I legitimately think this is a thing.

I suspect folks who grew up with door dash see it as a normalized service. I grew up poor before it was a thing, and even though I’m financially better now it’s only used when we’re absolutely pooped.

There are just… So many more entrenched predatory services now that only serve to extract money more efficiently. All that klarna “buy now pay later” stuff? Absolutely deadly if someone doesn’t know how to budget.

‘sudo’ is another contender

I wouldn’t expect folks working on Linux to be discouraged by the sweat equity of something as small as running the installer for an OS. I definitely read “just work” to mean having all components supported by the OS, regular updates available, etc.

Shit, I’m millennial software developer who self hosts software as a hobby and I feel tech literacy decay.

I don’t understand how Microsoft office handles it’s saves, so I don’t want to save shit in the cloud. I don’t want an app for my toaster. I don’t understand how cool things like YouTube revanced and other “app mods” work, and I can barely grasp what “debrid” streams are. A zoomer manages the discord server we started years and years ago, because none of the millennials know how to work the bots. I self host one of the bots, but I don’t know shit about using it lmao.
