The constant disappointment of devices like smartphones, for me, is that having a permanently-internet-connected computer full of sensors that I keep on me at all times should be a thing that I can treat as an assistive tool that is integrated into my sense of self, constantly taking in information, processing that in workflows I've created, and sharing that with me
in other words, it should be a programmable extension of the perception of the body
and the entire ecosystem around smart phones is very meant for Not That
@left_adjoint smartphones are TV for the eyes. I've been building up my personal OS setup from the terminal and it's so nice go be able to know everything going on on it and being able to cut out the BS. Personal computing on the go is possible but such a time sink
@lispi314 @left_adjoint I put a lot of constraint on the hardware I use and generally don't think of getting stuff until yhere's been others that have tinkered with it on linux already 😅
