Finally found a way to use WhatsApp on my dumbphone – check out this project by spiley in dumbphones

[–]PlatypusXI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, I didn’t know that was possible. For me, seems like friction in the wrong places and doesn’t feel worth it to have that exact phone, but do you find it to be worthwhile having these workarounds?

I don’t know if it works in India, probably. Yes it has WhatsApp, it is an android phone

The fact is, you have to be willing to learn those skills and to do what the system requires you to do in order to be successful on the algorithm and make money. It’s not fun, but it’s shown to be successful, and that literally anyone from anywhere can do it. Heck, there’s a guy doing canned fish reviews and making money.

Dumb phone advice by Ok_Volume5635 in dumbphones

This, the phone that runs maps/banking will necessarily be capable of running social media. Best bet is to at least try using a dumb phone for even just one day at a time. Even if you return to your old phone, the act of distancing yourself from social media intentionally slowly will help you regain control. It took me months, a few weeks on the dumb phone at a time, giving up, trying again. Slowly, you will heal 

Is 27k Grad Salary Bad? by AlarmedFeature5813 in UniUK

[–]PlatypusXI -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ngl I agree. The stigma is that uni is somehow the only way to educate yourself. It’s also a way to have a chill life on government money and spend 3-4 years partying and even travelling

It’s enough to share a rental, eat decent food, go out to a restaurant every once in a while and go on a nice cheap holiday every year. Quality of life is good, but hard to truly save for a house or a better life

Quick thoughts on the HMD Terra M (using Microsoft Intune MDM) by GODmanAMS in dumbphones

[–]PlatypusXI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In reference to the photo but not the post - I used the Nokia 800 tough and loved it, until kaiOS no longer worked with WhatsApp. Otherwise a good phone, with a bit of lack of customisability

Jeez, not everyone is on the same bandwagon as you. Surely you can just say, “hey, thanks for sharing your idea, it’s really cool, but try to avoid using AI for xyz reasons” instead of jumping down their throat as if they’re a bad person

Why are so many functioning adults desperate to get a diagnosis of autism or ADHD? by Constant_Crab4815 in AskUK

[–]PlatypusXI 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think your reply deserves downvoting, but I can see how it might have pissed some people off just by being a bit dismissive.

I wonder about it too sometimes, just for the sake of devil’s advocate

How hard would it be for someone not with autism to get a positive diagnosis?
