Is standing to use your computer actually healthier? Or should I get an ergonomic chair? (alien.top)

I'm in Indonesia now and my place doesn't have an office chair, just one without a backrest. I was told that was a nono, but when I checked online there is a lot of information on how standing is better for you long term, and I do know people who stand and use the computer.

I care about my health, so I want to know what is the best practice. I can't get another chair on short notice. Do I continue standing for now? I use the computer most of the day.

Eh, do whatever feels comfortable, mate. Some people like standing, some like sitting. No big deal either way.

I'm concerned about developing injuries, mainly.
