As a millenial it's weird how the generations before us are completely tech illiterate, but also the generation after us. Fuck me, the zoomers are getting stepper machines, thinking they're somehow good and a new thing.

And it is our own fault. We've made much of the stuff zoomers are using. By us black boxing everything in order to make it easier, the zoomers have become insanely tech illiterate

It's weird feeling like we're sandwiched in the middle of tech illiteracy. Like, yo, I can't hold the whole tech stack up myself. You guys gotta learn how to "use the Internet" too.

My sister in law is almost 10 years younger and can't even get Plex running on her Apple TV. Wtf?!

I obviously haven't tried it but I would not be at all surprised to learn that it was unsupported. I don't use Plex but I've yet to see anything other than an Android TV box support either Jellyfin or Kodi. The companies that make these things are catching on

Shout out to all my Generation X peeps--the first generation to spend our teenage/young adult years on the Internet. We still laugh at our Boomer parents who don't know anything about technology. Now we kinda roll our eyes and say "whatever" to all the younger folks who think that we don't either.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
