Finland just activated "Do Not Disturb" for an entire generation! 📱❌ New law restricts phone use in schools, requiring teacher permission for devices. Love this quote about stopping schools from being "colonised by digital platforms" - though my feed suggests the cats already won that war 😼 #EdTech #DigitalWellbeing

Gen Z. Smartphones. Tech-intentional living.

I spoke to 16 year old student Rose Pepper about what it’s like to use @thelightphone — a minimalist phone designed for people who want to live more intentionally.

The conversation is now available to listen on #Apple Podcasts and #Spotify on the Super Connected™ Conversations #Podcast.

Thanks to the person who recommended the Android Mastodon client Pachli a few days ago. I like it a lot and it has some features that made me switch.

1. Im old enough to appreciate the slider for post text size (presbyopia) 🙏
2. The wellbeing screen :cat_thx: I often find it hard to resist to check my phone if there is one of these red bubble icons with "x!" new notifications for new messages, likes etc popping up. Notifications are disrupting, they can subconsciously cause a feeling of missing something, which can lead to stress and addiction to the instant gratification. It's how social media and "likes" work and how we've been trained involuntarily.

This setting allows it to hide these stats. I no longer see how many boosts or likes a post gets (of course I still appreciate likes and boosts - I just don't have to quantify them). And it's it's deliberating. I highly recommend to give it a try if you can relate.

It feels like nowadays, marketing psychology leans more towards persuading people to make purchases rather than genuinely helping them decide if they'd like to buy something or not.
