So we’re back to the 80s. Now, can the US market pick itself back up?

Totally agree with you that everyone in the fediverse should be working together. Especially the amazing devs.
On Android, software can be made with free tools, released on Github/Gitlab/Forgejo/etc, and pushed into an F-Droid repo. Heck, you might not even need the F-Droid side, you can just throw an APK up at your free host of choice. Plus, I don’t think there’s a language restriction in terms of what can be compiled for Android (I’ll make my ignorance known here). Apple is not an open platform. One language is accepted, they have one way to develop software, one (overstuffed) place to download that software from. It is much more difficult to develop an app for iOS compared to Android. And if you try to monetize it, people will use a PWA.
To make it clear, this is not meant to be a debate on Apple. This is just my take on why free fediverse software is much more likely to show up on Android.
That’s how social media works, yes. Network effect is real.
I don’t really have a positive thing to say about people who want to stick to Apple as their primary device ecosystem.
It really is, from my limited use. I use the PWA on my (very old) phone and Firefox on desktop. But I like Interstellar.
Oh, I’m aware that both Lemmy and Mastodon have good apps. I’m just pointing out that if the ‘argument’ is that alternatives don’t have an app, MBin does have one.
Why aren’t we suggesting Mbin over Lemmy, actually? Because it seems like it has the same options. And Mbin even has an app (not just the PWA function)!

Not enough masks for 2022, but you’ve captured my experience under the lockdowns.
Sure. And they’ll get paid by the person who chooses to buy it to release it, or by the library.
So that everyone can experience it mostly. Potentially, yes, they could profit from it too, possibly, yes.
I just want to make it clear, I am a hobby writer who regularly releases my work PD.
There’s no problem. Those books should all be in the public domain anyway.
I can’t think of any others that I would openly suggest.
Pannen, is that you? :-)
Boy got so wholesome he did a Mario 64 triple jump because of this girl. I wish them the best.
That would make Windows 11 only “bad”, rather than “totally unusable.”
Who’s also got two active channels on YT.
She’s about to be so fired. I wish her the best.
