yeah I had been using Niagara on my pixel 6 but it’s a little too effective for me, my main desire with getting this phone was for it to be less of a distraction so I went with before launcher and set it to text only, no icons.

so far it’s been very good at doing what I need it to and then getting out of the way but I haven’t had it for a full week yet so I’m not fully decided on it.

very late response but you sold me on it.

I never took it as hate, just an acknowledgement of the simplicity of thinking about your digital watch and going “you know what? this thing is pretty neat!”

that being said it’s been a while since I read the books so maybe I’m misremembering some serious digital watch hate from later on.

personally I think my Casio is pretty neat and I also am unhappy for pretty much of the time, largely due to the movements of small green pieces of paper :)

A+ ⭐ 🏆

that last line especially is beautiful, sounds like it was written by Adams himself.

have you read the short story The Libertarian Police Department? I’ve always thought the author channeled Adams’ ghost for that one :)

Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.

Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape- descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

This planet has – or rather had – a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn’t the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

And so the problem remained; lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches.

I’m not sure I agree. it sounds like Bishop Budde really hurt his fee fees

huh neat, I didn’t know that was a thing! I’m tempted because I feel like I’d be less inclined to doomscroll on it, which seems like a feature rather than a bug.

it seems kinda thick though, do you think it’s more comfy in a pocket despite that?

what phone is that?

holy shit I never knew where that term came from, amazing share thanks!

ah yeah fair, I used to live near Boston and while it was MUCH better than where I am now (near Atlanta) it wasn’t even close to European standards

NE being New England?

that’s 100gecs but it’s more like a year/minute lol

???

the Brothers Grimm versions were not the original versions of any of those fairytales! they were edgy remakes! idk why or how that thinking became so common or why I care so much!
