In my quest to reclaim my attention capacity, I have come to a realization: the life I chose requires a smartphone, but it is also the worst offender it terms of ruining my focus.

Fortunately, I can make my phone less of a nuisance and still benefit from its convenience.

ergaster.orgTIL that I can ask my smartphone to respect my attentionIf my phone is making me miserable my constantly nagging me for attention, surely the solution must be to ditch it and take a dumb phone that can only place calls and send texts?Except calls are particularly intrusive interruptions, and the only texts I receive are from couriers. My family and friends use iMessage or Signal. And what about the pictures I can snap in a few seconds by pulling my phone from my pocket? What about GPS navigation? What about those parking lots where you can only pay with an app? What if I need to order a cab in a country I don't speak the language of? What about using my phone app as a 2FA from the bank as the PSD2 practically requires?

The usual end-of-something/something-is-doomed article on Medium.
I wonder why a lot of people insist in considering dead some technologies which are calmly and peacefully around since ages and with no intention to die, thanks to a reasonably percentage of devs and users that depend on them happily.
I have a couple of suspects, but for the usual click-bait strategy. Promoting new stuff at all costs is one of them. #dev #foss #fomo

"it's a #publicBenefitCorporation"

that has no legal bite

it means a company *may* pursue ill defined "public benefit" instead of profit

it doesn't *have* to

shallow feel good marketing

"it's #decentralized"

in theory

like #cryptocurrency hype, #bluesky promises a lot and delivers little, and #FOMO dum dums buy into the promise rather than the reality

it's only a matter of when, not if, the #crypto bro owners of bluesky do to it what #musk did to #twitter

I'm probabably going to catch a lot of flag for this, but I need to get this off my chest. I have seen so many people talk about how bad the pricepoint of the Nintendo Switch 2 is that I need to add my 2 cents, if only to counteract all those ragebait videos on youtube that I have not and will not watch.

I am really well off. I can spend a lot of money on the Nintendo Switch 2. No, I do not consider that console to be cheap. Yes, I even think it's a bit overpriced. But: Videogames are a luxury. You do not need them to survive. You want to play videogames? Chances are you already have a bunch of them. Play them, save up some money and when you're ready splurge on a good deal.

Fomo is your enemy here. You don't need to get a Nintendo Switch 2 immediately.

The Conversation U.S.

#FOMO is less about missing fun events and more about missing the opportunity to emotionally connect with people.

But reflecting on past positive social interactions can help alleviate that feeling of missing out, according to marketing professors and social psychologists buff.ly/5hP0mvo

The ConversationFeeling FOMO for something that’s not even fun? It’s not the event you’re missing, it’s the bondingAcross a series of studies, researchers dug into what really triggered FOMO – and what worked to fend it off.

#Techshit Hype – #NothingNew

The is nothing new to pointing out that our #fashionistas #mainstreaming crew push mess. Remember when drone deliveries were going to revolutionize shopping? When every major news outlet unthinkably reported that we’d have autonomous quadcopters dropping off toothpaste and Amazon boxes on our doorsteps? Or when 3D TVs were the future of entertainment, pushed so aggressively that manufacturers stopped making non-3D models for a while? Where are they now? Rotting covered in dust in […]

A lot of what people are calling #FOMO is actually something else.

When you go to bed and within 5 seconds of not falling asleep you grab your phone for some light entertainment, thats not fear of missing out!

Its FOT - fear of thinking.

You fear that thinking will make you feel sad about the world and your part in it.

#mindfulness doesn't teach you to stop thinking. It teaches you to stop fearing your thoughts, to stop judging your emotions and to turn your negative feelings into positive actions.
Empowerment is the only antidot for powerlessness.

Miss out on the distractions and concentrate on solutions.
