Idiomdrottning demonstrates a new and often cleaner way to solve most systems problems. The system as a whole is likely to feel tantalizingly familiar to culture users but at the same time quite foreign.

People hated meetings and phone calls and even answering machines so our current world of short text messages is one we strived for years in order to finally build. People hated reading books, too, that was for eggheads and nerds. So boring. And even watching TV was boring. Even after they made 500 channels the meme...
Okay before we get into it, for people not familiar with my review style: I’m not really doing good “consumer advice” here on which board game you should buy. I’m doing reviews more for other design nerds like myself who like to pick apart and study board game design in and of itself. For making new games or new...
In furniture antique means at least a hundred years old but in the world of phones I’m seeing the word “antique” being used for all pulse dialing phones. Mine is 50 years old, it’s an Ericsson Dialog rotary dial phone. How? Via Bluetooth to a cellphone. Is this eco friendly? Nope, it’s another wallwart + the...
Shaun’s Palestine video from 1½ years ago encapsulates one of the best arguments against digital minimalism. Evil foreign policy and arms shipments (along with climate denial and queerphobia) can thrive in a world where we just suddenly take away all phones without building other communication networks and...
So my version of the Omelas story would have a city, not especially utopian but comfy enough for the top sixth or so. The other five sixths are working their knuckles to the bone to support the comfy ones. Even among the comfy ones the wealth gaps are intense with one guy having many times as the others combined and...
The calendar emoji is useless and misleading since the example date is so clearly readable 📆 that people don’t understand that it’s an ipsum. Even people who know can misread it. It’s only good if you’re actually talking about literally July 17th (WhatsApp can go to heck). Setting it to today’s date doesn’t make...
In digital minimalism I’m always like “could people in 1978 do this?” Could they send letters and place calls? Then it’s okay that I use the digital equivalent of that. Were they always reachable? Nope. So then it’s okay that I walk away from internet sometimes. Could they listen to headphones? Maybe not audio books...
I really oppose market capitalism and it’s up to its defenders to patch the bugs, for example by acquiescing to environmental regulation (like an ETS) and labor laws. And I’ve proposed banning the network effect and ending copyright. Of course, there are those who want to replace market capitalism entirely and I’m...
I’ve said before that switching to headphones gives five percent of the benefits (attention, awareness, mindfulness) that going fully phoneless would give for one percent of the effort which is a 400% savings that I’ve applied in my own life and I more often than not (but not always) had headphones with a podcast,...
Vi ser då och då listor i media med vilka jobb som AI kommer kunna ersätta. Vet inte hur dom resonerar men så här tänker jag själv, att det kanske gäller iframtiden om AI blir mycket bättre än hur det är nu, för nu är det kasst. Men den framtiden kan komma väldigt snabbt och plötsligt. Jag tycker att det är bra att...
