I used to think I was a 5/10, but then I tried to pirate a game on SteamDeck and I felt like I lost a lot of braincells. Spend like 6 hours trying to fix things and I accidentally bugged the internal speakers.
I think I’m at 3/10, linux (SteamOS) is so fucking hard to use.
I might be the most technologically illiterate Lemmy user ever.
Whatever score you give to youself, will be a demonstration of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
I think the opposite—seems like many of you on Lemmy don’t realize how bad the general population is with technology and are selling yourselves short. Even knowing what linux is puts you at a 6/10 imo, especially when compared to most folks (half of whom don’t know how gmail works).
Like the fact that we’re on Lemmy—a site that most americans probably couldn’t access if they tried—shows we’re all at least a 5/10 on the technology scale.
So what you are saying is my estimate of 8/10 is too low, right? Right…?
I laughed way too hard at this
Can confirm: I rate myself a 7/10. I know a lot about a few things and a moderate amount about many more, but there’s always more to learn…
The tech field is so vast, most people can’t even list the industries within tech, let alone being competent in just a small part of it.
