  • Eh, I see no reason to switch to a dumb phone, because I don’t think I’m that bad with my current phone. My main User profile on GrapheneOS is pretty minimal when it comes to apps, it’s mostly messaging, banking, navigation, workout and music (I should probably move Lemmy and Pixelfed to a different profile, but they both have pretty little potential for scrolling for too long since the new content is naturally limited).
    The only game on this profile is the one I’m developing as a hobby project lol

    All the annoying Apps (Secondary Email, Amazon, Aliexpress, Linkedin, Smartlife, Grocery store coupon apps etc) are banished to a secondary profile that has no permission to run in the background or send any notifications.






  • I recently switched from Motorola to a Pixel 9 and I’m very happy! Absolutely hated the 5 minutes that the Pixel was running stock Android tho (they remapped the Off button to an AI button and I couldn’t figure out how to power down the phone), but once that crap was gone and GrapheneOS was installed I stayed 100% content. I’m not even a particularly security focused person, but Graphene’s dedication to keeping bloatware and unnecessary dumb shit off the OS has been very appreciated





  • Colloquially, the word “robot” always implies a certain amount of anthropomorphism. So no, I don’t think a vibrator would count, as basically no vibrators on the market try to look human-like.

    But that definitely is a weird difference between male and female sexuality - the sex toys women buy most are the very effective and utilitarian ones: Vibrator wands, Rabbits, Air pulse Vibrators etc.

    While the most popular tools for men tend to focus on “realism”(?): Fleshlights, Sex Dolls, things like VR and POV porn. And I guess sex robots would fall into that category too in the future.

    I can absolutely see the weirdness-factor of someone who is desperately trying to emulate a partner rather than just accept masturbation as a solo activity and optimize it from there 😬
