If you hate Instagram and the anxiety it gives you, the people you meet on there will never be really on your level, or you on theirs. You will waste your time and effort on shallower relationships that can't get deep because you want to engage with life differently and not be on social media.
Dig deep into the hobbies that give you joy, and go to as many meetups and social occasions around them as you can. Leverage your friend and family network - the people who know you, and get you - and build on it.
I try to make them as absolutely bulletproof as possible but I’m still running into problems because email is so rough.
Critical Microsoft emails for example constantly have random sketchy looking domains but are legit.
Or someone named “Don Otre Plyson” gets caught in the “DoNotReply” filter and I never see his important message.
I don’t know if I’d blindly trust AI to guess patterns better than me where I’d have no way of ever knowing if I potentially missed something.
I use and like SpamSieve for macOS but it's limited to spam/not spam. I would really like support for more categories than two.
I noticed that some emails are valid for only some hours and then it's in inbox unnecessarily giving that +1 to unread badge.
On other hand server side filtering works before arriving in inbox so you don't see for example, that parcel will arrive today. Next day you need to manually archive it. After 10-20 mails like that, if you are busy - half of inbox needlessly needs user action if you are into inbox zero.
So while that would work for calls, does that also behave as expected for SMS and MMS?
Also, a dumb phone doesn't really help with the need for SMS and MMS.
Update: I had indeed misunderstood and the proposal was to use a cloned SIM and two phones with dual SIM support. However, as discussed deeper in the thread this still seems to have flaws.
