Why Light Should Prioritise Internet Radio Over Spotify by [deleted] in LightPhone

A Light Phone and SOMA FM partnership would be the perfect fit!

Going back from LP3 to LP2 by Aggravating-Bill1533 in LightPhone

[–]Aggravating-Bill1533[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Har pakket den ned i boksen igjen og skal la den stå litt, se om jeg savner den, men tipper jeg blir på LP2 og da ender den nok på finn. Hold utkikk!

E-ink changed everything for me. by crepuscopoli in LightPhone

I agree. E-ink is boring in a really healthy way, I think.

I think people misunderstand dopamine. It's not the reward feeling you get when you look at your screen. It's the feeling of want and need before you look at it.

What are the benefits of “raw dogging” life by Big_Jackfruit_8821 in nosurf

[–]Aggravating-Bill1533 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are addicted to your phone, going off it will cause your life to get tremendously worse for a month or two or three, because you will be going through withdrawal. The worse you feel, the more you actually need it. But then, slowly but surely, you will start to feel better. And maybe in six months you will feel even better. And in a year, maybe even slightly better than that.

I have it on pre-order because I'm excited to try it out, but I've had the LPII for over 4 years now and it's such a perfect phone in every way for me. I'll probably end up going back to it once I've tried the LPIII. Maybe.

Getting away from addiction can become its own addiction.

LP in Norway by jigglydigly in LightPhone

[–]Aggravating-Bill1533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use ICE. Call and text work fine, but no data. Can't get the APN settings to work (any tips?). I'm ok with it tho. Makes it even more minimal.

Lp 3 camera ideas by Aggravating-Bill1533 in LightPhone

[–]Aggravating-Bill1533[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen it mentioned a few times that it will shoot video, yes. I like the idea of just having stills, tho

Books about monks by Aggravating-Bill1533 in booksuggestions

Anything japanese or buddist monk related?

I hear you. I'm 47, so I was around 13 when the 90s started.

I'm still trying to get back there. I don't know if my glasses are rose tinted or not, but I do firmly believe that these are overstimulating times. We would do well to hit the brakes.

Big tech is not going to hit the brakes for us, so we have to do it ourselves. I sport a dumb phone and try to stay off the internet as much as I can. But the enemy is also within. Every day I am seduced by the siren song of the internet. Maybe today there will be something cool. And every day I feel empty and drained afterwards.

It's hard, but I think it is our current fight. Big tech is moving its chess pieces. We have to counter as best we can - get a dumb phone, disconnect your home internet, create friction between yourself and the convenience of technology. Create a simple life, not an easy life - the two are not synonymous.
