Queer Like The Slur

@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, 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.

@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.

Queer Like The Slur, I mean stuff more like messaging and video watching.

@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.
