I only use this hellscape app to check if @FrameworkPuter has launched in Norway yet and then get disappointed when they haven't. I could pop over to Sweden and buy one as they use the same keyboard layout and charging plug as us but alas I have to buy e-waste instead
GUYS JINX IS STILL ALIVE cait was smiling here cause she figured out jinx escaped through the air vents of the hexgates. right after we can see the air ship drive by that powder was talking about in season one, about how she wanted to fly one one day. SHE IS IN THE SHIP
Every time my gf is gone for a few days, I get reminded how boring I am. She'll be home with her parents having insane parties and shit, and she'll go "what are you doing?" "I went to work, came home, ate then lay on the couch watching YT until its time to go to bed and repeat"
It occurs to me that @Apple would be incredibly smart to release a communication device that did not allow social media. Not a device with software lockouts via screentime, a device that actually did not allow social media apps at all. A reduced app set, somehow hard-coded into the device. There is a huge market demand for this specific product.
We simply lack the self-discipline to not install these apps. Silicon Valley has figured out our weaknesses and how to make us addicted, and companies have figured out how to use our dopamine as a pathway to taking over our personal time. By blocking this, Apple would be seen as a benevolent actor in a sea of malicious tech companies.
Call it something catchy like:
The “Emancipation From Applications”.
As parent with teenagers, I have explored this space carefully, alongside all of dozens of thoughtful parents I respect, from all walks of life. I am familiar with all of the dumb phones, and know friends with many of the hardware solutions used to make social media inconvenient.
Increasingly, I know adults who want this product for themselves. It’s no longer just about kids.
The more I think about it the more I realize this would be a genius play on many levels.
I usually don’t say this, but please retweet this if you feel the same way. I want to know if it’s just me.
