I resonate with that point, since I do a digital art/tech class, which uses Macs. I find app crashes and the inaccessibility of certain menus quite infuriating, i even somewhat rage internally for a while until i either quit what i was doing or search it up.

When my 8 year old Fedora laptop freezes, crashes, or sound drivers crash like what happened yesterday, I stay very calm and think of a solution, such as updating and restarting.

even if I haven't built the OS myself or really customised it at all, i find it more calming that i have options to completely change the software compared to locked down OSes.

I definitely agree, though I'd also add the Australia/New Zealand region as well, since we are also reasonably heavy users of phones too. Also I'm from Victoria, Australia by the way, it's pretty fascinating how diverse the internet is :)

Clicks on website for super specific information you need quickly

Attempt to scroll

Signing you in with google with an account you didn't know you had

Page restarts

Page lags for a few seconds

Manually press sign out button hidden under 3 different menus

Wait for page to reload

Somehow remember the information you were looking for from prior knowledge, so now you no longer need the website

This happens to me so fucking often, it's so infuriating, especially when I am passionately researching about some random topic or getting some info on how to do something in a game, it's painful.

I guess it lands differently in other parts of the world and is more nuanced than I previously anticipated, since, where I live we are quite agnostic between devices to message with, some use phones, some use tablets, some use laptops, and it goes on. As for my friend group, none of us communicated using phones until mid 2022, two years into our friendships.

Since we all moved to our senior campus, we are just now emphasising smartphones as a daily method of communication, compared to our previous default, laptops and desktops, but we normally use the same apps/sites we used to, specifically discord and Instagram.

Again, I believe it depends on the area, maybe in other parts they use phones much more often compared to us, or some may never use phones at all.

I'll probably switch my school laptop to Fedora from windows 11/tiny11 because why not, all of the stuff I really need for it can be done on a browser anyway. Also it'd be funny to confuse everyone around me about what it runs, and act like I'm hacking by using cmatrix Infront of them like a silly goof.

As a 17 year old who has 3 phones (somewhat strange story behind it), giving a child a phone should be either when they need it, such as when they go out more often or other events where they need a specific use, but if not, I believe 18 to 20 is not a bad age to receive one, since young adults are more likely to need to travel to schooling such as UNI more often and generally need more info about travel routes and to be able to message parents/siblings/etc.

As for my 3 phones, one is a galaxy S4 my dad gave me as a hand-me-down, pretty much used to text my parents exclusively, then I received an oppo Reno z from a friend who didn't need it, which I currently use as a games and social media phone, then the third is one is a galaxy a20 my dad brought home and said I could take if I wanted, since there were a few of those unused at his workplace, so I now just use that as a flashlight.

Woman are the health benifits to the nature of excercise

I didn't expect that, I was thinking it would be a lot worse, actually kinda wholesome

If I ever buy one of these, I'd only ever use it to encase in resin and put on a shelf as a comedic ornament.
