It is what it is, better than dying.
You're right about that, but I understand that it is annoying. Less life threatning, but also annoying is the multi factor authenticator phone app I frequently have to use at work.
But I made my phone so boring that I don't really get tempted to check other things when I only need the authenticator.
Seems phones are sold purely around their camera ability and AI fucktardery these days.
The camera is one thing I do like about my phone. I love taking photographs of nice sceneries or moments I want to capture.
But then again I hate it when people in public take their phones to photograph their plate (it is FOOD!) or those who film entire concerts so they can share where they have been, but missed the concert itself because they were too busy filming it 🤨
Phones annoy me and I wish I didn't have to have one. Sure, convenient in many aspects but I remember life when I didn't have to carry a computer in my pocket and I lied it better. Alas, for my health, it's indispensable as the phone operates systems that keep my Alice on a minute by minute basis and so I have a phone everywhere I go. Sucks.
What else sucks? All the 2FA nutbaggery but that also comes with the landscape, the digital world I guess. It's all too much really, the way things have "progressed" and where it's going.
