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 😆

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

Bryan Cranston kind-of? He had some minor movie roles before television and then larger movie roles after.

Will Ferrell, technically. Plus most of the other SNL actors who started there and did films later (though many of those were based on SNL skits). Tina Fey, though, plays it straight. She started as a writer, joined the cast of SNL, and did TV and movies later. Granted, I wouldn't call any of them "movie stars".
