Today's linkblog is a long one. Maybe a bit rambly. Next week's will likely be better.

Honestly, I don't think that rambly is a bad thing for a blog to be. I liked it. Fully agreed on productivity, by the way- I think it's a shame that there's such cultural focus on productivity over all else, especially when the definition of productivity seems to exclude things like the arts and social connection.

Thanks, appreciate you saying so. Yeah, I think a lot of it stems from "hustle culture". Not to mention the endless stream of self-help gurus trying to make a quick buck.

Being quoted by a REAL writer feels strange to me.

Well, I thought it was an interesting piece. I do make a living writing and I do use my own name for the site. But I don't know if that makes me any more "real" than anyone else who writes on the internet.

100% agree that the AI conversation should focus more on labor and toxic productivity. Looking forward to clicking through the links you gave. Also really appreciate your perspective on online communities and their failures. Very happy to have found occasionally, content and bearblog. :)

Can vouch for "dumbphones". I've been hapily using one for a year now and have no regrets, although I'm sure not all of my friends feel the same way as I'm not super reachable. Mine has a hotspot feature which was what made me switch. If I absolutely must use the internet out and about, then at least I'd like to do it on my laptop to be spared mobile formatted websites : p

It's cool to hear from someone who uses one directly. The only thing stopping me from making the switch at the moment is that I travel quite a bit, and a smartphone can be helpful in that regard. But once my current phone finally dies, I'm planning to brave the switch.

May I ask, which model are you using? My partner and I have discussed making thw switch, but still on that quest to find the perfect balance.

Using a Lightphone, I have some reservations about recommending (bad battery life and support outside of the US), but for my purposes it get's the job done. It definitely helps that I really don't travel (I'd be hesitant about using it outside of my city, as in my country it has very limited support). I went with it because I wanted a full keyboard and the hotspot, but many phones offer the latter
