minus-squareUraniumBlazer@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·2 months agoI don’t get it. Don’t we do that now as well? Putting .mp3 files up as our ringtones?
minus-squareGFGJewbacca@lemm.eecakelinkfedilinkarrow-up18·2 months agoOh my sweet summer child. Ringtones were in a different audio format than mp3s. Plus, getting the ringtone onto the phone required additional fuckery.
minus-squaregregorum@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 months ago additional fuckery Oh, wow, that phrase is doing a lot of heavy lifting here…
