What do you do for "idle time" on your phone? (lemmy.ml)

A couple weeks ago, I deleted social media off my phone. Insta and reddit was all that was left, but I noticed how much of a useless time sink they were becoming. My daily mood has also improved.

Now, I've been reading manga and playing chess online to fill the gap. But I'm still looking for suggestions on what else there is to do besides doom scroll. It's not like I'm outlawing the internet entirely, I still have interests and hobbies etc, but I'm open to just about anything.

Oooo, I should try that! I have been using KU, which I know isn't awesome, but did allow romance authors to break the publishing model (fascinating story: https://freakonomics.com/podcast/romance-novels/). And there's a part of me that wants to give the middle finger to publishers who took in a bunch of money from romance books to pay for books/authors that would never recoup their costs.

My friend Anna started up an archive of some sort; you should check it out. At least that’s what she told me over dinner the other night.

And a certain archive my friend Anna seems to be running. Not that I know anything about it; she mentioned it at dinner the other evening.
