Many people just use their devices as tools to type words and use the internet. We aren't interested in or good at software. Spending hours of our leisure time learning how to set up and maintain something new or different on a computer is as interesting to us as unblocking drains or learning a sport we hate. Please let us moan about AI enshittification or express a wish for a Digital Deshittification subscription service without yelling 'do it yourself' and 'Linux!' at us every time.
More than once, someone giving me (kindly meant!) advice on what I 'just' need to do has casually recommended that I use a 'spare laptop' while working out how to install the 117 mysterious software-thingies. It reminds me that we're on the same side, yet talking about enshittification in different languages. Lots of us don't have 'spare' computers or phones. We use computers like ovens or showers. They're functional everyday devices. If they don't work, we want a plumber, not to learn plumbing.
@CiaraNi hell, I do this stuff professionally and have done for a long time. I want my personal computers to be as boring as possible because after 8 hours of computer whispering I do not want to be doing more to get to a point where I can sit down and play a game.
