Ill steal some suggestions I liked from other commenters and add my own.

• Draw a picture
• Write a letter to someone
• Find home on the map and calculate distances to school, grandparents, friends, etc
• Make a simple song
• Design something simple using CAD software (you'd need to find something really simple to learn/use. Someone suggested a program that I assume allows you to design minecraft buildings external to minecraft)

And most importantly for me:

• Research one or several topics. Youd need to do the research yourself beforehand, as well as pick topics you know align roughly with your child's areas of interest, but if they gain the skill of looking up information for themselves and finding the answer, pretty much anything is within their grasp IMO. Maybe set this as the first one so they can apply it for whatever further challenges you set them (extreme example but e.g. "How to create dog in blender" if you set them the task of using blender to design something). On that note, maybe set 2 distinct types of research topics - such as technical tasks and information tasks. What I mean is: "how do i install x, y, z program and use it" would be a technical task in my opinion, whereas something like "why are farmers legally forbidden from replanting seeds from their crops" would be an information task.

Best of luck!

What am i confident i can explain in-depth using facts, or what am i confident i can explain in-depth using facts AND have the other person understand and change their view/opinion on? Two different scenarios

I mean, i also only post/comment on lemmy to elicit responses, am I a troll too? Thats kinda the point of posting/commenting. Hes not doing it for ragebaiting as far as i can tell. I also think it would be attention seeking if that was the entire content of his profile, but its not. He posts in communities about the community topic, and it seems to be adding value to those communities. He just uses a dofferent way of writing and you call him a troll, a well known one too.

Why do you think hes a troll? I stalked his account after you said that and it seems perfectly normal. Also in a previous comment he mentioned its to mess with scrapers. Not sure how viable/valid that is, but i see no indication of him being a troll, let alone a well-known one

Well i hardly expect the pope to be a smoker

I usually cant eat breakfast, it just wont go down. Im usually OK with just a big lunch followed by snacks following, though i do sometimes forget to eat lunch and realise late at night that I havent eaten all day

What part of europe are you from my friend?!?

If you know greek its a whole different title 😁

"Why should we give them back? We managed to steal them so they were obviously not safe in your hands. No, no, we'll keep them here for safe keeping."

That does make sense, but Im more referring to the people in the company. For example when I was working as IT, there were people who were still using Office 2016 at a time when Office 365 was already out for a while (dont... just dont... I agree with whatever you are thinking of commenting about this - it was insane). When we finally upgraded them all to 365 we as IT had to show them how to do their basic workflow stuff again because the interface was so different. Even microsoft, which is a software vendor (arguably one of the biggest one if not THE biggest) wouldn't deal with training your employees for something like that. In that regard, I guess its the same situation as an OSS developer who just puts their product out, provides the most basic support maybe in terms of github issues, and calls it a day.

My comment was more on the internal relationship between the IT guys who will create the training resources and then for a period of time guide the regular employee through using the software, and the regular employee just using the software, rather than the organisation and the person/group/company providing the software

In my experience its irrelevant for the computer illiterate whether its OSS or M$S... They'll always need handholding until they learn their workflow. At least my experience working as IT.

Of course as soon as an update changes the UI slightly they need to go through the whole process again xD

Y'all
