Nope. This website has a very specific demographic and a ton of more “casual”, non-tech/internet topics see zero activity in here, for the simple reason that there’s virtually no interest or demand for them amongst the Fediverse users.
Deleting my Reddit account made me look for already stablished forums on certain topics tho.
Why don’t you try with a whiteboard? If you don’t want it to be tacky for your environment, you can buy one of these hip ones from Sableflow, or you can make it yourself. Or heck, even those cheap desktop glass whiteboards from Amazon will do the sticky note trick better than an expensive e-ink reader that needs to be charged, a special stylus, has input lag, etc.
When I bought my iPad Pro I imagined I’d have this thing filled with gigabytes of handwritten text but that’s not the case at all. It’s not even the feeling of pen and paper that makes not want to use the iPad… it’s the immediate access to write and read what I want, that only a notebook and pen can provide. The iPad is filled with other apps and distractions, it heats up when you rest your palm on it, there’s always this anxiousness of balancing brightness and battery life.
Also, with handwritten messages you can convey so much more that it’s impossible to do with typed text. You can determine how fast or how methodical the person was while writing. You can convey emotions by how much strength you use or by the size and kerning of the letters, and also, a lot of the personality traits of the writer are mirrored on their calligraphy.
And yes, typing with a keyboard is so much faster, which enables me to ramble, which I often do I and I just did.
I adored the original XBOX but when 360 and PS3 dropped, one was a literal toy with everything stripped down and sold as proprietary extras, and the other was an amazingly powerful and open entertainment system with state of the art tech from out of the box.
Then yeah, the exclusives sealed the deal for me.
If cats grew thumbs, we would be fucked, lemme tell ya.
