the iphone is the greatest tool we have for learning and creation. but most of us are diminished by the gravity of consumption. try removing all those apps for 3 days.

have thought about this, just a mass amount of apps that point your attention towards consumption rather than production. Which do you keep around? Notes app seems to be all you need haha

I basically just use one and my consumption is at an all time high. Try guessing which app :)

To consumption I’d add surveillance. Imagine what people could do if not every metric was tracked, evaluated and force fed back to them to modify their thoughts and behaviors.
The money is broken and by design has created a consumer culture. Hopefully, Bitcoin fixes the consumer culture. Then humanity uses tools like Nostr to fix their social consuming habbit. We are winning.
It’s seamless in Canary, it just encrypts and signs. I agree some of the old ones where you do it manually suck.

Yesterday morning, I was totally reducing my app count on my old phone (not iphone) cos it's super slow and stared at the watch duty app which I kept. Then shortly after you posted about it. Soooo interesting... 🌞
im not alone! I always feel like I need to just buckle down and learn how it works while simultaneously being annoyed that is necessary...

I was able to hold out from getting an iPhone until 2019 (went from a Blackberry in 2010 to a simple flip) - when my children’s school required a specific app to receive communications. Even my car insurance company now requires use of their app to report an incident for roadside assistance. So many apps could be deleted as an experiment but in some cases you will be cut off from an organization/ company you need to access.

Agreed. Prison can be great for creative thinking with all the regular life distractions removed... ...until the abuse starts. Hope you all trapped there get out safely before Apple's d!¢|(™ comes. #ios #iphone #apple #walledgarden

Wondering how we can have Bitcoin have a good UX while focusing on sovereign custody

my cat poppy is gonna snuggle into your phone until you are home safe. be pleasant to her. she will help you - talk to her in notes. she will send me messages if you need anything. you always said you wanted a cat and a sail boat. this is the best i can do. maybe listen to her too - might change you mind about a few things... stubborn ass. she will leave you if you are mean. 🎈☕️
