Not technical, but always interested in technical advances.
I'm a data analyst that's started to do more data science stuff (learning SQL/python) but not sure I would quite class myself as technical yet.
Non-tech background sort of? Work in games but on the localization end of things.
Yeah, I agree. I'm a programmer, and I too would also expect the majority of people using decentralized platforms have a technical background.
Not in a technical here - I've worked on jets and cars, have done retail management and now program management in the public sector. Though my dad was an electronic engineer in silicon valley in the '70s and '80s so our family adopted technology early and I learned to code very young, but tech stuff has remained a hobby rather than profession.
I don't have much technical background, but wanted to share somewhere that... last month, some news apps on my Android 13 phone stopped loading; most importantly, Germany's Deutsche Welle, but also another public broadcasters'apps from Germany, and to a lesser degree the British BBC. I live and I'm from the country south of the border of the US, and my ISP used to be the dominant one (not anymore).
Checked if the apps would run fine on my phone's network, not the landline ISP. They did. They also ran smooth with a VPN, an integrated proxy, and finally, with another ISP, after I cancelled with the previous one. So, I guess it may have been the dominant ISP. Other news apps and anything else ran fine.
Are you used to these things happening every once in a while and I shouldn't make a big deal of it?
Best wishes

I'm associate director at an academic think tank. But I've always been interested in technology and have recently decided that i want to pivot to cybersecurity. I've got a long road ahead of me so here i am!
Work in a chemical factory making soap. I'm a supervisor for a night shift. Been working factory since high school.
Sounds fairly technical to me.
I'm far from a technical background. I make storyboards and concepts for ads and animations. Mostly related to graphics and illustration. Sort of a digital art director.
At the same time I do all my work on a tablet + computer and am a huge tech enthusiast.
