Content making and Forum business

 

There are a number of things I do wish to talk about here this week.

Probably the first is that the Chromebook I bought was better specified than expected having a glossy screen more like a tv's and that it was the dear version that supports the use of a stylus for or other writing directly the screen applications.

The other thing really concerns our forum and that is handling different views is really one of the ways you can tell a good forum than one that's not because avoiding politics there are things we as individuals have our own strong views over.

They can include the differences around role playing and age regression/dysphoria which may show in terms of the kinds of activity people may seek out from others be it play or over any kind of sanctions for transgressing  boundaries while doing it.

Some may be looking for those sanctions in a preordained storyline, while others prefer them in the background coming in when they've crossed a line.

Another is given we are talking about adult boys mainly body hair especially on the legs where some people prefer to remove that thing we noticed sprouting in our mid teens feeling perhaps it makes feel unconfortable in our skins as in may ways still little boys - I have strong dysphoric reactions to it personally - while others feel little or no need to remove it.

To me a bad forum pushes a "group thought", making those who may feel different unable to take part and not having their personal feelings respected with little or no honest debate.

We don't. 

There may be as in a good many things in life a common view, a consensus, among most of us but difference is respected and ideas explored because through that everybody learns about the variety of views and why they feel the way the do themselves.

Personally I feel it is important to know why you feel the way you do (and why someone else may not).

Anybody who may take a minority view is always welcome and ought not to feel they need to leave over what is at the end of the day, a personal opinion of little consequence to others.

And before I go I would strongly prefer people to use avatars as there are a few of you out there who haven't uploaded one. 

It obviously needs to be Safe for work, but please do so.

A Boys Chromebook II

We looked at this around 2019 more or less four years ago which does look seem like ages ago as anything pre-pandemic does today but things move on in a number of ways such any sort of computer has a operating system to convert human instructions to requests and actions computer systems can use and they are only guaranteed updates for limited period that add features and improve security to known potential threats.

Given the amount our lives involving using computers such as using various sites to pay bills, buy things and deal with government, staying on top of such things makes sense.

That older machine had passed its last update for some six months and had a tendency to "lock up" inexplicably after a few hours of usage so looking for a replacement made sense.

 This is it.

It has a touch sensitive screen so you can touch, move and shink thing by finger power and not just the keyboard.

It's a bit thinner, it uses a newer power connector and sticks the manual turn on button on the right hand side like some bigger smartphones do but it still dos that open up and it turns itself on trick.

It'll take a little bit of setting up but once we're connected and loaded with my google account it'll be all there.

A boys Chromebook

The borrowed small machine stopped working on Saturday morning as I went to check my email account as you do which was a bit of a blow.

I found that little machine pretty handy because it's a bit like a Tablet computer such as an iPad but comes with a built in physical keyboard which makes writing on emailing, forums or blogging easier than touching a virtual one.
It also unlike any kind of Windows computer I've used took just seconds from switch on to be fully usable and it looks after its own updates with speed too.
Thus I decided to buy myself a brand new one made by Asus,the C202SA GJ0027 which features an 11.6 inch screen that I found about right for use say on a arm of chair or table comfortably and at the same time small enough to carry about which if you have fast WiFi or travel by bus or trains that have free access to it makes it easy to use.
I always detested big desktop machines for keeping you rooted to one spot and near enough everything I do is through the browser that's okay talking of which because it is a Chromebook it uses Chrome as it's browser which I really like.

All I'll need to do do is put some footie stickers on and it'll be the bestest boys toy for this one to go with this kewl case to keep it in when it's not being used.
