Trying to figure my way around Primal on desktop to decrease my use/dependence upon a smartphone. It was the more reasonable thing to do (vs. using a hammer upon my iPhone).

I'm also looking into a separate camera. If you have a recommendation for a small one that takes great pics, lemmeno.

Is anyone here living life without a smartphone? I want to learn from you 👇

I would sooo love to ditch my smartphone!!! For so many reasons.

i have a Canon EOS M with the 22mm pancake lens. with the 1.6 sensor factor, you get a 35mm aspect. you can get one on ebay with a lens for like $200.

another option is to get an older android phone, put Lineage OS on it, and just never add a SIM.

you get the simple phone camera, and small form factor. i bought a Nexus5x on ebay for like $40.

its amazing to me how well it works.

if you can get a land line and an answering machine at a thrift store, you can solve the handful of times a phone number is required.

Not without smartphone, but without a sim in a smartphone.

Step by step..

I just switched to Graphene OS and am committed to keeping my phone (and my life)dumbed down. Some time spent letting go and re-learning, but I feel good.
