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)

@Velveteen they don't actually want to disconnect do they

they want to:
- buy shit (dopamine)
- signal that they're disconnecting (dopamine)
- make social media videos about leaving social media (dopamine)

@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)
