Using #ChatGPT (oh, the irony!), I've updated a 1970s cartoon by Peter Steiner of New Yorker fame for the age of #Doomscrolling and #BrainRot. Now roast me!

Springtime #cacti blossoms. #Ferocactus genus = large barrel-shaped cacti, mostly w/ large spines and brilliant flowers. There are about 30 species included in the genus. This one is putting on a show in my front yard. #Cactus #Photography
Heute ist bei mir Doom-Scrolling-Sonntag. Zuviele beschissene Nachrichten.
Wer der Nachrichten um Tod, Trauerfeier, Begräbnis und Nachfolge im Vatikan/Rom überdrüssig ist und auch keinen guten News-Ersatz in Meldungen aus den trumpigen USA findet, kann seine/ihre Neugier auf eine große Explosion in der iranischen Hafenstadt Bandar Abbas konzentrieren, über die in schwedischen Medien aktuell berichtet wird.

I think the #LightPhone3 is better than a shitty "#ProducedEwaste" #Android 8.1 brick from China but I don't consider it worth the premium asked [U$D 799 MSRP, U$D 599 preorder] for it.
I think people can get a better experience buying a #degoogled #Fairphone with #eOS and just put #RelaunchX as an #eInk-optimized #launcher on it and have a better option.
Can't have #doomscrolling or #microtransactions if it doesn't support #NSAbook's #apps or shitty #PayToLoose #games...
What I do have to say is that #MKBHD acknowledges that he isn't the target audience and "that's fine"...
I stayed off #GooglePlay for longer than it's being called like that and their "#lightOS" is most likely some tightly locked-down Android...
I think people would be more accepting if it was a $299 or even $399 device, but at a price of a @monocles #phone whilst being way less versatile it's just not worth it.
It feels like there's been a growing number of posts about folks wanting to ditch their smartphones and apps and the realities of doing so.
I kept trying to refind those posts and they're gone so I'm just gonna share this also incredibly timely video about doing just that.

Self-Care Corvid bringing you the daily Public Service Announcement:
Mastodon is functioning very well as a news source. A handful of bloggers, Le Monde and Tagesschau.
A sign of the maturity of the platform.
I want to be informed. I don't want to be swamped or to get sucked in.
Enough else in my life and interests counterbalances the hot take of the moment. I am lucky that I have a high tolerance level.
#Instagram, #TikTok, #Youtube short video formats in context of their #UX #darkpatterns are the new #cigarette. Each short video releases sweet, sweet #dopamine without end or safety measurements. The drug dealers of those content platforms abuse users in search for connection and escapism for their own capitalistic and political agenda.
What's your take?
The below is a list of fields containing personal #data.
That data is held in information systems which the so-called "DOGE" has sought to access.

Starting an interesting chapter in my digital life: minimizing how much control it has on me.
Started today with deleting some addicting apps on my phone, and unsubscribing from promotional emails and notifications.
I’m also going to keep apps on a tablet or accessible via web when I’m home, to reduce the time I look at my phone.
I made a plan as to how many different “phases” I’ll enter before I think I’m completely satisfied but we’ll see how this goes. #mindfulness #doomscrolling
Want a better night’s sleep? Limit your #DoomScrolling before bed! A growing body of research suggests that how often people use social media before bed – and how engaged they are in it – matters more than how long they are on screens as a whole when it comes to getting restful sleep. Social psychologist and sleep researcher Brian N. Chin, from Trinity College, explains that emotionally stimulating content can lead to greater arousal that delays the onset of sleep. Small behavioral changes, such as avoiding doomscrolling and leaving your phone outside your bedroom at night, can help you get more sleep, he writes. #sleep #sleeping #SocialMedia #PersonalCare #anxiety

@jameshowell I think #goodscrolling is short and sweet and non-exclusive (some may not wish to associate curiosity with nerd-dom).
But I agree that it lacks the sleekness and mystique of #doomscrolling.
