18M I like computers, trains, space, radio-related everything and a bunch of other tech related stuff. User of GNU+Linux.
I am also dumb and worthless.
My laptop is HP 255 G7 running Manjaro and Linux Mint.
I own RTL-SDRv3 and RSP1 clone.

Because for me Windows was not easier to use.
I only got my first proper computer in 2020, and comparing Windows 10 with Linux Mint 20, I found the latter much simpler to use not having used either one prior. Just having to bounce between Control Panel and new Settings, plus a lot of tutorials shown magic with registries…
Also, I had a lot of problems with uninstallers failing or not removing programs completely, and getting permissions to remove files directly was also pain in the ass, even as “Administrator”. That often resulted in me booting up live Linux DVD to remove crap programs from Windows.
I gave it a try, but I didn’t like it. Perhaps I’d like MacOS though. It seems similar enough. But Windows just feels like 2 decades of hotfixes glued together.
Sounds like you already got started.
Do you have more precise questions? Doesn’t matter if it’s something “simple”.
I know a young person will read this and think this won’t happen to them.
I rather thought “Huh, 30s is still young.”
That’s what a kid pretending to be an adult would say.
When I was your age, no kids did that, 'cause we had no damn internets back then. We had to actually walk outside to talk with others.
If everyone has their posts and comments upvoted by themselves by default, nobody can further upvote themselves (from that account), thus not getting advantage from self-upvote.

YouTube also supports longer videos outside of shorts. And they don’t even have to be in portrait mode. /j

Today I will answer all your most important questions. For example, the answer to eternal happiness is… more in part 2!
In case you’re serious, a video-centric social media. It focuses on short vertical videos. Naturally, they’re generally too short to have much useful information, so it’s mostly dumb addictive content, or straight up misinformation. It’s meant to feel like you’re not wasting time while you definitely are. “I am not spending 15 minutes to watch a normal video, I just watched a few (maybe 50) short (around 1 minute) videos.”
It’s like YouTube shorts.
What happened to the previous post? If you felt like you had to remove it, why did you just post it again?
Anyway, yes I am. It’s not like I could give a single reason why, it’s a lot of things, so simply yes.
I hate Billboards.
I don’t just hate them, but I’d straight up make them illegal. At least next to roads. They are specifically meant to get the attention of drivers. How can that be allowed?
Generally yes. If I don’t need it, I don’t need it for free either. The price doesn’t change how much I don’t need a product.
Only made sense when some supermarkets had samples of hams and cheeses in those sections before COVID. Helped decide which one to buy.
Yes.
School, bus station, many other places of my city with free internet.
I also used to steal neighbor’s WiFi for years. Since I was 8 until I was 14. But for larger downloads I used public networks. By larger downloads, I meant >50MB. Yeah. Huge. Though I was watching YouTube quite a bit, usually at 144p/240p. In the end I still spent quite a bit.
Currently I just use mobile data. Still no normal internet connection at home. But hey, my school finally has symmetric gigabit. The only problem is, most classrooms are connected via Fast Ethernet.

Also something to consider is that each federated instance keeps their copy of that content. If the content is some hateful propaganda, those instances may also be held legally responsible for that. Same with piracy communities.
if you are willing to put work into yourself.
Is my guess.
Certainly better than nothing. Going to a therapist can be hard, both mentally and economically.
Gen Z.
Don’t care about generations too much. It just creates (often false) stereotypes, like any groups of people.
