The irony.

What’s the irony? You have a tendency to appear in any thread about phones preaching the Gospel of Digital Detox without seeming to consider the level of privilege required to be able to live like that. Could I do it? Sure. Is life too goddamn short from my perspective to do it? Also sure.

I don't remember advocating digital detox anywhere. Are you mistaking me for someone else?

But I do advocate pretty strongly for open phones because they are becoming indispensable for leading a normal life without becoming a digital hermit.

They should be either open and indispensable or closed and dispensable, not indispensable and closed at the same time.

Ah sorry, mistook you for OP.
