       An I’ve said before, when I went dumbphone in 2017, to my own surprise I got way less annoyed at other people being on their phone. I just felt free and happy and like “oh they wanna be connected to people or info or culture they care about, how nice”.But when I then went anti glowy screen in 2025, that annoyance at people being on their phone returned a hundredfold. I just want to put a lead shield over every reels-scrolling knucklescraper who has brightness on full blast. I long for a cityscape that isn’t a visual loudness competition. I hate phones and I hate seeing other people’s phones.

       There is a huge nostalgia component to my phone-hatred but I don’t know what’s chicken and what’s egg there.

       @Sandra I miss a lot of technology being optional. When nobody expected you to have Google/Apple, then you could have a smartphone that ran PalmOS, or WinCE, or a feature phone… whatever worked for you.Nowadays, for lots of technology, not just smartphones, we simply don’t have any choice.
