Thank you for sharing these links, this is some very interesting context to Orwell and his writing. It seems I read 1984 quite naively, though some things did seem off even then.
It is actually Android 10+, but I think the automatic updates only work for Android 12+ :)
I have it a try and it still has some growth ahead before it is useful in my eyes.
Edit: correction, the latest release is still Android 12+, but the next release will support 10+
On some level yes, but ultimately the worst cases of poorly invested time make me learn to spend my time better, so it wasn’t entirely wasted - I like to think of it as a learning experience.
What I am more concerned about is subtle time wasting, sprinkled all throughout daily life in the form of various technologies and media mainly. It’s so hard to get a feeling for how much time you are really spending there and it’s even harder to escape it.
