       A friend lent me his iphone to I could write my email address, I couldn't figure out how to get the touch to respond right, the contact app vanished, I couldn't find it in the home screen, it felt terrible to use, I said "is this Tahoe?"He gave me this glare that made me feel fucking old

       @neauoire I mean if you handed someone your computing environment you'd probably get the same level of confusion. (and we are yes getting old, we all are)

       @peregrine they'd have the reverse issue, they'd have no idea how TO CLOSE THE CONTACT APP

       @neauoire I am "no longer cares to keep up with new apps/versions/systems cause what I have works for me for <x>" old and I suspect it will only get worse with time

       @neauoire I was cycling back from Cambridge in the dark and in the middle of a cycle path was a Android phone. Locked behind a PIN, no details on it, so thought I'd take it home and keep it charged up.Back on my bike, it started ringing. But I could not find out how to answer the arsing thing. Still, I thought I would hang around to try to answer it next time.Eventually, the name of a nearby business appeared on the screen, so I found my way there. It was 2°C so after all the waiting I was frozen.It turned out that the owner never rang the phone, they just asked Google to make it sound a loud ringtone while they toured the premises. Where I found the phone was nowhere near the business.I got a similar glare when I said he could have just rang the phone and maybe someone would have answered. Understandable. Why would he trust people when he could trust Google instead?

       @eruwero @peregrine that was the joke I was going for, although I don't use vim myself.

       @neauoire Meanwhile I find it nice how your typical feature phones have effectively the same button layout as most landline phone (specially DECTs), that said I feel like I could end up passing it to someone from a younger generation and seeing the confusion on their face.
