Jelly20 years ago, normal people avoided technology and techies would jump on the newest gadgets as soon as they could
now, normal people buy smart toasters & coffee mugs while every techie I know is on the verge of retreating to the forest
kessler herd immunity@JellyTBeagle this year i got an unconnected mp3 player, rack mount cd player, and an analog desk phone from the 80s. i don't even have a use case for the phone it just gives me comfort
@kirakira Hell yeah! I still have all my old CDs and DVDs, though I gotta admit that I just ripped them to my home network.
It's still a pretty high-tech solution I suppose, but I'm at least in control of it
Ana Tudor 🐯@JellyTBeagle @kirakira Of course I mostly listen to the .mp3s I ripped. But I have them, they're mine, some of them are signed. You can't get a Spotify account signed at a concert.
I also still use the same phone I got in 2005 (SE W800i).
Even if the world keeps trying to force my hand.
My bank has made its internet banking app only. They told me to just get a smartphone, what's the big deal. Well, maybe a better idea to just get another bank.
Also, concerts with mobile only tickets... 🙄
