I don't have any IT background if you mean that. I have a decent tech savvy and work in an engineering oriented field though.

I’m an art school student who writes creative fiction and messes around with old electronics, so I wouldn’t really say I have a technical background. Work-wise I’ve mostly just done art/editing commissions or taught at studios. I’m just kind of tired of mainstream social media so I’m taking refuge in the Fediverse, and I’m liking it a lot so far
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 work in IT at the moment, but I don't consider myself as having a technical background. I did have a lot of programming subjects in high school and college, but I did end up in a non-IT, but (sort of) IT-adjacent course in university (but ended up not finishing it because of mental health issues).
Maybe I should own up to my technical background? I am also the go-to guy for IT (mostly networking) problems among my family and neighbors. ~~But then again, I use PHP for most of my work.~~
Just a regular 'ol retail worker. I'm so glad Lemmy was here to save my lunch breaks from reddit.
I stopped doing the computering until around 2006 or so. At that point I was tired of slapping keys like some kind of psychology experiment bunny slapping the paddle in the cage when the light went off and on and off and on for them to spit up a food pellet.
