I think most all of us here on Lemmy are people with technical background. Most of my professional contacts remained using Reddit, Twitter and even excited when Threads launched.

If you are non-tech background, please comment and share what you do for life.

    I am a geek by nature and an IT tech by trade. But my kids still need to help me with basic windows stuff. It dawned on me qhen I entered my 40’s that while I’m technically adept beyond most people in many areas, I simply stopped caring about other areas that is still in the same field.

    At work I usually say “If your PC has a monitor, I won’t be of much help” when I get asked about “normal” IT stuff. I can build you a petabyte-sized server cluster and route it around the world via VPN over maritime satellites, but ask me how to find stuff in any windows control panel and I’m going to come up short.
