I heard this in the Worms voice.

For me it’s the privacy angle that matters.

All these restaurant apps being pushed like “it’s cheaper on the app!” and “you can get a free side on the app!”

And I’m almost tempted to install it, but then I remember by doing so I’m giving the company a wealth of data to slurp on me, letting them bombard me with notifications, and giving their logo a shining advertisement spot in my app drawer so every time I’m hungry I see it, and want it.

When I think about the higher non-app price in those terms, as a “privacy tax” to keep my data and my dignity, then I’m happy to pay it.

Ah. I suppose it’s just down to how my client chooses to handle it, then :)

The thumbnail animates!

I guess the ‘trick’ to doing that is to upload an image sufficiently small in resolution and filesize where the instance doesn’t bother trying to scale it down, and uses the original image as the thumb directly.
