Hahahaha. It’s a lazy term for sure, with a thousand different definitions.
Discussion
Like pleb.
Lol but who is a pleb? Who is a normie? I know we all use these terms freely but they can’t be taken as anything serious in actual discussion about how things are built. Is it meant to refer to the dumbest fucking morons in society who can’t even manage to tie their own shoes? 😂
Context dependent. I’ve recently had pointed out that context is important and I might need a new less contextual term. 🤣
Lol 😂 I think it’s become a catch all for the average casual user, but even that seems like a huge net to cast.
For me it usually means “non-tech/political” people. The folks who watch the news and believe it.
But it isn’t defined the same everywhere, so I agree its utility is limited, as I recently learned.
Lol yea that makes sense 😂 I just know that even Twitter is still confusing for a lot of people that would probably be considered normies. I think people will just use what they find useful, so things should be made useful and then improved upon for the people using it.
As a kid I had to learn to use commands to start and operate computers. People used to install their own dial up modems and other hardware as a matter of routine usage. Nothing came installed by default. Nothing was user friendly. But people learned how to use it and over time it got easier. Those are all “normies”
The average person did not have a computer when it was common for people to service their own. They were a luxury item. I made all my extra money as a teen doing that for them. Back when knowing how to make a computer do something made you a Computer Wizard.
We literally sit in exactly that spot in history on Nostr I think. We have a great thing, the early adopters are here tinkering.
Except it’s also Mac vs. PC all over again.
