A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yeah, I get that, and hypothetically you could just use a mobile device for text creation, using your preferred method of inputting text (e.g. a swipe keyboard, or a stylus with text recognition, etc.) on the mobile device and then send it all to the desktop.
I asked about that, and I didn't get a definitive answer. The conversation was more like:
"You don't get it, we grew up with touchscreen devices, physical keyboards are outdated."
"So do you use voice to text or something?"
"No! You don't get it. We grew up with mobile devices!"
"But... How do you enter text!?"
"Nobody cares about your typewriting skills!!"
They stared at me.
I stared back.
The generational gap felt like the Grand Canyon.
