Those teens had sex.
People need to: (1) have capacity, like a single mother with 3 kids and commuting to work 3 jobs isn't going to switch even if it took less than a day, and (2) they need to see the value of doing so first. Lowering the entry barrier will help IMMENSELY, and then after that people are willing to put up with some slight amounts of effort so long as they know in advance it will be worthwhile.
Unfortunately a non-technical mainstream normie isn't going to know how to check their hardware first, and barely knows what software they themselves use (including the variety of plug-ins) on a daily basis, or how to know which ones they will have to give up using, and seek alternatives for.
If such alternatives exist. Like, on a mobile device (including laptops, or an Android phone/tablet), nobody has ever managed to tell me an actually usable web browser that doesn't burn up my battery in the background all day long like Firefox does - Firefox is an absolutely horrid shit app, which just so happens to be better than Chrome... barely.
And what program/app is more crucial in this modern era than a web browser? So when people see the state that the CEO of Firefox has put that FOSS program into, and the lack of anyone else (e.g. LibreWolf) making a better app - which again must be usable by non-technical mainstream normie users - then they nope right out and never bother to reconsider.
Note that the market share of people using desktops vs. a laptop or mobile where battery concerns are absolutely critical is dropping, see e.g. this article.
Or Linux skinned to look like it? (As if that is somehow much better? 😜)
If 30 is old then I am... nevermind! 😬
N-n-no!

He doesn't truly know, he's just tapping his hoof and we are interpreting that to think that he knows:-).

Well, "life as we know it". But for all we know energy rather than matter-based beings could have existed more readily back then, and perhaps struggle to exist now under lower density conditions. Thereby making that earlier era more habitable for their type of life, even as our current era is more habitable for our own type.

This illustration makes use of the double entendre of the techie word "cloud" to mean both a server farm and also those white-ish or grey puffy things up in the sky.

If this is not a good fit for the community let me know.
Edit: for people who can't see hashtags, this is programming humor about a website (where people mainly only care about how things appear from the perspective of the end-user).
(it really would be nice to see a more graceful handling of these)
Edit: and what do you know, 16 minutes after cross-posting this to !piefed_meta@piefed.social, Rimu agrees, changes the code, and deploys onto piefed.social to retain deleted posts. PieFed really is something!! (announcement post)
