Get a second-hand Apple iPod Touch, remove all apps you don't need.

For just mp3 and podcasts: get an iPod Classic (or Video) and install Rockbox.

Rockbox is amazing.

We should, IMHO, start getting rid of most software. Go back to basics: what do you need, make that better, make it complete. Finish a piece of software for once.

Unless it's to do official government business like taxes, I won't use any website requiring official digital ID.

If that means I can't use most of the internet, so be it.

Not only one thing after another, but often the same things all over again after a decade or so.

I like grapefruit as it is. Let's not do this.

We've been automating people out of a job for decades. And now we've outfoxed ourselves.

To be honest, I don't "do" my finances. I look at my bank statements (on my phone) once every couple of months or so. It never goes wrong.

If you'd like to use another editor you can easily install it.

It would be trivial to automate this: block HN in the hostfile and only unblock for an hour or two on Saturday evening, for example.

"I'd like to have my roof reshingled, but with glass tiles and it should be in the basement, and once you are half way I'll change my mind on everything and btw, I'm replacing your crew every three days".

I've been doing that since the early nineties. First vi, later Vim.

I like it better than Visual Studio, better than Eclipse and way better than VScode.

The learning curve can be steep but once you learn vi/Vim you can never go back to an IDE like VScode because it is so unbelievably limited.

When you get comfortable with vi it really begins to feel like you can type text in VScode but you can't edit it.

I'm not going through the hassle of installing something if I don't already know I want or need it. No screenshots -> "Next!"

It's the same effect of all the (no doubt wonderful) tools that begin their website with "Foo is the next Bar, now at version 3.1, here is the changelog:...", without ever mentioning what Foo even is. So many customer/users lost through bad marketing.

A social media app based on music has a narrow audience anyway, in my opinion: young people that still find music important enough to make it a thing. For me (old), music is something to listen to, but certainly not be obsessed about.

I find it an amazing success you have so many users to begin with! That signals that there is a market, you "just" have to focus in on it a bit more. What is the common factor of your current users? Market to that demographic. Leave the rest (for now).
