<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://haunted.computer/@iximeow" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>iximeow</span></a></span> I suspect that a big part of the 'computer people' vs 'not computer people' split is similar to the experience eating capsicum. When you eat capsicum, it causes pain and your body then creates dopamine to counter the pain. For a lot of people, the dopamine effect is greater than the pain and so the overall experience is pleasant (there was a fascinating experiment a few years ago that fed people chillies and blocked the dopamine response: universally, everyone hated the taste of chillies, even people who loved them normally).</p><p>Everyone gets frustrated by computers doing the wrong thing for bizarre reasons (which may be a simple misnamed thing), but some people really enjoy the experience that you get after you've found and fixed the problem. Whether that joy outweighs the suffering varies a lot between people.</p>

<p>Will see if I can do the same for Bluesky too.</p>

<p>Had an interesting idea.</p><p>Since we auto-post to Mastodon, I&#39;m gonna grab the link, and add that to the bottom of articles so people know where to go for Mastodon / Fedi comments.</p>
