If "phone" is your hobby, you need some real hobbies.
Bigger phone maybe?
So a tablet?
You don’t understand the issue
i have too many hobbies, so I don’t do any of them and instead just ✨PHONE✨
I'm not a procrastinator, I'm just a temporarily embarrassed polymath.
Instead saying your hobby is phone, say: my hobby is collecting dopamine.
That's everyone hobby, to varying degrees of success.
I'm a huge fan of collecting hobbies. It keeps me curious, and every now and then one sticks pretty hard.
But to keep yourself sane, you also need to accept that you won't master most hobbies you dabble in. I am a pretty good woodworker. I do some pretty neat 3D printing projects. I'm a decent gamer. I'm fairly good at the shotgun range. I used to be pretty good at racquetball. But I'm not great at any of it.
The only one I got really good at is scuba diving, so I actually picked up a side gig teaching scuba and underwater photography at a university. Underwater photography gets pricey fast, but now I can share the joy of it with students while letting them use my camera gear while writing it all off.
I agree, but i also feel like theres some poor phrasing on OPs part. Rarely, even if you have problems, is your hobby just "phone". A phone is a tool, what are you using it for? If your answer is social media, thats your hobby, not "phone". People absolutely will bond through social media, as difficult as i personally find it, so social media does unfortunately count as a "hobby" i really cant doss beyond it being basic. Gaming on your phone is just as valid a use of your phone, and id have a lot more respect for gamers. Unless theyre playing the match 3/CoC games. Mobile does have good games, but theyre hard to find.
Welp, that's still fairly broad.
Ere-yesterday I spoke with a guy who's hobby was just that. For about an hour.
So... he daily drives Fairphone 5 with Ubuntu touch, but played around with just about any distribution.
When I asked him about PostmarketOS, he suddenly pulled out a laptop, rummaged through his backpack, finally pulling out a PinePhone, and went on to reflash it from Sailfish OS.
Unfortunately, his laptop suddenly decided it doesn't feel like writing data to any external storage.
I didn't know you can just access the storage of PinePhone directly. That means I could just easily do full backups and not worry about bricking it.
Though he doesn't recommend it due to being expensive and under-powered. Both of us independently agreed on Oneplus 6 being best candidate for PostmarketOS.
Okay for thousands of people, phone hobby
Edit: which is literally dozens
It means they are enthralled by social media as the algorithm consumes countless hours of their free time.
