  • I never said one should refuse texting, I said one shouldn’t refuse calling. And as for my technological aptitude, I think I do quite well. But go off.

    I mean, I’m not a programmer or anything like that but I can be comfortable with just about any OS you put in front of me with minimal time to familiarize - though admittedly I’m most comfortable with any of numerous flavours of Linux desktop/Android, and least enthused about using Windows. I 've got a lot of practice problem-solving though nowadays that seems to be less and less frequent.

    I’m not great at touch typing as I have a tremor, but thankfully I have friends who know they can text me but I’m likely to call them back if I need to reply in any depth. On a physical keyboard my tremor doesn’t really interfere with my ability to type though; actually I enjoy typing on a physical keyboard and recently upgraded to a Thinkpad so it’s been better than ever.

    I do occasionally use scrpy so I can type on my phone from my laptop, but that’s only practical at home obviously.

    edit: Also, I’m kind of laughing to myself at the thought anyone could think a friggin trans woman on the fediverse could possibly be inept with technology :P











  • What about climates that are freezing cold or hot and humid asf like, most of the year (almost always damp), and also 2 weeks each of spring and fall (should be pleasant but actually just extra windy, wet, and miserable)? What word would you use for this special awfulness? (I hate all the seasons; would love to live somewhere milder; might move to the Yukon for more humane summers but I hear the mosquitos are savage and I’m afraid of bears).
