many people never get basic tech literacy. i think we’d benefit from not simply assuming others have (or could have) access to the same resources, time and patience that we had. i think you probably mean well but your statement, which sort of implies that people say “I am choosing not to learn the important skill of using the command line!”, just comes across as ignorant and naive to me
- suction 5y agoTech literacy would help a great deal saving our democracies. Nobody needs to know command line, but to be able to tell if you're on a Russian disinfo website or a legit source of information is also (but not only) a matter of tech literacy, so I think OP is on to something here.

- wizzwizz4 5y ago> Nobody needs to know command line You're replying to a tangential “continuing the conversation”-type comment as though it were a rebuttal in an argument. It already agrees with you.
