What phone? I've been interested in a really modern feeling take in the idea for a while.

@wythran I've messed around with 8210, but these days I use the Lightphone 2.
I do still have an android phone kicking around for apps line online banking, 2 factor auth stuff etc, but it mostly sits switched off or with a flat battery rather than the old days where I'd literally doom scroll twitter on the laptop then for whatever reason pick up my phone and do the same on there! π©

Oh. I don't appear to have done anything productive today. And I'm feeling really anxious but I can't figure out why.
* Repeat semi daily *

Nope, I don't have any addiction problem. Why do you ask? π

@SpectacledLangr My desktop browser is setup to allow me to check out bird site without logging in, and to see nsfw reddit posts, so moving to my phone is my 'that's almost enough internet today' move
Jeff Forcier@SpectacledLangr My variant of this is:
COMPUTER: hi! this is your mandatory hand/eyeball break reminder. rest those things yo!! go take a break!!!
ME: yes! can do! *pushes chair back from desk, spins around, whips out smartphone*
COMPUTER: ugggghhhhhh buddyyyyyyyy π©

Matt Campbell@SpectacledLangr My pocket-sized Internet usage is pretty much limited to the following: Uber, DoorDash, listening to audiobooks I already bought on my PC, and streaming music. And the occasional web search if I think of something I want to look up while I'm not at my desk.
Brian C. Keegan, Ph.D.@SpectacledLangr Iβm in this toot and I donβt like it.
eevee@SpectacledLangr but its different than the big internet
m0xEE@ComradeEevee
Exactly! True, it does have exactly the same tabs open as my laptop, butβ¦ It's not that comfortable to type on! I may end up not coming up with a couple of jokes I would when using my laptop β it's different! Right π€£

Listen, in my defense the pocket sized internet is mostly Ao3 and music. The regular sized internet is for academic papers and dreaded emails.

Tech people are the biggest Luddite-curmudgeons, I swear.
Personally, I detest laptops because I used to repair them back in the 90s.
Everything is more expensive, the upgrade path is [bad word], and of course the battery turns to mush quickly, leaving you tethered to AC outlets, vastly reducing the convenience.
Brandon PearseI mean they have their purpose. You can't travel easily with a desktop. Some people need to work around the world.
Often the more convenient an item is the more disposable it is. Luckily batteries can be replaced. The lifetime of a laptop can easily be 5 years
