Retired military at a young age working property maintenance at a storage facility part time to kill time.
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!
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'm non tech, in a professional role. I just like computers.
I took a computer programming class for a semester in high school and was a Computer Science major for a month in college, but that’s the closest thing I’ve got to anything resembling a technical background.

I work in retail management lol! although I have spent p much my entire life around computers and am tech savvy :p
Electrician. I'm new here and looking for a good alternative to reddit since the whole 3rd party app thing.
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.
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.
HPC researcher but I suck, so am I partially technical?
Is telematican an heatpump-programmer a technical background?
spreadsheets and stuff but I don't know much other than how to google problems
Professional land surveyor. Work a lot with raw digital data, with some experience in various coding languages to manipulate the data. Plus I know computer stuff pretty well.
I'm a geographer and haven't been techie since it was considered technical to connect a VCR to a TV using RCA cables
I am a Social Worker. But Computers are my hobby since as long as I remember.
I work at the railways as an overhead line mechanic.
I am not a geek.
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 CPA and not highly skilled in computer stuff. The fact that I managed to join Lemmy, set up Jerboa and actually participate means that almost anyone can do it
