Electrician. I'm new here and looking for a good alternative to reddit since the whole 3rd party app thing.
I'm an advertising copywriter. I don't use much tech on a day-to-day basis (I tend to write about deodorant, which is definitely on the lower-tech side) but I have some extremely limited coding in my background, and I like building PCs.
Half I guess? Graduated in a non technical field but I ended up taking a lot of CS and math classes. But now I'm not really doing anything since I've been depressed since college. There's probably a lot of stuff I could do if I could get over the motivation hump.
I work for an outsourced company representing a large search engine brand. The largest.
I am not on the tech end though. I handle partner relationships. Aka I am the company rep from a tech jugganaut, to people way more tech saavy than me.
I spend my days hoping I don't get caught out.
I am a Social Worker. But Computers are my hobby since as long as I remember.
I’m a cinematographer and editor so I spend a lot of time working with tech but very specific stuff. I’m still on reddit for now. At least until Narwhal becomes prohibitive to use. Fuck Twitter and Threads.
I'm non tech, in a professional role. I just like computers.
Professional land surveyor. Work a lot with raw digital data, with some experience in various coding languages to manipulate the data. Plus I know computer stuff pretty well.
Lawyer here, but a lot of my interests are tech-adjacent.
I work in retail management lol! although I have spent p much my entire life around computers and am tech savvy :p
I’m semi tech related? Work in the graphic design industry. So I’m adjacent to some of the things here.
Writer. Have some very basic tech knowledge but mainly just had enough of reddit's bullshit 🤷♂️ lemmy is pretty easy to understand imo, I don't know how the fuck you keep a server running but I'm glad that many people here do so I can just sign up and shitpost.
I’m a bartender
spreadsheets and stuff but I don't know much other than how to google problems
Retired military at a young age working property maintenance at a storage facility part time to kill time.
Don’t have a technical background per se.
I have a degree in music education, and work at a consulting firm doing non-programming-language-based data work.
Personally, though, I am a very technical person who loves science and math. I have a tinkerer’s mindset; I love taking things apart and understanding how they work, then putting it back together.
I work in the office side of a distribution center. I’m far from technologically illiterate, but my knowledge drops off a cliff when I get outside my comfort zone. I know enough not to bother IT most of the time, so I count that as a win.
Reddit killing the 3rd party apps pissed me off a little bit, but their AMA about it really made me start looking for alternatives. So here I am!
I'm a geographer and haven't been techie since it was considered technical to connect a VCR to a TV using RCA cables
Ive worked in kitchens most of my life, now I work in AI and I have my own copy editing business, and go to school for Info Systems and Supply Chain Management. Wasnt tech but im slowly pushing into it because these are skills ill need to get to retire with money in the bank.
I'm a programmer but I don't think there is a high bar of entry here, maybe with so many options to choose from maybe
Non tech. Designer.
I'm currently an attorney but in another life I worked help desk in the military.
I am not a geek.
Non-tech career but have always been a tech enthusiast.
Non-tech background, currently a undergrad student, but formally trained office worker for secretary and business matters.
