Gregory's Server@cyberlyra Also no need for a phone at home.
All common areas in my home have a TV, with an attached communal mini-pc with a small keyboard-remote and a browser. No one has a good excuse to isolate themselves in a device just to fact check or research something on a phone, and end up tuning out the group by being sucked into notifications.
If you want a device for something you don't want to do in front of the group, then leave the room and don't pretend to be present when you are not.
@cyberlyra In general my view of phones is that they are like toilets. Most people probably don't want to watch you using one.
When someone pulls out a phone at a dinner table, in my head they are just taking a shit in front of everyone. Kind of a conversation killer.
I like to remove all excuses for that to happen, and be present in the real world when I am not at my desk.
