General Discussion

Other than ebooks and streaming television I haven't contorted myself into any new "big tech" for thirty years.

My flip phone works the same as the first cell phone I bought. It's not connected to whatever email address I happen to be using. I only read my email as circumstances require. Email is not a good way to contact me.

The last radical change in my internet usage was precipitated by the introduction of HTML 3 in 1996. I've been on the internet since the later 'seventies and have had dozens of internet identities, "hunter" here at DU being the one I've maintained the longest. You can call me that in the "real world" too.

I'm a Linux guy. The last version of Windows I used on my personal computers was 98SE. I don't use Apple or Microsoft products unless someone is paying me to.

DU is my only social media.

I've probably got 90% of the internet, by volume, blacklisted. I don't see much advertising on the internet and none on television.

Whenever any shiny new technology comes along I ask myself "How will this make my life better?" My usual answer is "It won't."
