Turn it off, leave it home. 

 I just want to play snake 🐍 on a Nokia brick phone sometimes 

 Yesssss!! 💯 

 I think this is also a social-culture issue at this point in history. Most people expect you to just install whatever app they use to chat if you want to keep in touch. That's fine but a dumb phone can become isolating. If you were in the group chat you would have known, or it's just too much work to call everyone. I get it, but I think it's more of a social/life decision. It's work explaining to people they have to call you if they want to chat, or to preemptively call people etc. I still function this way but most others do not. All other forms of electronic coms are desktop only. 

 Be like JC, have no phone. And by JC I mean JCD, John C. Dvorak. Ammirte nostr:nprofile1qqs00y32ptdnlfxa5hhv4f30dalwv9vl0a27pqpkdpkx3cyrstp50zqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuen0w4h8gctfdchxvmgpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsz8rhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekh2arfdeuhwctvd3jhgtnrdaksqjeuuh 😀 

 I'm pretty close these days 

 It absolutely is. I never had a Facebook and apparently I missed out on a couple of weddings.  Do I want to continue to be friends with these people, probably not. Perhaps I don't like this convenience in relationship building and maintenance.  

 It's not about disconnected stuff like that. Its like close friends meeting up on a whim by throwing an idea out in a group chat, something not worth calling everyone and planning for.  

 It’s a generational issue. Before mobile phones, everyone had to pick up a stationary phone to call everyone to get together. 

My original post was more towards those who want to minimise distractions in their lives but can’t seem to curb their need to be less distracted. 

 > It’s a generational issue
Maybe, feels like a cop-out tough. I'd also like to argue it's worse for older generations they just have more to occupy themselves with and need less social activity. 

 Just say ur born before 9/11 

 A smart phone is smart like a feature phone has features :) 

 If you want to take the extra step I would recommend devices that have physical hardware kill switches like purism, and pinephone, and get a Faraday cage bag. 

 The simplest thing you can do in android to protect yourself to some extend, is not to have a google account. You can use aurora from fdroid to havebevery app you want, if the other apps from fdroid are not enough for you. Just don't have a google account 

 3310, it used to have even snake 😂 

 You are showing your age, Petr 😏 

 It is hard not to 😂 lets see if I can do better next time.
