That's something I guess 😅👍

As long as Meta doesn't manage to EEE the Fediverse first 🤢

The white supremacists are running a campaign to help their elderly (quite a large user base) get digitally literate. You get a free noodling glove and a Substack keychain if you install X and take a 15 minute creative writing course.

"Threads had 3 app downloads yesterday, easily beating X's 1" — you're right, doesn't sound as sexy 🤔

At least it's not going to get sold here, or on Mastodon I guess, but it's not like the data couldn't get scraped by an unethical actor, right? 🤔

That sounds like a great solution 😃 Good luck with the writing!

That's not a half bad idea! 😮

How do you prop up the phone? 🤔

Maybe they need to be told about the alternatives, along with a cost/benefit analysis ™

Very cool! 😳

I think it might be a bit beyond both my skill-set and available tools 😅

I think I liked the thought of having one more than I would have enjoyed actually having one 😅

That sounds like a pretty cool setup! It's nice when there's still good use cases for old hardware 😊

Wow, this takes me back to the days of Eee PCs and dreams of having a tiny, ultra portable laptop 😍

I went down the rabbit hole 😬 This 10.5" CHUWI MiniBook X looks pretty darned tempting!

I could run a minimalistic Fedora distro on it, have it in my jacket pocket. I'd use it mainly as an Obsidian interface. Shame it doesn't have a SIM slot 😓

Maybe something to consider when my ASUS C302 Chromebook Fedorabook (fuck you very much for the EOL, Google!) eventually bites the dust 🤔

I feel the same way. 15 years of daily use.

Hell hath no fury like a fan scorned.

Come on, Pookie, let's burn this motherf*cker down!

I spent half a year in a Phoenix high school as an exchange student (technically just as a student, have citizenship, just happened to be born and raised in Scandinavia), and was there through all the summer months. My sympathies.

It is a joke, it's just unintended 😁

Should have used rust-free steel instead, classic Dusk mistake 🙄

Thank you for the insights! 👍

Strange, I'm not seeing that at all on my Android phone, neither in the PWA or the native app. Are you on iOS? Maybe it's a Safari thing 🤔

Really nice, thanks for sharing!

Do maybe ask her to research Substack, as they are a rather horrible company 😞

tl;dr: they really like taking money from Nazis, and the whole platform is teeming with them.

I can't offer much in the way of alternatives, but maybe someone else here can?

Seems to be very similar to his The Enshittification of TikTok post, linked here on his own platform (no ads).

I didn't do a full comparison, though.
