Phone? Nah. It's only a tool, used for photography, maps/navigation, messaging while on the go, shopping lists and phone calls for that one time a month you need to make one. Maybe other stuff sometimes, like making a bank transfer when not at home or editing OSM.
I used to be indirectly addicted to it. It was actually doomscrolling Reddit, but now that I'm off it I don't get the urge anymore.
My desktop is a different story, I'm kind of addicted to it while I'm at home; when outside I don't really miss it.
Yes, for maps and speed traps, to reach my loved ones, for being reachable, to provide connection to my notebook so that I can work outside or not at home, and so on...
It's one of the main tech innovations of the last 30 years, I find it ok to be addicted to it, as we were addicted to electricity 50 years ago but we could still survive somehow without for a small time
no because I only have one for work or certain things so its the same way im not addicted to facebook or twitter as I don't use them. Now if I had a smartphone options as different from a smartphone as the federation is from reddit, well then I would be addicted.
No i barely use it. Come on lemmy sometimes, and other than that its just for texting, emails, phonecalls, and gps all of which are rare for me to do. I mostly use it for work. My battery lasts forever as a result i charge it like every 2-3 days and its old so youd think it would drain faster.
i checked and in the last 4 days i have 3 hrs 18mins of screen time and 1 hr of that is a messenging app i kept checking last night and leaving open as i was waiting for a message.
Nope, I have a lot better things to do than look at a tiny handheld screen.
Let me guess, looking at a large screen on a desk?
Looking at my usage, especially last Sunday, yeah.
Yes, I know, I tried both Firefox and Vivaldi, both had some things I quite didn't like, I keep trying them like every 3 months.
Sorry, I can't name them, I keep forgetting the specific issues.
