   We’ve seen where making computers “easier” has gotten us, maybe it’s time for harder?

   What if you had to be smart to use a computer...🤔

      @jjg I'd rather that you had to be nicer to use a computer. Pass basic ethics tests to do more than read mail, contribute to charities to send anything, pet a dog to be able to code. It'd block a lot of the annoying population.

      @jjg I'm afraid that's a very bad and elitist approach.

      It directly led to a destruction of some communities I was a part of. You cannot just exclude a lot of people because they don't have time to go through your LDAP config.

      You need computers to be _designed better_ and understand that bakers and schoolteachers don't want to worry about HTTPS and DNS. They want to be able to use computers as _tools_ at work.
