Oh god I’m sorry. I don’t think there’s any corporate IT job out there that’s safe from LLM AI and it’s snake oil peddlers.
Do you have a paypal or anything like that? Also check around your area for mutual aid. I’m rooting for you.
I do. The info is all here, for anyone who can afford to help:

Boosts help get it in front of people who can help, for anyone who wants to help but is as broke as me.

I an feeling I never even got the chance in the first place. Graduated in 2009. Zero jobs my entire life. Felt like I crawled out from this mentally ill hole I fell in and now well im yeah deeply feeling we have lost everything. Im autistic… was a special ed kid who benefitted a lot from changing policy allowing me into mainstream classes and required I have a qualified teacher and nothing much since.
We autistics have the lowest employment rate of any disability group. The way jobs are allocated is fundamentally dependent on neurotypical-style social interactions. We strike many neurotypicals as "off" somehow because we don't move or talk or think like them. I think we hit the uncanny valley, basically. And because they often make their assessments and hiring decisions on "gut feeling", that incongruous signaling is enough for us to be passed over...over and over and over.

I've been the lucky exception in that I can *sometimes* seem NT enough to pass the exclusion tests.

@thordis I tend to caucus with Millennials, though. I grew up without tech, but was all in once I got it.

I move like a hummingbird. But not like they would know with all the online application and no interviews… I think its cause I graduated from a special ed class… cause they can know that. And even knowing they could pay me sub minimum… they still wouldn’t chance me.
But I at least understand why people think Im on drugs when I saw myself on security footage next to a normal married couple… they moved line penguins. My hummingbird flapping surly…

I was captain cause the hummingbird motions. Its hard to believe I have ended up in states of being where I dont move at all.

@thordis The thing about this poll is that if you know Gen X at all, it’s that most of us can’t be *bothered* to do something. It’s literally a defining trait of our generation.
So the (current) 36% that is Gen X probably doesn’t account for the 4 out of every 5 GenXers who actually saw the poll.

Within the last 6 months there was a similar poll, it it was 67 percent boomers. So basically i think you're measuring your own graph, not that of the fediverse. Which makes it all more interesting, not less.

I guess you were right, we're all millennials.That's how this winner takes all democracy thing works, right?
-
@thordis Seems like I gotta get more of my generation (Gen Z) onboarded on the fediverse.
I hope, you're right.
This place could use a bit more of young blood and fresh perspectives.
-
@thordis I have to look up these categories every time. That all suggests to me that I'm probably a boomer, but no, according to the table, I'm Gen X and have experienced digitalization. Cool.

@szczurtorebkowy @thordis guess I am a Zennial then

@thordis I am definitely Gen X. Born in 1966. I've seen the format wars: reel to reel tape, vinyl, cassette tape, Laserdisc, VHS and betamax......
My generation ended up buying some albums and movies 3 times because the technology moved on that often!
