56 is long if you were born around 1901

Toothpaste. Try making that out of saltpeter and bronze!

Even non-social media. Find some local newspaper that can’t afford a website but cares about their readers

Apps have more permissions than webpages in general

• Better long-term storage
• Better notifications when closed or not focused
• Ability to make noise (I think)
• Ability to run background services

I have a bunch of stuff DRM-free and ripped from CDs I’ve bought. I’ve been against drm for a while, just takes practice to maintain the habit

What should anyone have done different? Not built for one of the largest platforms with the most users?

Yeah but it’s “we” as in everyone not “we” as in “Lemmy commenters”.

So the network effect will keep the average person on a locked-down phone that can’t run anything anti-regime

Fast, artistic, high-definition, simply stunning

I wasn’t officially in the scene but these days I’m a lower-middle-class miserable loner so it could be worse

Good thing there’s an easy and simple litmus test to tell between harmful religion and benign religion

Leave house

Immediately have to get in car, risk life, risk money, spend spend all my attention, wait a long time, just to have to take up valuable square footage downtown parking the damned thing
