While I do use the mobile app to access [POSTS] from the train, the couch, or while huddled away by myself pretending to use the bathroom at a party, there is something about scrolling around SA thru a browser on a desktop PC that still retains some of that old magic for me- like visiting an old friend's house or touching that old scar on my face. Since we're now mostly in our 30s and 40s here, I thought I would ask my posting colleagues: Does Computer posting still exist, or have you since abandoned the Old Ways?

the computer is better because it won't auto-correct my lowercase proper nouns and pronouns all those capital letters from phone posting betray the aloof, disinterested vibe i'm trying to cultivate

Most of my posting is done while doing other stuff on my computer, occasionally I post from my phone if I'm like in bed or can't sleep or on my rare breaks at work. what I don't get is people who phone post without the app, like using the desktop site on a tiny phone screen. why

Sure, my compaq presario is beige, nothing else in the room is beige. Yeah, it’s a 286, but you know what? It’s got a poo poo hit aftermarket soundblaster card. Floppy disks are supposed to flop. Yeah it’s got the other kind of drive too, how else would I load Netscape from 6 disks?

Posting from a phone or tablet is a huge pain in the rear end if you're trying to do anything other than a basic text post, like embed images and poo poo

I probably use my phone less than 99% of people in their 30's. I look at it maybe once a day. But this is due to the fact that I'm strapped into this posting station for the entire day with my eyeballs trained at multiple hellscreens so it's not like it's an accomplishment

super sweet best pal posted:I hate phoneposting, it's so slow. yes!!!!!!!! it's annoying to set up but whenever I am excited to live-post along with an event on TV like sports or something here it's so much nicer & more fun to have a laptop between the couch and tv than fumble around with my phone for 45 seconds just to write "gently caress!!!!!!!!!!"

I do a lot of phoneposting at work because I am on a production line all night and have decent amounts of downtime, but I prefer computer posting because I am an old man.

I read a lot on my phone even though it's loving hell on my carpal-tunnel-riddled corpse hands. I post on my pc though for the same reason. gently caress typing on mobile.

I have to phone post from the app because the only computer I have is my work laptop which is locked down tight as a button and SA is blocked.
