I saw that book pass by on the Daily Show:

Or that person in the white T between the girl in red and the girl in pink. Not only does his face look strange, but his right leg is gone even while appearing to be walking.

The karma system increases engagement, which entices shareholders, resulting in an increase of share price.
I don't. Some of the reasons: I have way too many hobbies so my free time is precious, too many people on this planet already, raising a child costs 250K, we live too far away from our parents for any free babysitting, the current society is not one I want my child to grow up in, ...
Ahhh I hadn't considered that. It's a good reason to switch.
What's the issue to switch to dumb phones? Tracking SIM cards? Cookie and other web tracking by big tech? The smart phone as a spying device? Can't be SIM tracking, as dumb phones would have that issue too. I guess the latter is easily resolved by using GrapheneOS, and I imagine the second one by a having good privacy setup. Any other reasons?
I'm just wondering, as I was imagining switching to a dumb phone. I wouldn't be opposed, and I don't think I'd miss much, mainly email and lemmy. However, I would love to no longer have an easy map at hand, and actually having to look for places, and asking for directions. As for a weather app... I could just ask for the weather forecast when I'm asking for directions ;)
