in my area and circles of luddites, most of the skepticism of computers was based on the limited headlines they saw on mainstream news

this dictated whether they wanted to spend any energy learning that a different reality was also happening and possible, this dictated whether they wanted to invest their resources into personal computers or upgrades

you can argue the empirical quantity of my experience, it is also the same behavior described about people averse to crypto: the negative sentiment and actions they are bombarded with doesnt compel them to be interested in seeking a different reality

and how much of that was due to Windows having garbage security protections?
