I still am grumpy about Microsoft killing their windows phone line. Not the regular ones, but rather the ones that allowed you to dock it to a display and use a slightly stripped down Windows OS on a full screen. It could’ve actually changed how we use phones/ computers, but instead we have to have a separate device for everything we do.

Phones are already powerful enough to run desktop apps, but I guess it’s down to profits why we still don’t have a “swiss army knife” of a device for everything.

Weirdly enough, that’s kind of how I found out I had tinnitus. I had my headphones on and got bothered with the high pitch static sound, but when I went to unplug it, I found it wasn’t even connected to any device.

One of the apps is Luma for example. It claims it supports 3D scanning on iPhone 11 or newer devices, but doesn’t mention that SE 2 is an exception.

I know that SE2 is a budget device, but I guess I naively thought that it having an iPhone 11 chip and the newest OS could be enough.

Begging I presume. I don’t know how it is in the States, but here in Europe there’s a solid enough support system that there’s no need to beg for cash.

Hmm, perhaps you’re right. When it comes to explaining the fediverse itself, that’s definitely a no-go. I figured it’s just visually easier to grasp it when thinking of Discord.

Personally I found that thinking of Lemmy as a bunch of Discord servers really helped. Both have servers and “channels” inside them. Perhaps “The office” meme of “Corporate wants you to find the difference” would be fitting?

I believe this will be the course to avoid the dead internet. Even in my country, all of banking and voting is either done via ID card connected to a computer or the use of “Mobile ID”. It can be private, but like you said, it probably won’t.
