I get a twitch every time I see the damn sparkle icon/emoji.

Yeah, that one took me a minute. I think “drip” or “slow drip”? I know “drip” used to be a term but was never one I associated with “screwball” or “crackpot”. Usually I’d heard “drip” to mean something closer to “dull” or “boring”.

Veren zol fun dir a blintse

Pretty decent unless there’s a lot of animation / video in them. Calling, texting, looking up something on the internet, bank app, auth app, etc all work great. Some of the stock Android components don’t work super great with it, though, like the quick action buttons (though, arguably, they don’t work great on any Android phone either lol).

Feels sluggish at times but that’s just the e-ink being what it is. I mostly treat it like a dumb phone that’s also an e-reader.

I’ve always joked that coding as a hobby is just digital knitting lol.

I’ve gradually weaned off of smartphones over the last 18 months. Currently daily-driving the Minimal Phone and loving its distraction-free (or at least distraction-lite) ways.

I may not be analog like the article is highlighting, but I have basically eliminated the doom scrolling and have reignited my passion for reading (the one “distraction” the Minimal Phone does well is being an e-reader since it’s got an e-ink screen).

Roughly 1,600 TikTok posts were tagged #AnalogLife during the first nine months of 2025

I’m just going to ignore the irony of that and appreciate it at face value 😆

Smartphones in 2040:

Whatever. As long as I can run LineageOS or Debian on it.

Is Optimus Prime the original “boob windows” ?

Because if we don’t build and profit from the Torment Nexus, someone else will

Probably just smells like old upholstery. Taxidermied animals don’t really have a smell

I was thinking that or they just have a lot of them.

Neat. I find it interesting that you’re encouraged to touch the exhibit at all. Usually that’s very discouraged.

Keep this in mind when you see brand new accounts spewing out random news sites you’ve never heard of.

Lol, I felt like a dick replying that, but I figured someone would go to lemvotes, see i downvoted it and assume i’m maga or something. Nope, totally agree with it, just tired of seeing politics in the places I go to avoid politics lol

Downvoted not because I disagree but because I’m tired of political crap in non-political crap communities.

These are the shitposts I live for. Not the shit that should be in the political memes community. Thank you!
