    So now when I spin up a VM at my sysadmin job I have to tell the server I’m an adult? Does anyone actually know what the fuck we are doing here? What an absolute clown show.

      Obviously not, no.

      You’re a sysadmin… you should know this.

      You’re the person who has to actually think through the results of other people’s decisions.

      That’s your job, lol.

      Other people get paid to make decisions, not think about them.

      This is what happens when boomers never die and stay in office for a lifetime. They don’t understand technology but are allowed to make the laws that govern their use.

        Nha boomers are not the cause for this shit. Smart ass marketeers and tech bro pushing for more precise target identification and thus more reach for them are to blame. And those I stumble upon are definitely on the younger side.

        Considering most said technology was built by boomers… yeah sure, buddy.

          You’re confusing GenX with Boomers - the explosion in Tech was in the 90s, not the 70s.

          Even then, most GenX weren’t involved in Tech since when they learned how to use it, it wasn’t yet normalized and widespread, so only really people who found such things interesting went for it and generally the personality type of those attracted to power over others is almost the opposite of the personality type of those attracted to solving problem which are expressed in strict and complex logical structures (for example programming languages or electronics designs).

            Indeed it “exploded” in the 90s but was established in the 60s.
            Personality types seem to be spot on.
            Regardless, shoehorning whole generations is just… unproductive. Unless you’re claming GenXers are cool, then you’re correct.
