Installing apps on…

macOS: I’m just a single isolated package! Just drag and drop me to your “Applications” folder to install me. Don’t want me anymore? Right click my icon and put me in the trash. All gone!

Linux: Want me installed? Ask the package manager. Want me uninstalled? Package manager. Got an AppImage? Just click it to run, then trash it to uninstall. Easy peasy.

Windows: I am going to infect your file directories and registry like the roots of a bamboo tree. You will never fully remove me. Go ahead and try the “uninstall” button in settings. I fucking dare you. You can remove the executable, but you will never fully remove me. I am infinite, and I will outlive Microsoft Inc. ten fold. Fuck you.

How do you type? [and there's a question at the end, if you're interested]

Hunt-and-peck, never taught, always looking at the keyboard

Hybrid style, never taught, sometimes looking at the keyboard

Touch typing, taught in school, rarely/never looking at the keyboard

Touch typing, self-taught, rarely/never looking at the keyboard

Touch typing, taught/self-taught, but still looking at the keyboard

Other (voice dictation, thumbs on phone, etc.)

Voting ended onMar 8

Context:

So today I typed ~4,500 words, and now my middle fingers hurt. I was never taught how to touch type (didn’t even know it was a thing when I was younger), so I defaulted to the hunt-and-peck method. Honestly, I feel kinda ashamed that I can’t type “properly.”

I tried learning touch typing online for a couple of days, but gave up—I don’t type often enough to justify the effort, and depression makes it even harder to push myself.

Anyway, I wanted to ask: how do you type?

And a second question: is there anything “normal” that you never learned, and it makes you feel bad sometimes?
