@grainloom I like the way you phrased that. I had never thought to apply the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis to software before, but the way you stated it makes perfect sense.

@willghatch learn to use a package manager. good operating systems have them built in. app stores are bad substitutes.
@feonixrift i think you're in good company. Isn't that what @schneierblogs@twitter.com recommends?

.@NPRKelly's interview with @SecPompeo went in a direction we weren't expecting. As described on @npratc: He screamed, swore at her and said she couldn't find Ukraine on a map.

“Unhinged.” The notion that @NPRKelly would confuse Ukraine with Bangladesh on a map is so ludicrous it doesn’t even merit comment. As for the other accusations, I trust our reporter. And as for “basic rules of decency”: well.

"Montaigne says that we despise our own beings. You’re imprisoned in this tomb of self-proclaimed ugliness. We should try to recognize that we are animals. A dog doesn’t have a list of corrections for his body. He isn’t embarrassed about anything. We should recognize that the differences between our brain and an animal’s brain do bring us certain benefits, but they also bring us needless anxieties." @iamstephenwest@twitter.com on Michele de #Montaigne

I forgot to mention, there's an organisation called Slave Free Chocolate, founded in 2007. They aim to make people aware of child slavery in West African chocolate farms and work to eradicate it. They also keep a list of ethical companies so you can help support the farmers and avoid any exploitative corporations.
@tindall@cybre.space but Microsoft is investing $1B on climate change R&D so they're the good guys. Right? No need to go try to collect the several times that ammount that they owe...
Reading logs is for everyone. If a program crashes check out `dmesg` or `journalctl` or on Windows Event Viewer. You may find clues that lead to solutions.

The command line is not to be feared but is in fact the most intuitive interface imaginable.
Need help? Try `help` or `man`. Need an option for a program? Try `--help` or `-h`. Especially on programs this is way easier to find that feature than opening a browser and searching. Need to find a program for a topic? Try `man -k <topic>`

* `man man` to see what the numbers by the manpage stand for

What are some things that every computer user should learn? What things do you wish every computer user knew? What are some of the biggest benefits that individuals and/or society could reap if computer users learned these things?
Please boost, I honestly want as many serious answers as possible. Feel free to answer variations of the question for different levels of "computer users", such as programmers, office workers who use a computer 4+ hours per day, phone-only users, etc.
@DissidentKitty@radical.town @StarCake @restioson@anarchism.space @MrControll@sunbeam.city @Anarkat@hackers.town no one here seems to be dividing by race/gender/etc. There are middle class white centrists/conservatives that think increasing equality takes away from them. They don't realize their luck; a disease could render them unemployable (but not disabled) and the system would cease to work for them. Imagine being forced into low/no benefit jobs because of an innate quality.

Microsoft pledges $1B in carbon research.
For perspective Microsoft reported $35B in "taxable income" in 2018. How much of that was from user data?
