I never said one should refuse texting, I said one shouldn’t refuse calling. And as for my technological aptitude, I think I do quite well. But go off.
I mean, I’m not a programmer or anything like that but I can be comfortable with just about any OS you put in front of me with minimal time to familiarize - though admittedly I’m most comfortable with any of numerous flavours of Linux desktop/Android, and least enthused about using Windows. I 've got a lot of practice problem-solving though nowadays that seems to be less and less frequent.
I’m not great at touch typing as I have a tremor, but thankfully I have friends who know they can text me but I’m likely to call them back if I need to reply in any depth. On a physical keyboard my tremor doesn’t really interfere with my ability to type though; actually I enjoy typing on a physical keyboard and recently upgraded to a Thinkpad so it’s been better than ever.
I do occasionally use scrpy so I can type on my phone from my laptop, but that’s only practical at home obviously.
edit: Also, I’m kind of laughing to myself at the thought anyone could think a friggin trans woman on the fediverse could possibly be inept with technology :P
Imagine thinking that a smartphone is required for SMS. I remember back when smartphones were just getting to market in the 1980s, don’t you?
Levels of idiocy to that magnitude are a clear sign of basic technology ineptitude. With that said: who typed this comment for you?
