@320x200 Some great #screenless ideas going on here!

@raphael I print the news in the morning using my #screenless office.

During the day, I look up stuff on my laptop that I need for work. I have a script that blocks the personally addictive sites for most of the day.

At night it unblocks for a few hours so I can scroll, amuse and discourse a bit.

@GIFmodel And in my experiments with #screenless stuff, my goal was to have things which were effective but less "smart" - here they are going towards something that will make users even more entangled and dependent than ever. He talks about empowerment but I think this would just push everyone to a different "platform" that is at least as opaque as the old screen-based ones.

I started doing part-time handyman work on the side and it's been very rewarding so far. Each project provides a fairly immediate sense of accomplishment, while also getting to help people. I work in a very tight geographic area, so I'm not driving all over the place. And the work is definitively sans-screen, outside of some google searching and administrative stuff. #handyman #sidework #tools #screenless

#screenless Meditation № 2:

1. Stand in front of bookshelf.
2. Take the first book that excites you.
3. Turn off phone.
4. Place phone where the book was.

1. Turn off computer
2. Place phone in a drawer
3. Go outside

@spacekookie I have some #screenless software stuff that could actually do this for you. I will post some things later this week, if you want to try it.

@vidak Dunno if we were really the first but a friend and I did something similar:

I also have some code that is part of my #screenless office It uses a document camera or webcam hooked up to a pc or RPi. It will be a few weeks before I can release it but it's GPL.

Rough day #screenless debugging.

Grandma was right. Television does actually rot your brain. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs11682-021-00534-4

I wonder if more interactive screen use has similar effects. It's a decent argument for more #screenless practices.

finally finished writing my little app to learn touch-typing, without a screen!

@liaizon @grantcuster Yeah it's some very nice #screenless design. I already boosted it!

Makes me think of the 17th Century multi-book reading machine: https://www.flickr.com/photos/pluriverse/2477960964

Also the Kardex and similar visible file systems that were well loved in the medical field:

Just ordered a used, wireless industrial #barcode scanner. I think I'm more excited about this than any other electronic kit I've bought recently. I look forward to fast, reliable scans.

I found a 1985 vintage Daisy Wheel #printer recently. It's basically an electric typewriter (sans keyboard) with a serial port. I have no docs but it seems to have similar guts to an old Atari printer which has PDFs floating around. It's enough that I have sorted out how to print all characters, and tweak the vertical and horizontal pitch.

#ASCII art is fun but I decided to make graphics... by typing lots of periods. I dig it. It has a kind of offset dithered look:

@sir #screenless living!

@ajroach42 @Ethancdavenport Do you know of the @screenless project by @KnowPresent ? I highly recommend it. #screenless
