Ok so it's apparently technically impossible to make it so that your website cannot be accessed by a smartphone. Even if you have some sort of script going on it's not 100% foolproof. Which leaves out one solution: build your website to be as unfriendly for smartphone browing as possible

Despite my luddite tendencies this isn't meant to be a "smartphones are ruining society blah" take but I do find it kinda interesting how quickly they took hold of our material culture and how we conceptualize it.

Like I'm so tired of Spotify, and I figure it's cheaper in the long run (and better for artists) to buy CDs or digital albums/songs I like enough to pay money for than to pay for a subscription to a streaming service. Then Id still have the option of streaming music on free mode if I wanted, but I wouldn't be beholden to anything. In fact, I'm lucky enough to be in a position where, at the moment, the only major barrier to this idea is my phone's internal storage capacity.

Which is actually where I'm going with in this post. Because I can easily remedy that problem by buying a decent mp3 player for like 20 bucks. I was actually amazed to see that A.) they still make them and B.) these things have like 64 gig storage now. However, my immediate reaction was to go "oh but then I have to carry around a separate device just for music". Which like I used to do. My first cell phone was a "for emergencies only" track phone, and I didn't get a smartphone until I was 16. I saved up to replace my hand-me-down mp3 player with an ipod touch when I was 12, and for years I carried both the phone and the ipod around with me. I even handed both in when teachers collected phones, and didn't really get why everyone else thought this was so funny until years later.

Anyway, I just find it wild that I went from "2 separate devices as default" to "2 separate devices as strange" in like a decade. I wonder what other, less obvious, examples there are of this phenomenon in my life.

And because I couldn't turn archaeologist mode off if I tried, I wonder if people experiencing long-distant technological revolutions ever looked back on their old tools and went "wow I used to use this?"

A small headcanon: Different people that get digitized see the digital world differently, their brains struggling to make sense of what's happening. The first Tron film is seen from the eyes of Kevin Flynn, and Tron Legacy is seen from the eyes of Sam Flynn. If we were to see the Grid in Legacy from Kevin's eyes, it would look similar to the 80s version.

doing computer or internet stuff on desktop vs mobile app for me is like… it’s hard to describe but it feels like on desktop you can access the meat and innards and full functions of the technology way more and you can mess around with it and stuff (even though i’m not good at that) whereas on apps it’s just presented to you in one polished whole and you can’t even do anything with it. you can’t even install adblock
