Reading it in Spanish is a pain in the ass even for a native speaker, book is from the 1600s so you can imagine the language is really different to what it is today. I imagine there must be some version in "current language", but in school we were told to read the original and it was a pain, didn't get past the first quarter then and never tried reading it again

I mean you can set it so that only your friends see your posts. And they are French so I suppose they at least follow GDPR. But yeah, of course it collects your data and all that stuff like all social media

Haven't used Skype for years to talk to friends or family, but kept using it until now when I needed to call some place in my home country (usually banks) by "real" phone call, because support via internet either sucks or doesn't exist at all. Now looking for alternatives...

I have mixed feelings about that company. They have some interesting things "going against the flow" like ditching the cloud and going back to on prem, hating on microservices, advocating against taking money from VCs, and now hiring juniors. On the other hand, the guy is a Musk fanboy and they push some anti-DEI bullshit. Also he's a TypeScript hater for some reason...

"Buying storage and compute services from Lidl" is a wild sentence I never thought I'd say haha

Hey this was really cool! Thanks for sharing :)

I've been thinking about trying it out for a while but not sure if it would work out for me. However I have an old Android with only Spotify installed that I take to the gym and I'm really liking it, maybe I will start using it more in other places as well.

Olauncher - Minimal AF Launcher (github.com)
 

Found this really cool and minimal Android launcher the other day.

For the past few months I've been using a side (smart)phone where I only installed Whatsapp and Spotify. Just an old Android I found in the bottom of a drawer. This has worked well for me, and Olauncher is a nice touch that makes it feel even more minimal. I sometimes go out only with the side phone or leave the main phone on my bag. As a result I get much less distracted than before.

I know this doesn't qualify as a dumphone, but I thought I could share in case someone who is not ready yet to make the switch to dumbphone finds it interesting.

Academic paper on dumbphone adoption (acris.aalto.fi)
 

Came across this paper the other day. I'm yet to read it fully, but its existence is interesting already. Dumbphones have now gathered attention from the media and the academic world too.

Bochum avoids relegation in epic playoff comeback against Düsseldorf (www.youtube.com)
 

They turned around a 3-0, and won in penalties (6-5, went to sudden death)

I think more leagues should have relegation playoffs. One last chance of salvation for the upper team, one last chance of promotion for the lower team, and a thrilling game for the neutral fans.

Got annoyed by my gym (sopuli.xyz)
 

So I joined a new gym last year and was pleasantly surprised. They gave me a smart card to get in and out, that's it, no app, no accounts, no nothing. Well, today I got to the gym and saw the announcement that they are phasing out the access with the smart card and starting to use, you guessed it, an app.

Now, I know this is not such a big deal in the grand scheme of things. But I'm just tired of this trend of replacing perfectly functioning systems with apps (public transport tickets come to mind). Just more ways to harvest people's data, I guess...

Ah and by the way, in my previous gym they not only required an app for accessing the place, they also incentivized people to track their workouts, meals and bodyweight using the gym's app (of course I never used any of these features).

The Dumbphone Boom Is Real (www.newyorker.com)
 

Stumbled upon this article about the rising popularity of dumbphones.

Hope this community starts getting more traction :)

As for my journey, I am still on a "dumb smartphone" phase, an old phone with only Whatsapp and Spotify. I've been considering making the switch to a dumb phone or at least a candybar smartphone like the Qin F21.
