I have aquired the energy and phone exhaustion necessary to have started up my old PC that broke in 2021 and was technically fixed by the end of 2024, but which i couldn’t use anymore on the count of it being a 2015 built machine that had a lot memory stored on it—so ran horribly doing simple things like using the web.
I have in the past year become quite radicalized against the smartphone as a technology. It does everything—and nothing well—while presenting a cyborgian element that attaches itself to you, is too easy to use in too many positions and settings. I like the internet, but i don’t think i should have the ability to use it in bed or when i am pooping or making myself a snack or whatever else. I have never liked taking out my phone when i am outside somewhere, but i do often use it in the just mentioned settings. So i will try saving a few pictures and stuff from my PC, before hardresetting the machine and installing some linux software that should work better on my old old friend. Maybe i can save the thing and depose of my phone in one fell swoop, and then get a dumbphone for strictly communicational purposes.
Holy shit this article pissed me off big time. I think Children, Teens and adults should be allowed to end their parents for doing this to them. This is prison life, a fascist culture. Not every parent is Hitler, but there is a particle of Hitler in every parent. Constantly inventing danger even though violent crime and all else has been receding for decades.
