spreadsheets and stuff but I don't know much other than how to google problems

Electrician. I'm new here and looking for a good alternative to reddit since the whole 3rd party app thing.

Don’t have a technical background per se.

I have a degree in music education, and work at a consulting firm doing non-programming-language-based data work.

Personally, though, I am a very technical person who loves science and math. I have a tinkerer’s mindset; I love taking things apart and understanding how they work, then putting it back together.

I work in the office side of a distribution center. I’m far from technologically illiterate, but my knowledge drops off a cliff when I get outside my comfort zone. I know enough not to bother IT most of the time, so I count that as a win.

Reddit killing the 3rd party apps pissed me off a little bit, but their AMA about it really made me start looking for alternatives. So here I am!

Medical professional here. I am pretty tech savvy tho..

I’m semi tech related? Work in the graphic design industry. So I’m adjacent to some of the things here.

Retired military at a young age working property maintenance at a storage facility part time to kill time.

I work in retail management lol! although I have spent p much my entire life around computers and am tech savvy :p

I’m tech-adjacent, lol. Technically I’m in Operations, but end up also doing a little project/product management. I wear many hats, which in one way is. I’ve but in others is very annoying.

Lawyer here, but a lot of my interests are tech-adjacent.

I’m a cinematographer and editor so I spend a lot of time working with tech but very specific stuff. I’m still on reddit for now. At least until Narwhal becomes prohibitive to use. Fuck Twitter and Threads.

I work for an outsourced company representing a large search engine brand. The largest.

I am not on the tech end though. I handle partner relationships. Aka I am the company rep from a tech jugganaut, to people way more tech saavy than me.

I spend my days hoping I don't get caught out.

I'm an advertising copywriter. I don't use much tech on a day-to-day basis (I tend to write about deodorant, which is definitely on the lower-tech side) but I have some extremely limited coding in my background, and I like building PCs.

Half I guess? Graduated in a non technical field but I ended up taking a lot of CS and math classes. But now I'm not really doing anything since I've been depressed since college. There's probably a lot of stuff I could do if I could get over the motivation hump.

Writer. Have some very basic tech knowledge but mainly just had enough of reddit's bullshit 🤷‍♂️ lemmy is pretty easy to understand imo, I don't know how the fuck you keep a server running but I'm glad that many people here do so I can just sign up and shitpost.

I'm a registered nurse and came over from years of Sync Pro. Currently using Connect and I quite like it.

Edit: though not in a technology centered career, technology is very integral to what I do.

I have also been into computers and technology for a long time.

Is telematican an heatpump-programmer a technical background?

I’m a US Licensed Customs Broker (I help people/companies navigate Customs laws and classification to import stuff). I have been building and tinkering with PCs since I was a teenager though I have no schooling.

I’m a bartender

I am a Social Worker. But Computers are my hobby since as long as I remember.

Interesting question. I'm a software developer, but I just wanted to point out that reddit also started out very heavily skewed toward tech workers. The non tech people came quite a bit later for the most part. Even today from what I can tell, software developers are overrepresented on Reddit.

I'm in marketing haha, I joke that I'm my parent's IT person, but that's just about as technical as I get

Non-tech! I'm a buyer for a large wholesaler and distributor.

Well, I have a degree in tech. Work in finance. Tech hobbies, programmer second job

So I probably don't fit. Most of my working life was retail though.

I’m a master’s candidate in the life sciences and public health. I can’t code or anything, but I regularly troubleshoot my own computer problems, and I’ve built a couple PCs for gaming. The most technical my field gets in this sense is the use of R or SPSS for statistical analysis.

Non-tech background, currently a undergrad student, but formally trained office worker for secretary and business matters.

social sciences (anthro) background but have always been a bit on the tech savvy side and had tech support jobs
