been trying to lower my social presence on services as of late, may go inactive randomly as a result.

    I’m starting to head this direction, at least mobile-wise. I haven’t yet because trying to live life without a cell phone is just not pleasant, But the only thing I really use my cell phone for is Discord, Firefox, and the camera

    Mobile gaming, which I primarily had got a phone in the first place for has gone down the tube, It seems like every mobile game can fit into one of 4 categories.

    • The live-action-style ones like Clash of Clans that you need money to progress in.
    • The simulation idlers Where you don’t actually do anything, You just upgrade every once in a while.
    • The match 3 clones where it disguises as a different game but the primary focus is matching,
    • The bleed you dry energy style games where every action you do costs some form of in-game energy. That takes real time to regenerate.

    Used to be able to find puzzlers or simulation games that were outside of that genre, but you can’t really anymore. I’m still circulating the same 4 games from when I had an s9 8ish years ago.

    Social media is thoroughly screwed. You can’t go on there without some sort of ideology being pushed at you or toxicity.

    Voice-mails and messaging is hit or miss of whether or not it’s someone trying to scam you.

    every application out there wants to harvest every bit of data about your life because almost no country has any type of actual regulation against the collection of personal data.

    Every once in a while, I look back to see how feasible it would be to go without, but far too many services require a phone number. Any platform worth its salt uses some form of two-factor authentication, which generally is either text message or an app-based two-factor.

    Hell, It’s hard enough finding a bank that doesn’t require a cell phone. I just dumped my last bank due to that reason. They reconsolidated into a slightly larger company, and when they did, that parent company decided that consumers shouldn’t have the ability to write their own checks. So if I wanted to write a check, I had to log into the phone app, and then select Send a check, wait four to six business days for the bank to actually send the check themselves, and then wait for the three to four days on top of that to actually receive payments. I closed the account as soon as I got confirmation my funds transfered
