This week in the Disconnect Roundup, I’m thinking about whether it’s feasible to ditch my smartphone. Plus, the usual recommended reads, labor updates, and other news you might have missed.

@parismarx I don't think smartphones are bad, as a technology. Their planned obsolescence and average use case however is another thing.

Kicking off every social media app, together with dedicated "news" apps takes care of most of the problems IMO. If you are a purist, don't use email on the device.

@koen_hufkens My solution so far has been to turn off most notifications, keep the phone on silent, and only put a few apps on the home screen, leaving the rest in the library folders.
