I got you fam.

YouTube. I know. That's the millennial in me talking but I'm serious.

Don't use it how it's given to you. Don't click suggested videos, use Freetube or Newpipe.

Don't let "The Algorithm" tell you what's interesting, find it. Subscribe to it.

Build your feed by specifically finding and subscribing to channels you trust and care about.

Cultivate your interests. Surround yourself with the news, stories, and goofy nonsense that relate to your particular goals.

This is what I do. I can't use the internet like y'all do. I remember the old ways.

I can suggest channels if you're interested.

How to keep up to date with tech trends among younger people?

I don't want to hurt people on purpose but I feel it a diservice If i don't say this. The trends of young people are the result of over socialisation (conformity) and the passing down of beta cuck tradition from their loser ass parents. I farted now breath that in thats the new trend. The downvotes make me so horney. You are a dominated people. Grow up be better adults. you make me sick. "Functional unemployment" nearing 25% in U.S., analysis finds You have been blessed by my mere presence on this platform. Repect yourselves and grow up.

It's quite easy actually. You just need to spend 90% of your day watching TikTok. /s

Seriously though what do you mean by this? Most young people 'tech trends' are just capitalism fucking them over, the screen time of gen z and gen A is insane. There is nothing interesting going on there, all the cool stuff is here on lemmy: Linux, open source, AI without the billionaire hype etc.

I'm a member of the younger generation myself and I don't understand why people so many people don't see it as a leach on their lives, maybe it's my neurodivergence that makes me have a different perspective.

Ask them what their 6-7 favorite features are

don't. most people probably need less technology in their lives, not more.

I generally assume these days it’s AI-reliant/adjacent and remain in my Luddite cave.

Example?
