Hello Fediverse!
I’m happy to announce the Single Purpose Devices community on Lemmy, a place for discussion, sharing of ideas and recommendations about the growing trend of single purpose devices: rather than relying on a smartphone that brings you anxiety and demands attention, how about going back to the days of carrying a MP3 player, a notebook and pen and a beautiful camera?
While people join this movement for a variety of different reasons, from reclaiming digital privacy, to mental health, to evading anti-customer repair policies and malicious software updates, we can all share our own experiences and tips. See you there!
I just opened my new discman earlier today. Still kind of newfangled since it has a rechargeable battery as opposed to needing double A’s, and can read mp3’s from a micro SD card. Wouldn’t be surprised if it has a flux capacitor somewhere in there too. Back in my day… gradually nods off while muttering

Wasn’t the last (working) one destroyed in a train accident somewhere in the 80s? Not that I’m old enough to have first seen this movie back when it was released. Absolutely not.
