and, at the end of my career, full Gimp, runnin ' a bridgeport/prototrak, from a stool manning the "re-engineering, rework, and howdidja do THAT!" spot.

Please don't call yourself a Luddite. The Sons of Ned Ludd may have feared the power loom, but it was bigotry fueled and funded by fear.

Basically, I've spent decades in technology watching well dressed mental defectives belittle workers (like "toolmakers", "master machinists", "industrial electricans" and the 75 known species of medical techs and specialists) by bullying them like the "mean girls".
Odd Girl out explains most of it, very well. My addendum to the science?

Around the time that puberty hardens muscle, the beaten down male victims of bullying develop lethal capability, and incredible motivation to acquire same. Testosterone, isn't the cause, but it's a hot cam and tuned exhaust for hard muscle and not takin no more shit!
So, the bully faces a choice: give up the sport he loves *, or undergo a "sex change" in his bullying style. Can't be a "good man" if you'll volunteer to cut off your own nuts, in order to keep yelling " NO BALLS FOR YOU" anytime they see a "pride" flag. So, the sportsmen who wish to continue, embrace the femininine style of brutality to enforce their vision of masculinity.

(Authentic language warning for bigotry, irony, and sarcasam) "So, ta beat up FAGGITS, you got to be worse of a FAGGIT! What the fuck, that's so unfair!!!!" ) Get ahold of yerself, there, III (Trey). Stop proclaiming that gay-bashing is love, when it's really misanthropic BDSM. Now, get yourself cleaned up and squared away. The goofy kid you were "on about" last semester, did his "Aggie" time on a hay crew, and if he sees you in the wrong light, you'll wish he'd gone to advanced karate.

Got no time to jump start the shuttle next week. Let's check up on that.

One of my questions in the interview is:

Q7. Are there any challenges you have with finding posts on DU? If so, what are they and what did you do to overcome it?

It sounds like you have a major challenge with accessing via mobile device.

I don’t go searching. I read based on the title and try to take a look through all of the latest and skip those that do not look interesting.

My question is how do you know what you are searching for? Do you see news elsewhere and are on a quest for a posting on DU? It seems like searching for tweets.

Everyone's use is different - there are no bad answers here.

When I'm talking about finding something - it could be trying to find a post or content you know about. An example might be finding the results of one of the photography contests, or one of the editorial images that EarlG makes from a few weeks back. Or, maybe finding a post you wanted to reply to. People do this differently and I'm trying to understand what works and what does not work. And if there are work-arounds what do they do?

Kind of frustrating. (Safari browser, if that's important.),

screen.

i've looked, but since i'm on my phone, not sure where it is
so i quit looking
🤔

the format, I think we both use the mobile format, therefore it's unavailable.

I figured out how. You can go to any Forum and click on Search This Forum, then change the Search parameters to whatever you want/need.

and I did when I used my desktop more,
but if you're on a cell phone it's really tedious. First I have to switch to desktop mode just to access it, then zoom my screen in on the search function, do the search then switch back to moble mode which isn't exactly easy when the screen is compressed. The search just isn't there on the phone so I only use it in extreme circumstances.. whatever that is.
I'm glad to take the survey but as you can see I'm limited by my device.

You can go to any Forum and click on Search This Forum, then change the Search parameters to whatever you want/need. I'm not great with computers or my phone, but that works for me.

I just look for the search box on the main page. Well there you go. Live and learn.

It would be great if you could integrate it into the mobile platform.

I am curious about how people do that as well...

L-

National Anthem Democratic Underground, it will pull up the most recent posting. Or I can change my settings, which personally I can't stand on my phone, I find it very hard to use.

don't use the search function at all, so he needs your responses, too.

BTW, it's a quick & easy survey.

I particularly remember a session with some IBM representatives who were showing off the then brand-new IBM PC to small groups of students at a time.

Much has changed since those days...

and flip through pages of posts, get lucky, or get tired and give up
pretty futile

so I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to help.

Lithos asks questions about whether you can use search successfully, so even if you can't, it will help him to know that.

cannot participate in a survey.

so even if you don't, it's still useful data. Thanks.

I use it for that as well.

function available. Not sure what help I could offer.

I use it.

Sometimes have to play with word selection to find applicable topics on DU.

I somehow accidentally submitted mine only halfway finished. I’m sorry. Should I do a new one or ??? Didn’t even get to the Search questions, which I assume are most important.

Stop.
Go back.

Then your methodology is sound.

and gave it up as a lost cause. Sorry.

Since I'm on MIRT, I use Advanced Search all the time, if that helps, and it would be nice to give back to Lithos who has given a lot to DU.

Always happy to help Lithos (as well as you guys).

Then again, this was the first online survey in years I've been asked to complete by an individual, and not some company or other asking me all manner of personal questions pertaining to my finances and shopping habits.

At any rate, I hope I was able to help with your research. Best of luck to you!

select only because "seldom" wasn't an option.
But in any case, I'm glad to help, and I wish Lithos all the best in his endeavor.

I want to post in Breaking News has already been posted.
