Am I a Luddite?

[hunter]

6. I have a flip phone and a computer I diverted from the e-waste stream.

Yeah, I'm some kind of Luddite.

The first real operating system I ever used regularly was BSD, a flavor of Unix, starting in the 'seventies.

When I quit Windows 98SE for Linux it was like going home again.

I've still got files and programs from the 'seventies that "just work," thank you very much.

Mostly I use my phone as a phone. Sometimes I use it for texts, but not every day.

I'm a great fan of the KISS principle because I'm frequently stupid and quite easily irritated, especially when something that used to work stops working for arbitrary or commercially capricious reasons.

Some people live on the bleeding edge of new technologies, I live on the long tails.
