Population and Housing

Gotta stay far away from comment sections my dude. Those places will give you brainrot haha.

Boomers need their internet privileges taken away TBH. Not only did they ruin the world and planet, they've now ruined the internet. Used to be "our" place to unplug (by plugging in) and have fun in a new technology, culture and world but then Web 2.0 dumbed down the internet to the point every dumb boomer in the world is on Twitter or in comment sections saying asinine things.

I am a boomer. I programmed an IBM 360 by typing programs on hollerith cards on an 029 keypunch. I bought my first personal computer in 1979. I built an acoustic modem from a kit. When did you buy your first computer, kid?

Yeah, I don’t think boomers as a group are really the problem here. If we’re going to blame anybody, it’s all the random people who don’t know anything about how it works, don’t care to learn, and who are pandered to by ill-considered features from people who should know better. For example, the way browsers are moving in the direction of hiding the actual URL of the page. Browser makers, as technical people, should know better.
