A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It is a tool. Make sure to use it rather than allow it to use you. For my next phone I wish I could get a dumbphone but the need to have something like Google Maps is too strong. I'll definitely just get a cheapie though, or perhaps a Fairphone.
These badboys exist - tempted to get the hotspot and navigation version.
Flip phone
Wow and even those have touch screens (most of them:-).
I just got a fairphone, and so far i have no complaints. I have also made a concerted effort to stay off corporate social media too. Kinda bored with my phone in a good way, but can still call an uber if i want to.
That somewhat sounds like perfection actually:-).
Is the touchscreen experience less smooth than a traditional smartphone?
Touchscreen is fine
I switched from a pixel 6, and i haven't really noticed anything tangibly worse. Read a lot of complaints about the camera, and i have noticed it is slightly worse, but nothing really bad at all.
The circle to select is disabled. It doesn't have wireless charging. Feel like the battery is a bit worse than the pixel, but its not bad. There's probably something else im forgetting...
All in all, very minor complaints, and i'm overall very happy with it.
Oh that's awesome! I barely use my camera as it is, so that is perfectly fine for me:-). Everything I hear about it sounds so good:-).
