Jokes on them. I endlessly scroll on my computer only while my smartphone mostly just acts as a phone/music player/navigation device.
Pretty sure i read about EU working on a ban for endless scrolling!
Lol. I’m sure this will definitely work.
This story has been popping up every few months for about the last decade. Usually prompted by someone with something to promote (a dumb phone, a book about downtime, some course )
Wasn’t there a minimal phone that made the buzz recently that was ironically, retailing for the cost of a mid range Android smartphone?
Give me a semi-smartphone. All I want is a dumb phone that has high quality music streaming, GPS, Mail, RCS messaging, calling, Bluetooth, and a modern camera. No big screen, return to T9 typing on a keypad. Just something pocketable that can take good pictures and tackle basic communication in a reliable shell.
I even love the idea of the screen being at-best preview size for photos just for framing and general composition. Where you can’t really tell the quality until you look at them later on a computer.
Idk I’m rambling but after my last app purge I’m down to just 60 apps (which includes most of the built in ones). Still feels like too many since I’ve also cut my daily phone usage down to about 90m on average. I’m kinda tired of it all.
Ehh we can and should do better than T9. …but then the phone might start to become fun to use, drawing you back in… Bring back T9!
I’ve been using a Light Phone II as my daily driver since August, and I hope I never go back to my iPhone. The transition was pretty easy since I was already “off the grid”, but I do sometimes have to toss my iPhone in my bag for things like Uber or the Starbucks app.
I’ve considered the Light Phone before but there are just some things I think it goes too far with such as lack of email and texted images. I consider these to be basic communication fundamentals and should be standard on dumbphones. It’s not like they’re closed-source software tied to specific companies.
Honestly, I don’t mind the lack of email that much since I have always preferred writing on my computer. That said, I do hate the lack of image support. A low-res black-and-white image would be better than none at all…
Just set up an app blocker on your phone. There are some that are pretty intense, they work great.
You can consider getting the Qin F22 Pro.
but i want a slide out keybooaaarrddddd :_____________(
I would love a phone with a slide out keyboard
Isn’t Light Phone II just an Android device?
“My vice was Twitter… I’m kind of a news junkie, and I love to refresh it all throughout the day, and sometimes argue with people online, I guess, so it was a bad habit,” explained Stults.
Along with his partner Daisy Krigbaum, they decided to adopt a less-screen-filled lifestyle and help others do the same. “Some people just can’t function with how addictive the smartphone currently is,” Stults said.
Daisy was the offscreen voice in this xkcd comic:
I love this one.
or you can practice what us ‘big people’ call: “self control”
Oooh, this one has it all figured out. How do we solve obesity? Drug addictions? Gambling addictions? I bet I know your answer.
