I did it for a few months and really enjoyed it. At the end of 3 months, I realized I could achieve nearly the same thing by turning off all notifications except messages and calls and uninstalling all social media. I realized… if I have the willpower to use a dumbphone I have the willpower to keep the distraction off my smartphone. Phone usage is now 100% intentional with the right setup.
Just the type of mod I want!
Dad programming jokes are the finest there is.
It’s so nice to feel like tech isn’t running your life anymore. If I’m in an app doing something, it’s because I made the choice to do it. I still gotta work on that doom scrolling tho, YouTube being the biggest culprit. I think I might try setting some time limits.
Everyone should try disabling ALL notifications and then working their way up to understand which alerts are worth getting interrupted for. Everything you do on your phone ends up becoming more intentional and your battery life goes up too because your screen isn’t constantly getting turned on from the barrage of notifications. To date, I only have 1 notification turned on and it’s when my significant other messages me.
I think it’s done like that on purpose so that their Canes sauce does a lot of the heavy lifting.
There’s this fast food fried chicken chain called Raising Canes, used to serve massive strips. Now the price is 50% more expensive and 50% less chicken. They’re extremely tiny, never going back again… yet all the zombies who love that place are relentlessly spending their money there anyway.
Edit: grammar
There’s one called the Light phone and the battery life is below average. The screen is definitely a hog but cell radios can just as easily chew through the battery.
Can this work with the “off the shelf” mesh routers.
Akira x Barbie, very cool.
Please tell me ya’ll actually talk to your ducks? Just me? Alright…
Yeah but can it host PiHole?
We have so much computing power at home and the chances you have good reliable Internet at home are better than before. I revived 5 year old PCs and it’s way too much computing power for my self host needs. I’d have to pay $200+ a month for the same compute power in the cloud. Even a Raspberry Pi with 8GB is capable of running quite a bit for fractions of a penny in electricity.
There’s so many services where I’m like, wow what am I even paying for? Email is one where I know exactly what I’m paying for.
Sync is $20 to remove ads no? Where is it $100?
Update: nevermind I see it here for sync ultra
This one triggers the entire spectrum of human emotion.
Does it support syncing photos from your phone? That’s the only thing I need to get off Google Photos, I love how seamless it is.
I didn’t realize how broken SearX was until I switched to SearXNG.
Does this game suffer from the alpha gamer?
I have a love hate relationship with this man. He has spearheaded some of my favorite games even if they came nowhere close to what was promised. It’s so weird to come back to Fable and enjoy it more than I did when it came out.
