Pretty decent unless there's a lot of animation / video in them. Calling, texting, looking up something on the internet, bank app, auth app, etc all work great. Some of the stock Android components don't work super great with it, though, like the quick action buttons (though, arguably, they don't work great on any Android phone either lol).

Feels sluggish at times but that's just the e-ink being what it is. I mostly treat it like a dumb phone that's also an e-reader.

I've always joked that coding as a hobby is just digital knitting lol.

Literally me for decades. My astigmatism wasn't diagnosed until 2-3 years ago despite yearly (or semi-yearly) visits to the optometrist. Thought that was just how lights looked in the dark lol.

I've gradually weaned off of smartphones over the last 18 months. Currently daily-driving the Minimal Phone and loving its distraction-free (or at least distraction-lite) ways.

I may not be analog like the article is highlighting, but I have basically eliminated the doom scrolling and have reignited my passion for reading (the one "distraction" the Minimal Phone does well is being an e-reader since it's got an e-ink screen).

Roughly 1,600 TikTok posts were tagged #AnalogLife during the first nine months of 2025

I'm just going to ignore the irony of that and appreciate it at face value 😆

This allows for seamless communication with biological cells

Smartphones in 2040:

Whatever. As long as I can run LineageOS or Debian on it.

Please tell me they have to give me a paper ballot if I ask.

Is Optimus Prime the original "boob windows" ?

To be fair, #32 is just me.

Because if we don't build and profit from the Torment Nexus, someone else will
