sometimes you wanna check the time without having to get your phone, and risking spending precious minutes of your life looking at bullshit on the internet
password protect your phone, you arent required to give cops a password (unlike biometrics). and then unless you make the active decision to go through the momentary inconvenience to unlock the phone, it is essentially a pocket watch.
if you cant keep yourself from inputting your password to unlock your phone to look at cat videos, how do you stop yourself from pulling it out of your pocket to do so
because it's in my pocket? anyway, my main point is that it's not necessarily bourgeois decadence to own a watch, unless it's some fancy rolex or a techbro spy machine
i really dont understand whats so difficult to get about this. it takes more time and effort to enter a password than it does to remove your phone from your pocket.
let's take it back to the beginning, because Mao tells us to do things thoroughly.
I want to check the time:
I have a cheap watch = I see the time and I go about my day
I use my phone = I see the time and oh, a notification, or, hmm I wonder if something is happening on hexbear, let's check since the phone is already in my hand (I use fingerprint so it's easy for me)
That is my experience, I can see that yours might be different and that's fine.
i've got my lockscreen code in the muscle memory (also my phone has a fingerprint reader so it's even faster), whereas pulling out the phone is hard because i've got big hands and they get stuck in my pockets lol
(also my phone has a fingerprint reader so it’s even faster)
im going to quote the part where i advised against this
password protect your phone, you arent required to give cops a password (unlike biometrics)
it was based on this premise (that you are being smart with your security by not using biometrics) that i said it is more difficult to unlock your phone than to pull it out of your pocket

yeah, a pocket watch with access to memes and cat videos 😅

inputting your password is a stronger barrier than taking it out of your pocket though
:jesse-wtf:

that is not what we're talking about here at all.
then this has all been big misunderstanding
