of months ago for a piece of code. I know zoomers don't have more than a three-months time-frame, but hey, believe it or not, the world existed before then.

But hey, if you're logged in a Google account (which I never am), they already remember all your browsing history. Even if their browser is gimped and doesn't.

>>106353215
Yes. They literally do not understand the concept of a folder.
>More broadly, directory structure connotes physical placement — the idea that a file stored on a computer is located somewhere on that computer, in a specific and discrete location. That’s a concept that’s always felt obvious to Garland but seems completely alien to her students. “I tend to think an item lives in a particular folder. It lives in one place, and I have to go to that folder to find it,” Garland says. “They see it like one bucket, and everything’s in the bucket.”

People knowing their way around tech in the late 90s, early 2000s was largely a matter of necessity. To install some of the jank people used back then you needed to know some basic command line inputs. People stopped learning to do that when tech started to become more consumer friendly and easy to use. Dunno why this is a surprise. Even as a milliennial most of my cohort had no interest in learning computers beyond the bare basics needed to use them and learning the tech stuff was reserved for nerds who had a specific interest in that stuff, not really any different to now. Actually I'd say the only difference is that nowdays because UI's are designed to be foolproof it's actually a bit harder to get in and tinker

I think there’s a simple explanation for all this. I’m early gen z (2002) while my brother is late gen z (2008), and while I remember being taught how to use a computer during ICT in primary school (basically just how windows works, what all the menu items do, etc) my brother literally comes to me for help with using word. Fucking Microsoft word. The other day he even asked me for help with updating drivers. In windows. Where all you have to do is open device manager and click on each driver to update it. I hadn’t used windows in a while so I told him to watch a YouTube video on it and he still needed my help following a fucking YouTube video. What the fuck is happening man

>>106353310
the part you are forgetting is the 1433 peasant had virtually no information about anything, they had to figure everything out from basic instruction and trial and error, average zoomie has litterally godlike access to all of humanities knowledge and does not need to remember or try anything, they can just ask how to do something and the answer is presented to them, there is simply no incentive to understand anything.

We are, boomers were, you'll be soon. There's nothing new under the sun.

That said, the file system obsession is weird, if you're not creating software in some sense or do administrative tasks (automated backups, whatever), you don't need to know it as a user, you don't get any deeper understanding of the user, and given that most things are stored in some shitty cloud storage nowadays, you probably are wrong about what happens with your files anyway. Zoomers should be bullied for being cowards instead.

>The other day he even asked me for help with updating drivers. In windows. Where all you have to do is open device manager and click on each driver to update it.
Arguably, this shit somewhat obscure and the fact that you and I and a few others understands it is due to experience dealing with Windows, not something a normoid could be expected to have.
A better system would be Settings > Windows Update having a flat list of items each with buttons that says "update" or "look for updates" or some shit, plus messages that indicates certain items can/should be updated.
It's absurd and shit, but how can you expect a normoid (who sees a computer as a means to an end, not something to be tinkered with for its own sake) to:
- Know that devmgmt.msc ("device manager") is a thing you can use.
- Know how to navigate and interpret the tree view you are presented with.
- Know how right click on the correct item and know that "update driver" does in fact updates the driver.
When people are in the mindset of wanting to get some shit done and move on, they won't pay attention to how the system they have to go through works.

Someone once brought me a (stolen) iPhone with passcode and asked me to reflash its OS. Not that I expected it'd achieve anything, but I could still get some bucks for flashing it.
Apparently I had to install iTunes after some scam app they told me to use didn't work.
Apparently iTunes is one of those "Windows Apps" garbage that is a just convoluted way of running an .exe file.
Since I had throughoutly disabled Windows Update on my PC, I had to brick my C:\Program Files\WindowsApps folders to get iTunes to launch. Even then, it didn't work.
I don't give a fuck about why it didn't work, I don't want to reverse engineer Windows Apps to figure out this shit. I only wanted cash and call it a day.

Gen X here. Neither of your generations are "tech literate." You've never done boolean algebra. You don't know what a NAND gate is. You haven't created your own assembly language. You've never built your own compiler or operating system. Knowing how to navigate a file system is no more tech literate than knowing how to swipe tiktoks.
I'm not even trying to be condescending to you, I'm just stating facts. You can learn how to be tech literate for free, very easily. Let me show you the way. I led you to the water, now drink it:

File browsers are literally displaying the file system structures, unlike retarded things like galleries, some of which have no consequences on the file system itself.
>A folder is not the file system.
Directories are a structure defined in the file system. You only see properties, metadata, files, folders and devices (files) instead of inodes, blocks, and added data that create those structures/things.

You can't even do something as basic as manage a music library without a computer. The Music app on iOS doesn't let you add music to it, only sync music from iTunes running on a computer. And I'm pretty sure Chrome OS doesn't have any way to manage a music library either. Let's face it, all these modern devices are designed to take away as much agency as possible from the user and make them reliant on subscription services for everything that used to be free and easy to do yourself.
