Technology as we know it is getting worse, and everybody knows it.

More and more people are becoming absolutely glued to their phones, and there's no avoiding it.

So, I'm letting go of my Pixel 7 Pro for a while and switching to a “dumb” phone.

But, they're definitely far from dumb, especially as you see more and more people consuming content that's being force fed down their throats as if we're cattle in a feedlot with the supply being akin to a truly bottomless buffet with soulless machines generating and generating just so some sleazebag of a person can try to make what they call an honest living.

This will definitely be a struggle in the beginning. However, considering that the only real app I need to add to any phone is a way to listen to music (in my case, Tidal), I think I'll make it through.

That being said, I definitely am not going fully without a “smart” phone as the “dumb” phone of which I picked runs the open source (luckily degoogled) version of Android 10 due to needing certain Android apps such as Tidal and my banking app.

Anyway, I'd say that's enough rambling for right now. Happy Juneteenth to whoever is reading this.

If you're wondering why this entry took so long, I dropped my laptop onto concrete and it is now in the shop, so I have to rely on an old HP thing that is slow even with an install of Alpine Linux and LXQt for the moment.

(Shout out to my laptop company for giving free damage protection for a year also!)

With that though, here's the song for right now: End Of The World – The Living End
