You win an illustrious prize

But you have no idea

Because you're in #digitaldetox and completely unreachable

'Jeffrey Bluestone, a friend of Ramsdell’s and co-founder of the lab, said the researcher deserves credit but he can’t reach him, either.

“I have been trying to get a hold of him myself. I think he may be backpacking in the backcountry in #Idaho,” Bluestone told AFP.'

Sometimes I feel the need to go back to analog.

A close-up, eye-level shot of a man's hairy forearm wearing a vintage Longines Automatic watch. The watch has a round silver face with simple bar indices, and a date window on the right showing the number 28. It's on a black leather strap. The watch is worn loosely on the wrist.

I just removed #DuckDuckGo as my default search engine and from my search engines in general, because they keep promoting their AI bullshit and because the ddg seaches for "ban ai", "ai ban" and the same in German yields 0 results - while when removing the quotes you get a lot of AI propaganda.

I now use @Mojeek and hope I won't be disappointed (PS: I already am. Mojeek is also AI bs.).

On mobile I used the ddg app as my browser the past months and since I don't have it in me to do the research for the least suckiest mobile browser again I'll see how long I'll make it without a browser.

Lineage OS straight up freezed for half a minute because I dared to deinstall the default browser app.

Maybe I'll soon switch to a feature phone anyway. My dad is one of my most important contacts on Signal and his old iPhone refuses to update Signal, so he'll be out soon.

Also I don't want to depend on toxic F-Droid anymore.
