This is probably not a terribly helpful answer, but on the iOS side, there is Apple Arcade, which is a huge library of “free” (aka included with the subscription) games that don’t have any ads or microtransactions. If there’s an Android equivalent, just give her that as her app store. You’d spend a set amount per month and keep her away from the predatory business models.
Concord grapes. You all know the flavor, because it’s the flavor that artificial grape flavor is based on, but I’ve only seen the real things in farmers’ markets in the Northeast US. They’re only available for a short period, and they’re amazing. A blend of intensely sweet and intensely tart.
They’ll probably bring a sad cup of water that used to be boiling and a Lipton tea bag. NYC, USA.
I’ve been on Mastodon for 5 years, and have a great community there. I also use WriteFreely, if you count that as social media—it’s really just a blogging platform, not a lot of interaction.
The only corporate social network I’m still on is LinkedIn, because it’s essential for my job.
This looks like a great movie. FOR ME TO POOP ON!
Sorry, there aren’t many opportunities as good as this one to bust out Triumph the Insult Comic Dog jokes these days. Anyway, I’ve seen the trailer far too many times in front of other movies, and it looks a bit crap. I’m willing to be persuaded otherwise but that is what I’m assuming.
What I liked about Reddit was that it offered the kind of threaded conversations that Usenet used to.
What I still like about Mastodon is that federation lets you find the community that is right for you, the way Usenet used to.
If Lemmy can offer both then as far as I’m concerned it will be the best resurrection of Usenet that I could hope for.
Wow. I don’t eat that much for dinner, never mind for breakfast. The egg, sausage and rice, that would be plenty for breakfast. Or the mushrooms and the soup. Everything on that platter and I don’t think I’d eat again all day.
I occasionally take the bus from NYC to a town in the Finger Lakes, and this is so true. I have been through so many towns that check off every one of these boxes.
To be able to hear the soundtrack. Like, if I walk into a building and hear the Psycho “reep reep!” I’ll get the hell out. But if I walk into that same building and hear “bow chicka bow wow”, I’m staying.
“Don’t regret. Remember.” From the movie “Portrait of a Lady on Fire.” Changed how I think about a lot of the events in my past. The director said that fans have come up to her and shown her tattoos of that line, so it’s not just me.
That was my reaction too. I haven’t seen it myself but I heard it from a friend who works in food service.

Ostrich is delicious. I’ve eaten it in a restaurant once and cooked it myself two or three times. It tastes like a red meat, but cooks like white meat, so you have to be careful because it can overlook in a snap.
