@stux nope. In fact, phone-autofill (like Apple Pay) is some tasty tasty stuff. I’m frantically trying to find a way to de-Apple, de-Google, de-Meta while retaining that.

@stux

Nope. No phone purchases.

Nope. No laptop purchases.

Gaming grade desktop with a LAN printer for printing receipts only.

@MarcelNBG @piyuv @stux This work with user agent switching as well I'd assume?

[lopta@mastodon.social]

@stux Considerations include whether I might need to open other documents or windows to look things up or whether I'll want to print or save the end result.

@stux I'v heard about two girls wanting to travel to Kos, so they sat at the airport and waited for a cheap travel to show up on the website. One of them found one and booked on her phone.
Problem was the phone autocorrected Kos to Kosovo and she didn't notice.
I don't think she was allowed doing the bookings after that

@stux
I don't do any banking or buy anything on my phone. That is reserved for the computer. Can't trust the phone.

@stux
I never buy anything on a phone or tablet. Using a Smartphone since 2000. Tablet since 2006.

@stux I don't like to order anything bigger than a burrito on my phone. Even then, I might at least switch to my ipad (easier to see what's going on).

[canleaf@mastodon.social]

@stux Because tickets on phones are more expensive than on the computer.

[cafechatnoir@mastodon.social]

@stux

Yes! Some things need the Big Internet.

[lispi314@udongein.xyz]

@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?
