@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.

@stux it absolutely makes sense

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

[leoschuldiner23@beige.party]

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

@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.

@stux

I don't buy anything on my phone.

[missgayle@urbanists.social]

@VickForcella @stux

This!

@bencurthoys @stux
It's not just me that has that problem, then!

[phillycodehound@indieweb.social]

@stux This is funny!

[heliograph@mastodon.au]

@stux I never buy anything on my phone.

[bich@apobangpo.space]

@stux

I try to avoid making purchases on phone. Number 1, increase friction in spending money. And 2, I need at least one monitor, keyboard, and mouse so I can comparison shop across multiple tabs.

@stux This only applies to eva air where their website absolutely has to be running on 90s technology

[femme_mal@mstdn.social]

@bich @stux Smart. I try to reduce points of exposure where my banking and payment systems are involved.

I never do banking on my phone, and purchases by card over the phone are typically less than $150 per transaction. And always MFA security for banking.

@stux I don't buy anything on my phone.

@sheddi @stux the least - I mean literally the very least - these bastards could do is make sure the state is in the query string so it is preserved when everything is reset. But they never fucking do.

[jonhendry@iosdev.space]

@beecycling @stux

Or miss some fine print because it didn't fit on screen.

[jonhendry@iosdev.space]

@stux

Sometimes mobile websites or apps will move things. Like full descriptions of items on the eBay app. You have to click something to see the (usually inadequate) description on mobile. On desktop it's all on the same page.

I only order food for delivery and small stuff at Amazon on my phone.

[sgsax@mastodon.social]

@stux I don't generally buy things on my phone because I *hate* "shopping" on my phone. I can't see it big enough or clearly enough and I need more desktop real estate to make proper comparisons. So yeah, I wait to buy things on the big computer too. Signed, a Gen-Xer.
