My wife and some relatives? Along with countless other people… We have a zero electronics devices with fruit on them -policy, in this household. But we do provide Lightning cables for guests… I mean MacOS doesn’t even run on a Thinkpad without several stunts and a day of work involved… You need to patch the UEFI, do something to the graphics, patch the ISO, or happen to have the exact right model. And it violates the terms and conditions. So MacOS isn’t really an alternative, is it?
Whatever people do on computers… Surf websites, do emails, online-shopping, organize documents, vacation pictures, paperwork, type letters, draw diagrams, watch videos, do video conferences, stuff related to hobbies… I mean she isn’t a programmer or designer by trade or anything like that, but computers are just useful tools for a lot of things.
Nah. She doesn’t. And I think the days of Blogs and personal websites are mostly a thing of the past. These days people doomscroll on Instagram. But I have some fond memories of the good old times as well. I used to have friends (of different genders) who would write publicly about technology, sugar-free recipes, I knew someone who did styling videos on Youtube. But that toned down as we all grew older and got other things to do, and the internet changed as well.
Me too. I guess the internet is going to change soon anyway. AI Slop is going to displace a lot of things. And these cooking recipes don’t really work. So there will be a demand for genuine, human content. And the only way to tell is if you have some connection to the creator. So we might see a revival of human connection online. At least that’s what I hope will happen… And seems lots of people are fed up with social media as well.

What does your wife usually do on the computer?
Whatever people do on computers… Surf websites, do emails, online-shopping, organize documents, vacation pictures, paperwork, type letters, draw diagrams, watch videos, do video conferences, stuff related to hobbies… I mean she isn’t a programmer or designer by trade or anything like that, but computers are just useful tools for a lot of things.
Wen I was a kid, my mom had a website where she talked about different pies she invented, or something, I don’t really know.
Does your wife have her own website about things she made?
Nah. She doesn’t. And I think the days of Blogs and personal websites are mostly a thing of the past. These days people doomscroll on Instagram. But I have some fond memories of the good old times as well. I used to have friends (of different genders) who would write publicly about technology, sugar-free recipes, I knew someone who did styling videos on Youtube.

That sucks, I miss blogs a lot, we should all do blogs again.
