The five apps for me are probably:

  • Lemmy
  • Mastodon
  • Discord
  • HN
  • My school portal (bruh)

Y’all don’t know/remember the struggle. My “apps” used to be 2 or 3 forums – and not particularly active forums, at that – that I would check repeatedly, all day long, during downtime at work. Posts and comments were rare.

I do not miss those days.

@danque@lemmy.world avatar

Ah yes the ‘hi guys I have a problem with this program and it’s doing this any solutions?’ And then you would have a reply maybe in a week or with bad luck a month. I’d usually just go to a IRC chatroom and ask it there.

Usually also in the trend of ‘i have this too, how to fix it?’

InputZero ,

Even worse when you see every post incremented by one or more. Either a racist troll had stumbled their way in or an ad-bot was spam posting. Either way, took a few days for the mods to get around to cleaning it up. Passwords for every board was the only way to slow it down. They were not the good old days.

RaoulDook ,

I don’t even understand why people want to look at phone apps all day. I hate browsing the Internet on a phone screen usually, it’s so inferior to having a monitor, mouse, and keyboard.

I mean if you’re at work or whatever and you’re bored, I can see wasting time on phone apps, but any other time I don’t. But of course if you don’t have a computer you can’t just use the computer you don’t have.

BlackPenguins ,

It’s much easier to use touch than a mouse? Swipe keyboard are almost faster. And apps are just a more minimalist version of a desktop site. All the content, none of the clutter. I despised Reddit on my laptop.

RaoulDook , (edited )

Absolutely not. Mouse and keyboard are FAR faster than anything you can do on a touch screen.

I’ll take you on in a typing contest if you disagree. I can type about 90 WPM on keyboard.

EDIT: I overestimated my typing speed. 64 WPM on my first and only try on typingtest dot com -

Um, ok calm down. I was only making a theory.

AgentGrimstone ,

I only have Lemmy and Youtube. I’m actually trying to get off Youtube, those shorts are rotting my brain. I tried deleting the app but my Pixel won’t let me.

Block youtube via dns or an app.

Use ADB to uninstall it from a computer.

I wiped everything from my Samsung phone, even google stuff then installed what I wanted afterwards.

Lemmy, YouTube, and a podcast app for me.

There’s still great content on YouTube, but I also understand if people boycott the site for moral/personal reasons.

YouTube shorts I could understand. But I love using it for channels that have quality 5 to 10 minute content and I don’t feel like it’s as much a waste of my time as shorts. Legal Eagle, Hot Ones, Tom Scott, Some More News, You Suck At Cooking, Let’s Game it Out. There are some gems out there.

AgentGrimstone ,

I still like Youtube, I watch it on my TV all the time. It’s only a problem on my phone because I would turn my phone screen on, go to Youtube Shorts without even thinking, and end up wasting 30+ minutes at a time. I hate how effective short form videos are on me, It’s just so easy to keep going. On my TV, I only watch normal length videos that I search for, I don’t mind those.

BlackPenguins ,

That’s definitely not a you problem. I’ve been stuck watching the most pointless shorts on Snapchat with oddly satisfying videos.

EngineerGaming ,
@EngineerGaming@feddit.nl avatar

5 to 10 minutes is a bit too short for comfort tbh. If the content is good, the joy is slightly poisoned by the fact that there was so little of it. IMO the comfortable video length is 30 to 50 minutes, which is a far more enjoyable experience (with 1-2 hours if it’s a podcast).

ultrasquid ,

I think Youtube Revanced let’s you disable shorts.

Newpipe doesn’t display them at all, and is much lighter than revanced.

not sure why but my mental health gets way better when i use my laptop.

im a zoomer so i started out on a phone and only got a laptop a few years ago, i thnk it might be because everytime i opened my phone i would just rot away and i just go back to those habits whenever i use my phone. when i started using a laptop my entire schedule changed and updated(for the better). and having a slow laptop is prob also good to avoid wasting too much time on video games lmao

nossaquesapao ,

I don’t know about you, but it seems to me that phone OSes and apps are designed to steal our attention at all the times. I find it hard to do stuff while receiving notifications here and there, or even knowing that a new notification may pop up at any time. If fells like trying to do something while someone is watching and poking me all the time.

trash80 ,

because a laptop doesn’t interrupt you every 30 seconds with a notification about some shit you don’t care about

Do Not Disturb would work better for that issue. Revanced is good though. +1

EngineerGaming ,
@EngineerGaming@feddit.nl avatar

Gen Z here, I actually had the exact opposite problem. I don’t really use a smartphone now, but when I did use it daily, while I could get into some article rabbitholes, it was never to a painful extent. Probably because the phone is small and not at all comfortable to interact with long-term. But when I am on the laptop - I often lose track of time spent on IRC, youtube and newsfeeds. I now try to strictly limit the time to only what’s needed (unless IRC has a conversation that is really relevant for me), and download most articles onto an E-reader for a less painful experience.

Every time I unlock my phone I:

  • Check WhatsApp
  • Check Discord
  • Check Mail
  • Scroll Lemmy for about hour
  • Read a post I want to help
  • Go down at least 3 different rabbit holes at once for the next 2 hours
  • Give up
  • Close Lemmy
  • Don’t know what to do
  • Open Lemmy
  • See no new posts
  • Close Lemmy
  • repeat until I turn my phone off

RaoulDook ,

When I open my phone, I look at a couple of things like news / weather / Lemmy, and then in about 5-10 minutes I’m done taking a dump and I put the phone away until I get a message.

Most of the time I don’t use a smartphone for the Internet, it’s just my pocket messenger device.

A talk I watched about “enshittification” on YouTube. Not an exact quote, but it resonates and I wanted to make it clear it’s not from my smooth brain.

EDIT: Here it is. My man wears a mask the whole time, which is distracting, but he’s got things to say.

There’s always gaming or joining a cult… Or you could do both by getting into Minecraft 🤷

Minecraft is boring 🥵

Viking_Hippie ,

I agree, but to each their own 🤷 It was kind of a joke suggestion anyway 😁

If you aren’t yet, I recommend playing Baldurs Gate 3. Everyone should, whether they’re normally into RPGs or not. It’s THAT good 😁

    It’s great. I started working in the factory in 2015. Don’t have to play that many other games anymore and runs well on older hardware. It has saved me a lot of money because of these 2 reasons.

    You should try gReader paired with Innorader for back end sync. It’s dope AF. Also good recommendation on the mastodon app. Rocking Sync and Boost. Fair Mail, so I never have to open Gmail on my phone.
