1:37 Well, I guess that I’m the lucky one who has root access on my phone out of the box XD
I own (probably) the first "smartphone" that came with Linux by default and was manufactured by a Finnish company, that manufactured a small weapon of death, that could kill everyone, who got hit by it. Of course, I’m speaking about Nokia.
The Nokia N900 came with Linux and I was even able to install different Linux distribution on it and make it run the latest Linux kernel ^^
Definitely a better phone than the Google/Apple Spybricks that are so common nowadays XD
Only limitation is that I have to use a portable Huawei wifi router in order to get 5G connectivity on this phone

I’m quite confident that I could replace my phone with a notebook, as I only use it to log my observations, track tasks, set reminders and update my calendar, but your remark on the habit one develops when faced with nothing to do really hit home for me. I imagine that without a phone to sink my attention, I would quickly look for something to do and I would probably be better, stronger, more productive.

I’m gonna lose some nerd cred here, but I have an iPhone. I only really use it for work, the only non work people who have the number are my siblings. I keep the thing on shelf at home and dont interact with it 90% of the time. I’ve thought about getting something like 3310, but… I have to use authenticator for work, and having the hotspot for in the field work is really nice.

You really should make a video/ write a guide for living by your ideals. The guide would contain stuff like this; finding a balance between privacy and practicality. You could include stuff like this as well as general rules/ axioms to try to follow when practical. I find myself getting closer and closer to actually having to "adult", and I worry quite a bit about how my decision to keep my privacy may affect living as and adult. I feel like a good portion of your audience may be in this same position.

@1:42 I can have barebone system without Google apps by using a custom rom. I guess you could sideload a browser that is unrelated to Google and download Fdroid as a open source webstore but your Android device would lose a lot of functionality – e. g. an integrated safety measure which scans suspicious apps – and some really good apps aren’t available on Fdroid and require Google apps. You can limit your exposure by installing the bare minimum of Google apps. No one needs root access if a custom rom is installed.

I don’t like cell phones but I feel like it’s too late to go back. My boss expects me to text her and other employees on the job for keeping everyone in the loop, I have colleagues that insist on coordinating time sensitive things through mobile apps, if I don’t reply to certain friends throughout the day they take it personally and the friendship suffers, and my job would be much harder without on the spot access to the internet. Maybe I need to look into free and open alternatives in the mobile computing space?

You can also use custom android ROMs with limited or no gapps at all but the process of installing them depends on your phone vendor. Same goes for rooting.
My best smarthopne experience was with Nexus 4, no locks at all, I just got Cyanogenmod/LineageOS package with root and minimal gapps setup and I felt happy with it. No ads, no bullshit.

I think the problem with cell phones is for some reason every human being in existence has completely forgotten that they have an off switch.
You *can* turn your phone off. You can carry it with you and just leave it the hell off until you need it.
And then set the expectation with acquaintances that you are simply not available 24/7 and may have to wait.
As to your comment about the reflex to grab the phone when you have a quantum of free time, when it’s off, you have to boot the thing.
And frankly if I’m in a waiting room at some doctor’s office I’m booting that shit up.
But if I’m waiting to cross the street, probably not.
I like cell phones. It’s the actualization of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy plus a whole lot more. I’m just not in favor of kneeling before it like a golden calf, but it is really, really easy not to do that.
