@dansup how to delete loops account pls? I can't watch anything without an app and I don't have a smartphone.

@prahou is it possible to learn the power of not having a smartphone

@ozzelot yes, become a niche content creator living off sticker sales

@prahou @ozzelot
I'm unemployed and although I have a smartphone, it sometimes manages to collect several layers of dust over the course of weeks 😆

@prahou @ozzelot
Screen time? Which apps I use the most? 🤔
My smartphone usage patterns are something like this 🤪

@m0xee @prahou I bow to you, good (honorific uninferable).

@ozzelot @prahou
I have to admit, I'm a bit of a cheater: I have my olde Lumia, which I mostly use as a remote for TV, mpv, and cmus connected to the audio system — stuff like that. I sometimes pick it up to browse Gemini pointlessly, doomscroll the RSS feeds and hang out on Fedi — but it's hardly as intrusive, the browser it has is very old, with a little CSS face lift Bloat looks neat, but most websites don't work, and there are no notifications which make you pick up the phone again.

@m0xee @ozzelot it doesn't count as a phone if it can't make phone calls.

@prahou @m0xee my iph*ne has been SIMless for the better part of a year now. Loophole!

@prahou @m0xee (pseudo ipod touches are still dark devices, though, and i should be wary of my next steps with it - but it is small, by today's standards! where am i gonna find an android like that?)

@prahou @m0xee It all seemed so innocent once
(well, google still had an obvious grip)

@prahou @m0xee I should have rejected the premise there and then, but I was a mere ocekitten and wanted to seem progressive. Only now I know progress for mankind and progress for technology are greatly divergent paths.

@ozzelot @m0xee you can't become a luddite if you're a luddite from the start!

@prahou @m0xee I was some sort of dumbass technocentrist :'D

@ozzelot @m0xee I think we all were at one point or another. That's how they get you.

@prahou @m0xee I think being in a technological company full of them has only pushed me further into disliking their approach. Oh the stories I could (and at sufficient entropy, do) tell...

@ozzelot @m0xee computers make farmers of every IT person eventually.

@prahou @m0xee And when even somewhat mainstream music producers talk their heart out about wanting to leave Windows (and not for Mac, either), you know it's really a pretty fukin bad OS.
