wheres that from
A talk I watched about “enshittification” on YouTube. Not an exact quote, but it resonates and I wanted to make it clear it’s not from my smooth brain.
EDIT: Here it is. My man wears a mask the whole time, which is distracting, but he’s got things to say.

Weird, I never get ads, but I’m glad you beat it! Nice job
bruhh nice one! Saw it, played it, and one hour passed by!
Anyways, I also have an interesting game to share yall lemmies. Just a shooter game but I swear I’m addicted to it, ngl any game with simple gameplay like this have something that make me can’t stop playing. Bet some of you have played it before (it’s kinda popular tho) Here’s the link:
You’re welcome.
Every time I unlock my phone I:
- Check WhatsApp
- Check Discord
- Check Mail
- Scroll Lemmy for about hour
- Read a post I want to help
- Go down at least 3 different rabbit holes at once for the next 2 hours
- Give up
- Close Lemmy
- Don’t know what to do
- Open Lemmy
- See no new posts
- Close Lemmy
- repeat until I turn my phone off
When I open my phone, I look at a couple of things like news / weather / Lemmy, and then in about 5-10 minutes I’m done taking a dump and I put the phone away until I get a message.
Most of the time I don’t use a smartphone for the Internet, it’s just my pocket messenger device.
Discord
better foss frontend: https://github.com/SpacingBat3/WebCord
Better not use it at all
if people are going to use it, best they use a frontend
Can’t convince my normie friends to do that

There’s always gaming or joining a cult… Or you could do both by getting into Minecraft 🤷
Especially modded minecraft
It’s like crack
Have you considered Factorio?
I hadn’t heard about it before but it looks interesting!
Well RIP your sanity and free time. You’re going to wake up a few weeks from now after having nightmares about unsaturated belts.
ONE OF US! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
It’s great. I started working in the factory in 2015. Don’t have to play that many other games anymore and runs well on older hardware. It has saved me a lot of money because of these 2 reasons.

I agree, but to each their own 🤷 It was kind of a joke suggestion anyway 😁
If you aren’t yet, I recommend playing Baldurs Gate 3. Everyone should, whether they’re normally into RPGs or not. It’s THAT good 😁

I loved that and BG2 so much when they first came out 25-30 years ago! They were amongst my formative gaming experiences ❤️
Have you tried knitting?
Y’all don’t know/remember the struggle. My “apps” used to be 2 or 3 forums – and not particularly active forums, at that – that I would check repeatedly, all day long, during downtime at work. Posts and comments were rare.
I do not miss those days.
I don’t even understand why people want to look at phone apps all day. I hate browsing the Internet on a phone screen usually, it’s so inferior to having a monitor, mouse, and keyboard.
I mean if you’re at work or whatever and you’re bored, I can see wasting time on phone apps, but any other time I don’t. But of course if you don’t have a computer you can’t just use the computer you don’t have.
It’s much easier to use touch than a mouse? Swipe keyboard are almost faster. And apps are just a more minimalist version of a desktop site. All the content, none of the clutter. I despised Reddit on my laptop.
Absolutely not. Mouse and keyboard are FAR faster than anything you can do on a touch screen.
I’ll take you on in a typing contest if you disagree. I can type about 90 WPM on keyboard.
EDIT: I overestimated my typing speed. 64 WPM on my first and only try on typingtest dot com -
Um, ok calm down. I was only making a theory.
Ah yes the ‘hi guys I have a problem with this program and it’s doing this any solutions?’ And then you would have a reply maybe in a week or with bad luck a month. I’d usually just go to a IRC chatroom and ask it there.
so you would have 1 weird guy reply after a few hours while 10000 other people just watched…
Usually also in the trend of ‘i have this too, how to fix it?’
Even worse when you see every post incremented by one or more. Either a racist troll had stumbled their way in or an ad-bot was spam posting. Either way, took a few days for the mods to get around to cleaning it up. Passwords for every board was the only way to slow it down. They were not the good old days.
Check them again ten minutes later.
The last one is always github trends. If you end up there, no luck for you then. Go cook something or go outside
me at work rn 🙄
I picked up a Solitaire app. ScreenTime says I played 6.5 hours last week.

Cornhub
MournHub, for sexy widows
You should try gReader paired with Innorader for back end sync. It’s dope AF. Also good recommendation on the mastodon app. Rocking Sync and Boost. Fair Mail, so I never have to open Gmail on my phone.
not sure why but my mental health gets way better when i use my laptop.
im a zoomer so i started out on a phone and only got a laptop a few years ago, i thnk it might be because everytime i opened my phone i would just rot away and i just go back to those habits whenever i use my phone. when i started using a laptop my entire schedule changed and updated(for the better). and having a slow laptop is prob also good to avoid wasting too much time on video games lmao

Do Not Disturb would work better for that issue. Revanced is good though. +1

I don’t know about you, but it seems to me that phone OSes and apps are designed to steal our attention at all the times. I find it hard to do stuff while receiving notifications here and there, or even knowing that a new notification may pop up at any time. If fells like trying to do something while someone is watching and poking me all the time.
- Mastodon
- Lemmy
- Idk, email?..
- …
- Porn
fyi: there’s an unofficial app for nhentai.
It’s not helpful in any way, but I do not experience boredom. You can leave me with a computer in a room for 2 years and when you come to collect me I’ll just tell you to turn the light off and go away.
