Just a quick note: Tidal isn't lossless. They said they were, but that was a lie and they removed that statement and said they never said they were when they were caught.
I don't really see a problem with that. Also it shouldn't vibrate if you're already in the chat. So that really isn't a problem since you usually see that the other person is typing and usually wait for them to send the message as long as they aren't taking too long.
What's the disadvantage? I really only see advantages.
So here's an example:
you: hey
you: are you free right now?
other: nah. Sorry
other: but I shold have time around 17:00.
you: Ok. Call me when you're done. It's kinda important
other: Ok
The first message introduces a conversation followed by a follow up. As soon as you send the first message it's easier to send the second one too since you already introduced the conversation.
The other person then answers with a short answer where they don't really have to think about what they write and how they write it. You instantly get an answer.
So what? Every generation has their form of entertainment. How is this worse than reading a book or watching TV or playing a video game for fun? Or spending your time on Lemmy? Or really just doing anything for fun where you don't expect an outcome. I don't want to work every living minute.
Also yeah, you could learn a language a year if you do it every day but
It needs time to get into it
It's exhausting
It's repetitive and gets boring fast.
Social media is mostly used if you don't have anything else to do and can't just leave. So like on the toilet or in school. Also who says they aren't doing something productive while watching? It makes repetitive tasks less boring. So you can totally still learn carpentry while watching TikTok or anything really.
Time you enjoy isn't time bad spend. Why do anything you hate doing? How does sailing around the world or learning a new language makes you enjoy your life more? Also: how is sailing the sea more productive than watching TikTok when most of the time, you do nothing on the ship.
