       my life was 1000x better when I got up after I woke up to play video games. Not spend Saturday morning scrolling on a phone.

       I long held the power button to turn it off, but apaprently doing that opens the Gemini app, except I don't have a Google Account, so all I get is a Sign In screen.this is the worst update.

       @scuti make your phone experience deliberately worse. Install some buggy ROM, use only f-droid software, etc. Also, buy a smaller phone with a worse screen. You won't be staring at it for hours this way.

       @newt "use only f-droid software" this is exactly how I use my phone.

       @scuti @newt I only use foid software.  My phone works fine for about five minutes, then it stops, and it refuses to tell me why.

       @newt @scuti if I can keep myself from my phone I’ll find I often feel fine without it, so I’ve been trying to have it across the room or even in another room when I wake up. If it’s next to me when when I wake up that’s I’ll likely lose time and brain cells that morning

       @karolat @newt @scuti I rarely bring my phone with me. It stays home and at night I turn it off.  The idea of being constantly connected and contactable seems unhealthy.
