I recently switched to a used Minimal Phone (no longer being made sadly) and its been great for this. The best thing for me is to just make the phone completely unappealing to use, but still capable of essentials. A slow refresh rate eink screen helps a lot with that.

For the authors complaints about ads, I recommend paying for ad free versions of things you truly enjoy. Budgeting will mean you consume less and have fewer choices, but enjoy it more. And if something doesn't offer an ad free experience you can pay for, that's a great reason not to use it.

It's difficult to turn your phone off if you have a spouse or children or other dependents who you can't drop communication with for hours at a time. But it's helpful to strip it down to the essentials so it doesn't double as an entertainment device.

This was the first time I'd heard that gotcha question. I just threw it at Opus 5:

    None — a bass in water is a fish, and fish are notoriously bad at music.
    
    The instrument version plays four strings as standard (five and six-string basses exist for players who want to go lower or higher), and it prefers to stay dry.

Seems like a pretty good answer to me!

Not officially, but I did add the ability to drop shared pins on the map for your friends. I also had that in mind, some of the most fun or wild moments have been on the street.

Funny how at this point election fraud is a bipartisan issue, everyone seems to believe it's happening or will happen!

Running a performance profile in Chrome doesn't back this up for me, and looking at the loop it looks like it maintains an active `Set<JellyComponent>()` of which components to update, and clears them out when they stop moving.

Agreed the comments look a bit slop-ish but I don't see anything obviously wrong with its approach, and the core loop is running in microseconds for me when nothing is happening.

Do you have reduced motion enabled? That disables all the effects.

I'd imagine that it's them doing something they earnestly want to do, but trying to lampshade something that they believe people will perceive of them or be judgmental about. Like most self-deprecating humor, people often want to signal that they're 'in' on their behaviors and not completely unaware of how they're perceived.

Funny, when I saw "FM" and "FF" I interpreted it as "Family Male" and "Family Female." But Father and Mother are those characters gender swapped!

Hard to say "entirely" when you also have a movement of people and non-profits who are also pushing for more regulation.

Being able to share and replay seeds is a big part of the StS community.

Good call, attribution shows up on desktop but it gets covered by the search on mobile. I'll be sure to nudge that up. Thanks!
