Not understanding the fundamentals of the tools you use daily is not a design virtue, it just makes you less effective in using them. This cancerous philosophy leverages ignorance and laziness to support billion dollar industries of greed, slop, and censorship. It enables corrupt morons to justify surveilance and exploit weaker people. And right now, it’s running blind and head first into a civilizational death trap.
I don’t know what you’re raging about, but consider this, do you know the internal workings of every device you own and use? Can you repair your car if it broke down? Can you rewire your house if something goes wrong? Can you fix the plumbing? Do you understand everything about your bike? Do you know the ins and outs of your own body? Do you understand your pets like a trainer would?
You call others lazy, but I guarantee you, there’s something they consider basic that you have absolutely no understanding of despite using it all the time.
These questions are all beside the point. People seek help in problems they know how to solve all the time, often in the interest of time itself.
But since you asked:
I don’t own a car, and they’re just another example of how we cuck ourselves in much the same regard by creating shitty infrastructure to support a modus operandi and economic status quo, that aren’t fit for purpose.
I’ve some experience in home electronics.
donlt cycle much these days but i spent many afternoons fixing them as a child; having begged for it in the first place there was no other reliable way to ride them again
no. but again, asking for help on such matters doesn’t undermine the point because i’m not saying you shouldnlt seek consultation to solve problems you can’t manage alone. To the extent there is a point about consultation, it’s that you should understand enough of the relevant terminolgy to be able to implement the advvise offered by the consultant (the doctor in this case).
having had a trainer (not my choice) for a dog, i can honestly say yes.
Perhaps, but computers are likely far easier to learn about than whatever that is, and infintely less expensive if you already have regular access to one. Think of it like this, if they were so hard, would so many of the dumbest people in public life have started out as “experts” in computers? Would all the moron libertarian crypto enthusiasts have been able to assemble their elaborate blockchain networks that process a whopping 7 transactions per second?
And please note, laziness alone isn’t a criticism/problem (it can often motivate efficiency), it’s when particular applications of laziness to produces results that require undoing; especially when the costs of undoing excede the cost of doing nothing at all
This is the energy we need.
New comers should never ever see or require a terminal.

It’s not a design virtue because then it would have to be a design but you are talking about a… Customer fallacy…?
