@stux To me it's a matter of trust.

One simply doesn't do purchases on the phone, because it is not a trusted device. It does not have access to any banking information.

Too much proprietary malware.

@stux@mstdn.social idk im gen z and i do that all the time

[ranx@mastodon.social]

@stux for me "phone purchases" do not exist, period. But I'm a Gen X, what do I know right?

[semantikast@openbiblio.social]

@stux me too!!

[phantom49@mastodon.social]

@stux glad to know other people think alike somehow apps like Google Pay break this fear tho

[mxhdroom@mas.to]

@stux Yep, that's me through and through.

[jmvars@mastodon.social]

@stux i relate to this post on a spiritual level

[riese@soc.iotaomegapsi.io]

@stux I'm gen X. Don't get it either. My phone is a million times more computer than my first machine on the internet was. That's big enough. Innit?

@stux i'm no purchases or bill paying on a phone. bill paying and buying stuff is only done on a device not used for anything but bill paying and purchases and checking bank acct. i.e. a chromebook bought for that purpose bought on the previous bill paying chromrbook

@stux yes! I fear this will be the first time my children will call me an old man, "of course you can do it on the phone"

@stux Kayak is currently running a commercial on this very topic!

[bencurthoys@mastodon.social]

@stux my rule of thumb is, if it's going to require 2fa, I do it on my computer, because if I try to do it on my phone, by the time I swap out from the browser to the email/messager/other client or whatever to deal with the authentication, fucking android will have cannibalised the browser process for memory, and by the time I get back to the browser it will have reset the page DOM and lost all its fucking session state and I have to start again.

@stux
It me.

I figure it’s a result of how online shopping creeped over to mobile. There was a time where online shopping was relatively common but shopping via a mobile phone was not yet common.

[kaasbaas@mastodon.africa]

@stux it absolutely makes sense

[ox1de@cyberplace.social]

@stux I’m probably old, prefer my anything else other than my phone.

[leoschuldiner23@beige.party]

@stux totally agree.. 80s gen over here.

[vickforcella@mastodon.derg.nz]

@stux I made me a simple rule. No monies on my phone, ever.

Phones are hackable and stealable.

[canleaf@mastodon.social]

@stux And sometimes I need a bigger image of something which no phone can convey, this is not about purchases, which require sit down and a computer, but also having the possibility to see if it fits into my itinerary... Having a spreadsheet of your travel can and should be only done with a computer.

[missgayle@urbanists.social]

@stux

I don't buy anything on my phone.
