Gregory's Server@samhenrigold I honestly don't think I know anyone outside the fedi who has purchased their own computer in the last decade.
They're a thing your employer chooses and insists you have against your will.

Queer Like The Slur
@grishka @samhenrigold I don't really see them at home so I don't know what they do there, but I suspect they don't have to spend a huge amount of time doing touch screen input activities. Bills only need to be paid once a month. Folks who do their own rosters and accounting are a different story (although not all, I know a lady who runs her business with a non-smart-phone only). But that once again comes around to the hardware being being necessitated by the business.

@grishka @samhenrigold in my community text based messaging is not huge. Email is primarily for invoices and rosters. Re watching videos, I think most people here have some kind of smart TV and only watch what comes with subscriptions. Just goes to show how different subcultures can be I guess. The last place I lived was nothing like this, most people had fairly new computers for themselves.

@grishka @coolandnormal @samhenrigold a lot of people just use their phone, maybe an ipad |
Queer Like The Slur, what do these people use for internet at home then? Do they really not consider touchscreen text input a form of torture? That is to say, 95% of people I know own some kind of computer, use it on most days, and have bought it themselves in the last decade.
