Lol!

[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.

@stux

I don't buy anything on my phone.

[missgayle@urbanists.social]

@VickForcella @stux

This!

[sheddi@mstdn.party]

@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.

[davidm_yeg@beige.party]

@stux

Same… but it’s not the *size* of the purchase per se, but the complexity: I’m not willing to choose from different flights, compare prices, choose a thousand options while doing the perceptual equivalent of peering through a keyhole for as long as I have a choice.

[deepseacreatur3@thicc.horse]

@stux but you actually get better prices on the phone weirdly!
Like it's some dynamic pricing bogus but a lot of the time i have gotten better prices on hotels and flights on my phone
