Asklemmy

I’m in marketing and work on company websites from an SEO and content development perspective. Nothing too technical but I’m aware of some of it even if I don’t know how make a server/instance I’m aware of it’s benefits.

Also, I’ve done social media advertising and peeking behind that curtain opened my eyes on how advertisers use our data so it made me interested in open source and community run projects over company run software.

Don’t have any formal tech education, but can write a simple Python program or build a simple circuit with a 555 timer.

I'm non-tech, but I was using the internet back in 1994 when you had to know more about how computers worked to get them to do what you wanted.

I work in tech but I also lied on my resume and have no qualifications, and also I wish I had been a farmer, does that count?

I absolutely do not work in tech. I'm not gonna share what my day job is, but it mostly involves talking to people, knowing product, and some lighter technical knowhow.

Through the years I've messed around enough to get some basic technical knowhow (how to plug parts into a computer, install a Linux distro, etc.) but I will fundamentally always be a squishy humanities geek.

I'm on Lemmy because the fediverse matches my political beliefs about how institutions should be run. I'm a big ol commie.

I am a student working on a degree in finance. Work in cell phone sales part time so I am kinda used as tech support but wouldn’t consider myself that technical

Advertising illustrator. So not tech related.

Social Worker

I work in a food warehouse. I have a little idea about technology, flashing consoles and stuff like that

I'm a Substation Designer. Non tech for sure. I had to get a coworker to plug up my monitors, I tried to do it myself and failed miserably.

Physical therapist assistant

I’m something comparable to a bus driver

Not me, but one of my closest friends is a professional handyman who is almost anti-technical, and I managed to get him using Lemmy.

Non-tech. Pubs / bars, arts, then generic admin. Now in a regulatory case working role. Can't really say much more without revealing my employer as it's very very niche (but not exciting, at all, trust me on that).

I have an Associates in Electronics. I graduated just as the recesion reared it's ugly head in the early '90's. With nothing else to do, I cleaned carpet for 20 years. I have dabbled in computers and programming in A86 but never got too deep into them.

Let's just say I know enough to mess up everything I touch if I'd let myself...

I don't work in tech but I do (I translate technical stuff). I'd say I'm very tech-adjacent, but nobody should hire me for any real coding or engineering jobs. But if you like to infodump about very technical stuff go ahead, I'll get sparkly eyes and start drooling. I'm also a tree-hugging hippy.

Mechanical Engineer here. Although, most of us are either kinda' into tech, or kinda' in cars. I'm definitely not into cars.

Nice to see so many non-technical users. It's good for diversity. HackerNews, Tildes, Hubski and Lobste.rs already cover that sphere pretty well.

I'm a college dropout, managing my microbusiness and screenwriter. I'm only using Windows notepad, Fade In Screenwriting Software, and browsing using Firefox whenever I stumble on my ThinkPad.

dont know shit about tech. most i ever knew was how to play games on the school laptops using a bunch of workarounds or loopholes

I’m in construction. Non-technical but I’m suffering/enjoying my way through NixOS. Been enjoying SSB for a while and always up for trying a new tech that could be an improvement over the corporate status quo.

Professional fundraiser, having worked in non-profit my entire career (and my university degree was in a social sciences field). I wouldn’t call myself technically proficient, but I’m technically savvy - I was an early adopter of the internet as a teen, and have been online in some form or another since the mid-90s. Fuck spez.

I'm a tech head, but just hardware kinda stuff. Power user, home theater, audiophile kinda stuff. Not a coder.

I bartend for money.

I am not at all from a tech background. I have a humanities/ social science educational background, I work in the organizational management space, for a humanitarian organization.

I do not enjoy a lot of social media, but I had been using Reddit for 8+ years, as my only social media platform really. I enjoyed it for the specialist communities focused on niche interests. I’m hoping to replicate some of that with Lemmy, which is much more aligned with my value set than a large corporate run social platform.

Lit major, no tech. Have taught kids, been unpaid home nurse, worked retail. I can turn it off and back on again, but that's all.

degree in Visual Art, work in digital asset management for a marketing (blech) studio. I'd love to get into a DAM position at somewhere less ethically awful, like a symphony or museum or something, buuut my position pays really well relatively speaking to other similar similar jobs I've looked at, so that'll have to wait until I feel more established in life.

took a couple basic comp-sci classes in college, though, and went to a coding bootcamp before I got my current position. running linux on my laptop, might switch to it on my desktop. I make use of bash for renaming files a lot at my job.

there's a lot about tech-heavy areas that interests me, but it'd drive me crazy to be around too much of it. I think there's a lot of good in the liberal arts that tends to get missed by the sort of hard rationalists that tend to hang out in tech spaces.

I'm a warehouse operator but I'm in love with tech since my first PC. I love open source stuff, I also use linux, I always root my phones to gain proper control over it. Basically enthusiast..

I'm pretty techy and work at a tech retailer but, I'm a Classical Music major and teach piano
