Great guy know is an actual boomer, grew up in Canada and then London after the war (dad was an MP). That dude took a passenger ship from Canada to UK and then back.
Was in Jolly ol' England at the right to see the Beatles before they were the Beatles.
He was doing things with palm pilots and computers that no senior citizen should have been doing if this ageist shit was in anyway accurate
Nah, they’re the last “boomer” generation. Fed a diet of TV and no internet growing up, but just in time to secure the last slice of normal with owning a home and having a family on a decent income.
Ok but what about Gen X?
We could fix it too, but we don’t wanna.
You're using that word again. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Boomer-ass comment
You're clearly an enthusiast and are one of the exceptions I spoke of. Calm down and think critically, please... Most people did not have Spectrums, Commodores, ham radios, etc. Enthusiasts like you absolutely did, and yes, you knew your shit if you did.
These days everyone has advanced electronic devices. Eveeeeryone.
You really came out swinging for no reason there, eh?
^^^ I love this human. ^^^
Not only did they post a nice answer towards my comment, they're actually settling what could turn into an internet argument from the get go!
LOL thanks.
Also FYI I'm 19.
Another vote for that human, some people (others) make internet feel like working in retail...
We're burned out. It's time to pass the soldering iron.
Lost gen got all that kung-fu.
I tried to get into the whole Arduino thing as a Gen Xer. I couldn't believe the complexity and back story you need to know before getting started. Totally baffled by the whole thing. Just give me a processor, some memory and a serial port. Why do I need an IDE, drivers, a bootloader, fifteen different kinds of whatevers I don't understand, yes, I am burned out, where are the Doritos?
They’re too tired for that too. They’re more of a “blow in the hole and jiggle it” people.
Good damn it they forgot about us again. This is exactly why they call us Generation X!

That escalated quickly....
Edit: surprising really, when considering that stoners don't do anything quickly
No, you’re not.
Awe shucks! 🤭
I dunno, I've spent enough time in online communities that I'd rather not start fights over things that can simply be talked through. I'm happy to hear Bennyboy's response too if they still disagree with me and believe me to be mistaken, but there's certainly no reason for hostility!
Not an enthusiast. Im the average. And you calm down, or send you to bed without any supper!!!
And as for "coming out swinging", youre god damn right. Cos you people are either ignoring us, or just making up dog shit about us. And now youre giving the shocked Pikachu face, cos someone got sick of the bullshit lies? Dude... I guess that another thing your generation love to do. Make it look like the bullied person standing up for themself is the asshole. Fuck, how you lot love to do that.
