A thread for things that people who think that they're skilled with technology, but really aren't, do.

Python is a Turing complete language and is just as powerful as any assembly or C
Tell that to Zed Shaw
call it "tech"

install Arch
Bug their friends about privacy and offers to install an adblocker for them

They know a hell of alot more than the average normie
They know atleast when windows shits the bed nothing is actually broken, meanwhile lots of perfectly good PCs are tossed because the software is fucked
They can kind of code but get tripped up several times per hour and have to copy something off of stackoverflow.
The most significant program they've made is a tetris clone.
They are less retarded with computers than the average normie but a lot worse to listen to as they think they are experts
Use Linux
>use GNU/Linux with a riced DE and terminals open all over the place despite only knowing how to do apt install packagename, dpkg -i file.deb and screenfetch
>use FOSS over proprietary software for privacy and security reasons despite never inspecting the source code and the downloadable binaries being only ~50% reproducible on average
>install Temple OS once and call everyone a CIA nigger
>use "suckless" programs
I think this just about sums up 90% of Jow Forums.
It probably doesn’t help that when they demonstrate any level of knowledge above the average normie they are endlessly praised like they are some kind of expert
I personally probably don’t know jack shit above the average person on this board but every time I replace a part or reinstall an OS I’m treated like the next bill gates from the people around me, I’m sure the average zoomer has it no different but they let the shit inflate their ego
You are right. I could not have described it better myself

Web app hacking you gotta use the inspect element and the web console for the detection phase in order to understand how the various scripts and services interact together and if there are any redundancies left that would allow you to exploit old dev servers or inject into their database or template
>The most significant program they've made is a tetris clone
Me when I was 17. I didn't even have SO to copy from, so I had to use PD programs that included the source. :^)
If someone can do all of that thy're honestly pretty good at tech compared to the average user
i know fuck all about tech but i still get paid so who cares if i'm good or not
Mr. God told me to install TempleOS. You get out what you put in.
They
>rice everything or are ultra minimalist DE wise
>write custom CSS for websites
>create custom welcome page
>buy an audiophile tier microphone without any real use for one
>discuss about text editors
>discuss and/or care about programming language notations
>have strong opinions on programming languages
>are eager to give incompetent, idiotic advice about things like infosec/opsec, where all incomplete answers are wrong and downright dangerous
And yes, that's 90% of Jow Forums right there.
I worked at BestBuy and the male zoomers my age were the cockiest pieces of shit ever. Thinks they're tech experts because they work at BestBuy play games on PC (probably some of them still console fags) and know how to find internet porn. I quit after two weeks, unbearable.
My GPU rig could probably crack your wifi password hash in under a month, pleb
>>buy a windows 10 pc "for gaming"
Literally nothing wrong with this
>>use "inspect element" and call it hacking
Literally never happened before
>set their wifi password to 20 or so random characters because they think it's more secure
It is more secure
>it's more secure
A string of words is more secure and isn't as easy to crack using existing software.
Totally this. Jow Forums'll get mad.
Yet they still don't know how to partition a drive
>what is a dictionary attack
just stop
>ultra minimalist DE wise
>write custom CSS for websites (although I usually modify am existing custom CSS if one is available)
These are me, but I don't think I'm skilled. I just don't like clutter, and I prefer websites (and everything else) be customised to suit my workflow rather than modify my behavior to match that which a corporation expects of me.
But that list is essential Jow Forumscore
Ok so what am I supposed to game on faggot?
>set their wifi password to 20 or so random characters because they think it's more secure
Takes the advice of a second rate web comic seriously
