social media isn't the phone's fault.

it seems like you've confused hardware and software.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (6 children)

no, I'm not confused at all, I am meaning that the smartphone is the most accessible way to utilise social media, meaning due to its formfactor, it is the most convenient way to access it.

are you more likely to use a desktop PC using android x86 (just an example) or use a smartphone? its almost like using a smartwatch to use Photoshop, its not the same as using a desktop, you know what I mean?

You don't need to run Android x86 to access a social media site on a computer. What are you talking about?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

im just giving an example that has the same software, im not saying its better or that you need it.

[–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

except they don't have the same software. Phones use ARM, not x86.

(amusingly, if you had just said "Android", you would have seemed less insane. still insane, since you could have just said 'linux', but less. But even saying that would still make you insane, since the operating system isn't the social media, and isn't what you were talking about.)

I do understand that fact, but I used it as an example since you can utilise android apps with the same or similar user experience as a smartphone, I'm more using it as an example of form factor compared to chip architecture, as the latter wouldn't be fitting at all. Apologies for the confusion.
