I mean they’re cool but honestly I feel like composing typed documents is one of the few things computers are undeniably great for (you can make mistakes)
Edit: I just considered how much modern printers suck and I maybe kinda 10% get it
i used my parents’ old one back in the day and it felt far more satisfying than typing on even a mechanical keyboard. also as someone with adhd, i think i would appreciate not having the ability to just alt-tab into something else if i was trying to focus
just gotta go to the right thrift store, I see them still. But idk, my feeling was always “this is going to be too big of a project for how much I would enjoy it”
I wanted one. So my family got me one. And yea, it’s more satisfying to type on. Printers are a shit (also, anything written on a computer is potentially readable by who knows who).
fair enough! Hope it lives a long life without mechanical issues, that’s what always scared me off. I do journal on paper for similar reasons even though I kinda don’t like hand writing. Same reason I use an ancient beast of a printer when I do need to print and linux on everything lol
why do you have a typewriter

You mean you don’t just leave everything open because eventually you’ll get to it? Alt-tab all the way.
whoops, that was just me forgetting how computers work
they’re cool, i would love to have one
