I think most all of us here on Lemmy are people with technical background. Most of my professional contacts remained using Reddit, Twitter and even excited when Threads launched.
If you are non-tech background, please comment and share what you do for life.
If you have tech background, upvote this to help promote this post so that we can find more non-tech users on Lemmy.
Work on/build racecars. Some of it’s very technical, but probably not the type you’re asking about. Also a woman. I’m checking off all the abnormal demographics here. Right?
Yeah the only other abnormal demographic I can think of is being totally normal and well functioning mentally.
But I mean c’mon, this is an internet forum, we are all nuts here haha
Username is great!
That’s freakin’ awesome.
I’m sure you have a bajillion replies, but I would love to see some of the race cars y’all build.
Ohhh what kind of racecar? I’m actually going after work to the shop to go scale our car. Cross is a bit off keeps getting a little loose at the corner exit.
Also a woman btw
Edit, just saw your other comment were racing very different cars but that’s awesome!
We should normalize what you do. Woman can build racecars or do any other work a man can. Great work, keep it up!
You’re my hero. I always wanted to work on cars. I ended up in IT. I miss repairing shit back in my tech bench days. Using my hands to repair, build, make better. What kind of racecars?
I’m a biologist, but have always been fairly techy in my own time outside of my work. Definitely not much of a tech person though, I can’t code or anything like that. Can troubleshoot most of my own technical issues though and built a PC.
Human troubleshooting (I’m a therapist). My dad is an engineer who always built his own PCs and gave me a pretty solid foundation for the software side of things, as well as basic car knowledge. Haven’t kept up on that in a while but I’m Tier 1 tech support for my parents (my brother is Tier 2) 😂
Non tech background here. I work in a steel mill and see social media as entertainment. A time killer.
I’m a stay at home mom, no professional tech background. I came here to get away from Reddit. I am considered the “tech support” for my family and friends though. :-)
62 years old woman, semi-retired, only work part time now. I was in the travel business. Found Lemmy thru a Reddit comment a few months ago. Felt the need for a change. Currently with Lemmy, Kbin and Mastodon, trying to find my place.
Non-tech Background. I work for a big union and migrated here from reddit, which was my only social media site I would use.
Arborist. No real tech background or skills but always been interested in tech trends and issues, so I keep up with those things more than the average person.
I’m a professional dev, but I’m also mostly shite with technology. So whether that counts is up to you I guess.
Research CRO Analyst.
I’m technical. But I would love to hear from people who aren’t. It’s impressive for someone who isn’t technical to be on Lemmy I think.
Advertising illustrator. So not tech related.
i’m a psychology student going to graduate school for counseling :) wouldn’t consider myself to have a tech background - tech savvy enough to build my own pc and troubleshoot common tech problems for friends, but not tech savvy enough to understand most open source technology
Hi, me from a decade ago. You can’t be sure!
I got out of school and worked various jobs as a counselor, then got roped into IT for about a year and a half to work with facilities who were transitioning from paper records to an electronic system. They wanted a tech-savvy clinician’s perspective to configure for the different hospitals. I’m back to counseling again now, but I loved that job.
No formal tech background other than building my gaming PCs or troubleshooting stuff over the years.
that’s super interesting! thanks for sharing - an opportunity like that sounds right up my alley honestly.
There is non-tech and non-technical.
I’m not in a tech field, but I’m in an engineering field and there is a lot of technical knowledge in that.
I’m an assembly line worker and have been for about five years now at different factories. Refrigerators, car parts, ag equipment, etc.
There’s a job opening coming up at a plant that offers college benefits though, so hopefully I get to join y’all in tech in a few years. Hopefully working with so many robots and machines will give me an advantage through sheer osmosis lol
