  • From your post, it appears you may be overestimating the degree of control individuals have over their actions.

    Well I said “I don’t know what other people issues are” because I do understand the difficult on this, so I don’t “overestimate” this. For me wasn’t easy, but that was long time ago when I saw my issues with those apps that their main function is to keep us addicted to those notification sounds and scrolling shit-content on their sites. Or care more about other people life than our own life.

    What I mean is, you are not going to use a “typewriter” to work instead a computer where you are addicted to play games, you should control yourself and not install those apps on your computer. As a computer is very useful to search on internet, Wikipedia, and work on many other things. Instead of downgrade your tools, you should upgrade yourself and learn to control yourself, it’s not easy, but you can start uninstalling all those apps on your smartphone instead using Dumb Phone.


  • I remember being addicted to that, I was addicted to the phone notifications. But I flashed a custom OS and stopped to give attention to my phone by not installing those games or social media apps, I have absolutely the minimum apps I can.

    I don’t know what other people issues are, but that dumb phone isn’t what you should be using at the end, as many things as I said like bank accounts will require you to have a smartphone to protect your account.

    I think you’re missing a big tool just because you don’t know how to use it correctly, with smartphone you can also record calls from companies trying to lie/scam you and reclaim it, and many things, if you just don’t install any other wasting time app. I already saw this Dumb Phone long time ago and that’s why I say this, you need to learn to not install stupid/wasting time apps.

    Like you would do on your PC to be productive, instead of installing games, you need to have no games and try to focus on productivity. Instead add restrictions to yourself, you need to train your brain.












  • Well, this way they could install dependencies anyway just automatically, so you don’t see them unless you read before accepting the installation. I still can read this:

    Install and configure the necessary dependencies
    sudo yum install -y curl policycoreutils-python openssh-server perl

    And then:

    Add the GitLab package repository and install the package
    curl https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ee/script.rpm.sh | sudo bash

    So they do some magic here, the script just installs the repository, so I can’t see exactly any dependency they are currently using.
