When I was younger I loved tech and everything related to computers. Now I am nearly 30, and I hate tech more each day. Not only it’s a waste of time, it becomes worse and less user friendly every year.
I screen, you screen, we all screen for I screen.

I’m older than you but otherwise the same. Seems like everything is going in the wrong direction thanks to corpos trying to wring as much money as possible out of it rather than making it as useful to people as possible.

Buy 3 bicycles! 1st an electric commuter/cargo bike so you can run errands without a car. 2nd a road/hybrid bike for fun and exercise on paved paths. 3rd a mountain bike so you can enjoy more nature. (an eMTB if they’re allowed on your local trails can combine all 3 bikes if you want)

I feel you. And I work in tech (maybe you do too, idk). Point is, I’d need a bicycle AND a career change…
drathvedro@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Just don’t make the mistake I’ve did at buying an electric bicycle. The controllers for the engines are mostly proprietary barely sewn together noname pieces of garbage, that you’d need some bullshit adapters and obscure software to flash settings in.
Also don’t dig yourself too deep into cycling. There are good quality bicycles at a cost of a motorcycle or even a used car, and then there’s aliexpress specials made of whatever was lying around, but there are very few in-between options. I’d suggest just getting the latter and throwing it out when it breaks or you get bored.

Right, and for some reason replacing “screen” with “paper” makes it somehow not a problem?
AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Screens are actually bad for our health…

So is the ink on paper if you eat too much of it.

Are they? Most studies I have read on that matter are… not good science, to put on nice words.

It’s a balance :)
Hackworth@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Yes, but most of them involve constant interaction with people that have forgotten how to interact with people.
TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Not to be the cliche guy… But trades work was my answer
I abhor interacting with people… Now I have maybe 4 people to talk to in a whole day. I just do my job and go home
Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Trust me, we got screens there too now.
Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 6 months ago
And the more control you have over the work the more screen time you get. My family has a lot of contractors, and my dad left that to work trades for the government. Before my dad died he spent most of his day on his computer, even though it was his least favorite part, but he was the head of his department. My contractor uncles all spend hours a day on screens, calls, orders, book keeping, meetings, drafting, reading specifications, reading contracts, etc., now that they are the head of businesses that have younger people doing most of the physical work.
dingus@lemmy.world 5 months ago
My job involves utilizing a screen all day, but I actually only tend to frequently glance up at it and don’t spend a lot of time staring directly at it. I use voice dictation software for my job so I just do quick checks that it’s working and I’m on the right screen essentially. Most of my work is with my hands and it can be pretty neat! There are a lot of kinds of jobs out there!
MehBlah@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Yes but you get board hanging on the back of garbage truck so you take a screen with you.

I enjoyed looking at this on my small screen while listening to something playing on my big screen.

Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Yes, because doing accounting on paper is the same as reading a book. And listening to your boss is the same as listening to your friends.

And rope bondage play with the wife is the same as tying down loads of sheet metal on the back of delivery truck.

Total: 46 hrs, 45 min Average: 6 hrs, 40 min per day
After subtracting Maps (driving, not looking at phone) and work ticketing app:
Total: 24 hrs 39 minutes Average: 3hrs, 31 minutes per day

What happened on Wednesday?
Berttheduck@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
Wow that’s a lot of phone time. The only time I get close to that amount of screen time is when I’m doing a long drive using maps to get there. My average looks to be around 1-3. Though mine doesn’t work it out nicely like yours.
underKap@lemm.ee 6 months ago
woaah look at this score, i don’t know the average, but im sure it’s above, respect. Consider using horse blinkers, that way you optimize even more that score.
dingus@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Wow how did you manage to reach almost 13 hours for a lot of those days? I consider myself chronically online, but my highest this week was just over 6 hours lol.

Size is what matters. You need to judge people by their screen sizes.
urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 6 months ago
phone = like an hour texting, since music is screen off. laptop: all the time I don’t have to sleep in school or at home, so about 6h
that is not many hours of time :( I want a refund.

As a psychiatric nurse, during my work day I watch my screen for about 1 out of 8 hours. When I come home I like to spend some time behind the screen. I sometimes wonder if it is necessary that so many people work behind screens. Shouldn’t we get more people to work as nurses, teachers but also craftsman, handyman, etc. This may sound as a naive and romantic thought, and I’m sure a lot of the work behind screens is extremely useful and efficient. But still I wonder if we haven’t somehow lost focus of what’s important.
