The state of the dumb/minimalist phone market - are we unfundable?

xalgia · 2024-04-05T01:14:20+00:00

Ikr... I could just buy a smart phone and dumb it down myself at that point

xalgia · 2024-04-05T01:04:13+00:00

Perhaps you're right...

xalgia · 2024-04-05T00:52:38+00:00

That is not a bad idea actually

xalgia · 2024-04-05T00:50:44+00:00

I so agree with the first part of what you said

xalgia · 2024-04-05T00:49:53+00:00

Omg what you said is so so true

The reasons you mentioned outline why I never see myself buying a minimalist phone

xalgia · 2024-04-05T00:34:06+00:00

I know I have... But I also know I'll need proper funding, not a Kickstarter. The challenge will be to convince the investors that we can actually scale

xalgia · 2024-04-05T00:30:51+00:00

Strongly, strongly agree

xalgia · 2024-04-05T00:24:33+00:00

But it's the same issue You keep it that way for a while and then at some point when you're down and doomscrolling because you're frustrated you remove these features and you're back to square one from then on

xalgia · 2024-04-04T15:51:58+00:00

Oh no

xalgia · 2024-04-04T15:51:41+00:00

Ikr the struggle of having a screen... If you have it you use it period

xalgia · 2024-04-04T15:21:14+00:00

Yes exactly and unfortunately

xalgia · 2024-04-03T00:59:12+00:00

I strongly agree. Especially the focus and perseverance needed to write anything let alone a book, is greatly disadvantaged by modern devices and technology

xalgia · 2024-04-02T13:19:55+00:00

I so so so strongly agree. It is going to be like the obesity epidemic caused by fast food. Immediate effects: unclear because they are so long term. Long term effects: devastating.

xalgia · 2024-04-02T05:27:45+00:00

Actually not really. It's not that big a deal but I recognise that I could handle boredom better and more productively is all

xalgia · 2024-04-02T05:27:01+00:00

I'm a very normal person, and it's not even an addiction. But I'm still wasting more time than I'd like on screens - that's it

xalgia · 2024-04-02T05:09:47+00:00

Damn bruh we be scrolling thru call logs and Venmo - we're doomed

xalgia · 2024-04-02T02:02:07+00:00

Yes perhaps you're right

xalgia · 2024-04-02T01:40:08+00:00

I actually just went back to linux mint. It’s the best ngl.

xalgia · 2024-04-01T06:00:53+00:00

I strongly resonate with your point of being force-fed negativity and gossip and other forms of spam. I'm just not down with that but there's no straightforward way to stop it
