The child in that case is not the user (or at least not the owner). The user is the parent who configures the phone as they choose and loans it to the child. It’s no different than Apple allowing a business to configure a MacBook as they choose, including tools to monitor its usage, and then offering that computer to one of their employees. The owner of the device gets to choose the privacy settings, not necessarily the end user.

Safari, because it never gave me a reason to look for alternatives.

Man, I barely remember what I ate for breakfast…

But it had to be somewhere in the 1988-1992 range. I’m trying to remember if I was still in high school or in college by that point.

Yeah. I remember my friend and I running out to buy hard drives when the price dropped to $1/MB. We never thought they’d get that cheap.

As with other things in the fediverse, discoverability is pretty ass. It’s a bit easier on Lemmy to find something you’re looking for than it is, say, to find interesting people to follow on mastodon, but it’s still not great. And often, you’ll find multiple communities on the same topic and you have to try to figure out which one looks like it will be better down the road (communities are still pretty dead and empty, so you can’t tell now which might be better). In addition to that, the interfaces for interacting with Lemmy are pretty rough at the moment, though that’s not surprising.

So do I like it? Enh… I’d say it’s a 4/10 right now with promise of getting better. Will it? Who knows?
