Remote status

I think that a lot of the people who want to to digitally disconnect and buy brand new devices designed around that purpose could probably do with buying a 30 dollar used android 4 phone from ebay or something
(I say this even as somebody who bought the commodore callback lmaoo)

@reb "analogue" is trendy (none of the things are analogue it's just a misnomer for the name of the trend because people are dumb)

@Velveteen I'm gonna be even spicier on this one:

If you wanna disconnect, let your phone go empty and don't charge it. Don't fall for the consumerist dream of "everything can be solved with innovation/a new product".

@siblingsofthevoid i kind of agree but for me a phone is more about being able to contact somebody in an emergency or take a critical call or message in the moment rather than any other feature. like i don't want to be completely offline and offgrid when i leave the house, i just don't want to be completely accessible and distracted 100% of the time.
