One of the funniest essays I ever read was by porn actress Bobbi Starr. It was about porn’s addiction to Apple products. Someone copied it from an issue of FOX Magazine.
The idea was that a girl could shoot, edit, and distribute all her own stuff on Apple devices.

There’s a thing that happens on Mastodon throughout June: #AudioMo. Basically, people taking part record and upload a bit of audio every day. Pretty simple.
I used to do it when I used iPhones. Record and edit in Ferrite, add a thumbnail image that I’d edited in Pixelmator, then export from Ferrite as an mp4 static video, ready to upload. It was a piece of piss.
These past two Junes I’ve had a Pixel on Graphene, and I’ve yet to figure out a similar workflow for it. I’ve tried a bunch of different apps, but none of them really match the quality I got used to on iOS, and I didn’t fancy spending loads of money trying different apps, only to find they were lacking in some way.

I’m beyond nontechnical. Someone gifted me an iPhone back in the day and I’ve stuck with them because I’m too lazy to learn another system.

You could probably do something similar with Termux and Ffmpeg, but that requires terminal knowledge, and would be quite a steep learning curve for someone not familiar with it already. FFMPEG and terminals are not the most intuitive pieces of software.

Yeah, there’s an enormous gulf between using a thoughtfully put together app, and cobbling together a solution using command line tools on a phone screen.
