Ponytail has her hand raised, palm up, towards Cueball.]\nPonytail: Open-source alternatives are second nature to us foss nerds, so it’s easy to forget that the average person probably only knows Linux and one or two degoogled Android ROMs.\nCueball: And Firefox, of course.\nPonytail: Of course.\n[Caption below the panel]\nEven when they’re trying to compensate for it, experts in anything wildly overestimate the average person’s familiarity with their field.\n\npartly inspired by the replies to this post but i see this kind of thing all the time (shoutout to the person who once genuinely asked “who still uses google these days?”)\n\nmade with this neat tool",
