Can we stop throwing around "autistic" for anything? Have people actually ever met autistic kids? It as nothing to do about having uncommon interest, it imply much more things then that.

back in the 80's, whole rooms of Apple Computers sat empty, all day, everyday. At all the different schools i went to as a child.

I assume it's because none of the teachers wanted to learn them, it was real fucking shitty growing up surrounded by so many stupid fucks.

but now, soon, AI will be x1000000000⁷ better teachers. So at least the children will have an actual chance in this world, and so many of them won't choose liberal arts as their course of studies. -all that time they were just disciplining the children

Gotta get my kicks somehow

I started on Commodore (Vic20 that I don't remember much, C64, and A500) mostly with a tiny bit of Atari and then was on Windows at home for decades (I tried installing Linux (Mandrake and Redhat) back when it fit on a floppy, but without a lot of success). I guess I'm too old and not neurotypical enough?

I take it someone has already pointed out that excluded was the word wanted?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

Disclude is a perfectly cromulent word.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Don't unclude my vocabulary like that

Run a second correlation on the incomes of these families and the tech literacy of their children and see what you find. I have a hypothesis.

In my experience kids who had iDevices don't grow up to be tech literate but do have decently off parents.

I also grew up dirt poor and only had a webTV til I was like... 14. I'm way more tech literate than most it seems.

webTV

Wasn't that pretty expensive? Or am I thinking of something different?
