Hi! My less-than-10-year-old has their own iPad (registered under my apple id) and wants to be able to “text” with the rest of the family. Most of us are not Apple people though: Android phones, using some combo of SMS, Discord, and Signal. The little one doesn’t have a phone, so I think that prevents us from signing them...
I would suggest Element (Matrix) and if you want to step it up you can host your own server (synapse) for your family and still be connected with other servers through federation, just like with Lemmy. The good part is that your kid does not need a phone number to use it.
Other good alternatives like Signal do require a phone number.
I don’t think advertising the entire blog makes sense, but instead posting links to specific posts in the appropriate lemmy/reddit/facebook/mastodon community/group ao people get something out of it and then subscribe for more.
I’ve been on Lemmy and Mastodon for a little while but still not super active on either, and haven’t really kept up with fediverse stuff as a whole....
Today is the first day of our holidays. Tomorrow we pack to go to Germany. We’re trying to get the baby to sleep since 8pm, now it’s 11pm and it looks like he will fall asleep soon....
It’s a nice country and my parents live there. We have a baby and they never met him so we’re going for three weeks over Christmas so they can meet him and us.
In the end the baby fell asleep at 11:30 pm so there was no time for any movie left, we fell asleep exhausted. But we downloaded some of your suggestions so perhaps one of us will have time to watch something on the plane.
Thanks for engaging and giving so many different tips!
My only budgeting is to earn much more than I spent so I don’t have to think too much about it. That means that I live quite frugal and other than food don’t really buy much on a regular basis.
Sometimes I find a meme or a photo on Lemmy which I’d like to share with people who are not on Lemmy. But when I share a link to something with a picture like lemmy.world/post/9593902 and someone clicks on it, they see a very small thumbnail and a title, it’s not clear that you’re supposed to click on that thumbnail to see...
So there is this app claiming on-device iMessage functionality on Android. Seems cool but only has subscription based pricing. Does anyone know of a way to circumvent this?...
The only person I know who has an iPhone is my fiance and we use Matrix to communicate or Signal as a fallback if I fuck up the Matrix server. So this app is not really for me.
I really wonder how long it will take Apple to just be able to detect and block it.
