At those times I'm really glad I prefer my desktop over my phone. When I get up and leave, I'm way less likely to check social media. (Granted, nowadays social media for me is just YouTube and Lemmy, but... you know.)
It's a great MP3 player though. And gameboy.
Cutting out socials was the best move on my part. I’ve only got Lemmy, Snapchat which I only use for messaging, Instagram which I only really use to follow bands and message, and YouTube

I carry my phone when I am out as literally for emergency if I need to be contacted. In over 21 years since I have been using mobile phones, the number of times I have been contacted for emergencies has been-- zero. Yup, that is how important mobile phone is to me, it's always a "just in case" emergency device.
I'm being sarcastic on my comment but thankfully i have not been contacted nor have to contact anyone for any emergencies.
I'm reading this while out on a walk, i feel attacked
Walks go hard with headphones and music though.
I mostly carry it as a pedometer.
Sometimes? Even when I was young, the Computer RoomTM is where I spent most of my day.
I was never rich enough to afford a whole room for a computer
Maybe they mean back when computers where big as rooms?
You can still achieve this by pretending the WiFi only exists in one room in your house and behaving according to it. Or rather going into airplane mode anywhere outside that room.
