What Did People Do Before Smartphones? - Lemmy.world

Recently started using a LightPhone II when out of the house, and I found the article captured my current experience pretty well. It’s not so bad to be bored sometimes.

Paywalls are a scourge on the modern Internet…

I have been thinking of switching to a dumbphone and a standalone Spotify player lately. I still have my old Garmin GPS, but don’t know if it still works. The idea of abandoning the smartphone is more daunting than I want to admit, but technology burnout is real.

The LightPhone has gps which is nice. Even transit directions. It’s slow as shit, but it got me out of a bind recently when dropping my car off for service suddenly became an overnight affair.
