get rid of it? 😆

the answer i don’t want, but need

Use it with greyscale

in iOS settings or an app i got to download for that?

I think you can set it in iOS

will look into that, thank you brother 💜🤗

Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Colour Filters > Colour Filters (toggle) > Greyscale

curious if i can make it into a toggle on/off shortcut on my notification bar, next to timer, clock and other icons there

Let me know if you manage that

Install the spider app 😂

hmm never heard of it 🤔

It’s a euphemism when someone has smashed his phone’s screen 😅

Turn off all push notifications.

Now you control your phone, it doesn't control you.

(I only have WoS giving me notifications)

Yeah, I have most of my notifications turned off also, not a single Damus notification turned either

Which part? Do you do time recording?

You mean screen time caps in general or app-specific?

No was wondering what apps have you hooked.

Damus, Youtube and SimpleX are my most used applications by far

Make it inconvenient. Rather than use the apps directly log in to the websites on the browser. Automatically clear history, cookies and passwords so that you'll manually have to put in all the information

I’ve uninstalled Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook apps for that very reason 💜

Don’t use legacy social media apps of any kind.

have X for football content and memes, if i’d have that kind of content and discussion on nostr, i’d delete in in an instant

I think you have your answer.

just because i want to consume something, doesn’t mean i want to create it on nostr

I hear you on that. There were some things on Twitter that I liked to consume, along with the YouTube app. I especially miss having that one, but after deleting it, I use my phone with a lot more intention and not instinctively scrolling while waiting in line somewhere. Always there are tradeoffs.

yeah, i like watching podcasts a lot, helps me keep more concentrated (especially because of the subtitles support)

you win some, you lose some

Turn off all notifications.

Remove all social media apps.. but Nostr.

Nostr is 80% of my screentime, now what?

Get a hobby? Wood-working, cars, gardening?

i have numerous hobbies, my brain is just used to the constant stimulation i get from using my phone

addicteded

Ambitious. I’m too lazy to get addicted lol…

“I gotta read shit other people say.. and write a post?… no thanks”😂

Black and white mode

Just throw it away

Flush it down the shitter.
