  • I’ve gradually weaned off of smartphones over the last 18 months. Currently daily-driving the Minimal Phone and loving its distraction-free (or at least distraction-lite) ways.

    I may not be analog like the article is highlighting, but I have basically eliminated the doom scrolling and have reignited my passion for reading (the one “distraction” the Minimal Phone does well is being an e-reader since it’s got an e-ink screen).

    Roughly 1,600 TikTok posts were tagged #AnalogLife during the first nine months of 2025

    I’m just going to ignore the irony of that and appreciate it at face value 😆
















  • As much as I strongly (very strongly) dislike AI-generated anything, I can at least acknowledge that there can be ethical uses of it assuming you hold your nose and ignore the very likely unethical means by which the model(s) were trained.

    That said, what you described would definitely not be ethical IMO. I see where you’re coming from, I do, but I’ve never been one to fight disinformation/lies with more disinformation/lies. Beyond the slippery slope, it’s still operating in bad faith and not something I could ever consider ethical let alone welcome.
