Do you think millennials who grew up with the early Internet and home computers will be as bad with future technology as boomers are with current technology? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Same, they keep on adding new features and I don't have the time / interest / small enough world to get me to keep up with every little change. When I was a kid at home, I basically just had school and then a desktop to mess with. Now, my partner shows me new stuff on my iPhone all the time (shortcuts and whatnot) and it's great... but I just need something that works and isn't leaking data I wouldn't expect.

I used my work account to make an account for Postman the other day and they added like, public profiles to Postman. Like what? Who asked for that?

Thought this was mindblowing. A lot of it was familiar to me (e.g. women need a certain level of body fat) and some of it I knew as urban legend (e.g. body fat set point theory).

However, he references studies and talks about things men might experience at 5% body fat that I never expected, like extremely low testosterone.

I like the concept of ActivityPub (though Tildes feels cognitively easier to use). But I actually think internet forums are a dying format; I enjoy them but I don’t want to talk with bots, read bots arguing, or post more stuff used to train bots. I miss having little online corners of nerds being nerdy, but I think a lot of it will have to come offline to remain "authentic."
