    I still remember my childhood home phone number, but I don’t need to memorise any phone number anymore. I still have them archived for everyone I care to know in a cloud synced joplin file. That also includes birthdays. I can barely remember my own let alone other peoples.

    GPS I’d be fucked without. Aphantasia and a horrible sense of direction. I’m glad I missed the paper map era. I only know the routes I have driven multiple times, so a large portion of the core city and satellite towns.

    I don’t use Facebook at all. Deleted that shit in 2014.

    Don’t use AI very often outside of questions where a traditional web search isn’t or is no longer viable due to enshittification and gameified results. Begrudgingly, and I check the sources. No trusting a sanitized corporate sycophant bot. But it’s not like those traditional web searches weren’t buried in misinfo, disinfo, or AI spam articles either. People seem to willfully not acknowledge that.

    Edit: I also read paper books and go to my local library.
