Ohhhh I’m so downloading this. Ty!

Oh no! I bought a phone before I knew everything there is to know about how wretched Google is, and how deep the surveillance state runs! The horror! Let me just waste a $1k purchase!

Yeah, sorry, I could have worded that better. I use o launcher pro (but the free version works great). There are others, that’s just the one I use. No icons, no notification badges, nada. I set my phone to grayscale unless I’m taking a photo.

All of these people buying dumb phones instead of just downloading a text launcher on their phone and calling it a day. Like I’m not about to go waste money on a dumb phone when I can (1) set up a text based launcher and (2) uninstall Instagram. I have a perfectly good Samsung, and I’ve switched to using it more as a tool than a source of dopamine.

Too many people fall for the hype of these objects bc it’s easier than taking accountability, and easier than taking the initiative to do something on your own.
