Why do people do this?
It's almost like they don't understand what they're doing, they're just mimicking steps.
Why can't they read the screen?
Why even bother designing user interfaces or helpful error messages if most users don't look at them??

They keep this shit on, and whenever I use their PCs to help them with some issues I can barely use the mouse, first thing I have to do is disable it. Sucks if I forget to enable it back.. getting a phone call and being asked why they now find difficult to click on things did not ring too many bells the first time I heared this complain, or why the mouse or touchpad moves too fast or too slow.

People typically won't have as many images on their phones which means the same images get circulated more. Text wise, typing on a phone isn't as convenient hence people are more likely to write shorter and less worthwhile messages. This isn't to say short messages are automatically bad of course. But since phone users will also typically be on the move somewhere they likely won't read entire threads if they're long. I know I don't, if I'm lurking on a train or somewhere I'll just kinda skim through threads. I rarely feel inclined to actually reply to something because I don't like typing on a phone.

I also often see people calling messages really long when they're like five sentences. This is of course because they're reading it off a phone screen and it looks longer on there.

I actually have an old screencap that goes into great detail about this

___________________

Some problems with mobile users:

1) It's hard to type on touchsceens. This means people are more likely to make shorter posts, with shorter words in. This obviously leads to a lowered level of discourse.

2) It's hard to read due to the smaller screen and harder to navigate a thread than on PC. This applies to boards, threads and posts. A long post is more likely to be ignored on a phone as it is just so hard to read. If a thread is several hundred posts long then it just won't be read through, and the phone user's post has more chance of being irrelevant to the discussion. And it's harder to browse boards too, possibly meaning increased likelihood of duplication of threads as mobile users miss/can't be bothered to check for them.

3) Images. Many of us have hundreds if not thousands of images saved and meticulously catalogued. This is an image board of course. It's not outrageous to suggest that people on mobile devices don't have that many, and that they'e not well organized. Plus, it's harder to quickly save a new image if you don't have one that fits to what you want, or if you're searching for something in particular. Not impossible, but harder. So, mobile users almost certainly have less images, which are organized poorly, and it's a pain to quickly get a new one. So what will this lead to? Spamming of the same few images over and over again. As more mobile users see these, they'll save them and keep posting them too. An epic new maymay is born.

>>59652825
2/2
4) Easy to ban evade from. As OP said, or even just connecting to multiple wifi networks as they go about their day. Obviously this could be done with a laptop, and lots of IPs can be changed with a router reset. However, this is not a reason to allow those who can do it so easily and perhaps without even realizing.

5) Used when on the go so less likely to get deeply into discussion. If people can sit down at their computer and post, 99% of the time they will. Most people would only use thei mobile device if they're out and about doing something, perhaps browsing during their break at work or during a gap in classes. I feel this style of browsing, this dipping in and out will lead to lower quality of discussion too. If you've only got a few minutes you're not going to open a thread with hundreds of long replies, then type one up yourself and reply to comments. No, you'll just find a short funny one and post a short funny comment and move on. Then later when you've got another few minutes you might come back to it, or go onto another easily digestible thread. I anticipate someone bringing up public transport here, to which I will just respong with "Why the fuck do you want to post on 4chan whilst on the bus?".

Her:
>Anon my life is at an end I cannot receive email I'm losing money and work $friend says you're the best PLEASE PLEASE visit when can you come?

Tonight at 8pm? "No, I'm at my yoga class"
Tomorrow at 2pm? "No, I'm at the library"
Thursday at 10am? Friday midday? "Lolno, I've got a meeting then, and Friday is the girls' lunch"
Friday evening then? "Good Lord no, anon- my husband and I are at the opera"
Okay, the following Thursday, anytime to suit you "WHAT YOU SAY- I said this was an emergency you can't do earlier?!"

>>59652832

>Uses caps lock instead of shift to type
Fuck this is something I'm legitimately self-conscious about. The caps lock button is simply just in a more convenient position than left-shift, and there's something viscerally satisfying about double tapping. Is this something /g/ disapproves of? This is what I get for not paying attention in my typing classes in sixth grade. It's in ingrain habit. Something else I do which is probably bad is using the numpad exclusively for numbers and the ones above the letters for symbols. This is why I never feel comfortable on a laptop keyboard.

Icons look different, she's completely lost and forgot what a back button is and how to use whatsapp while she's been using that app for over 3 years now.

Gets frustrated when I try to explain it's the same fucking thing and everything is the same but slightly altered icons.

Middle mouse wheel can be tricky though. Occasional accidental double click or click and scroll. A lot of links don't need it either. It's pleb tier.
