My previous phone unexpectedly became a brick, that I haphazardly tried to reanimate and probably made whole situation worse.

On a new one I proceeded to not install most of doomscrolling apps I used, and my main source of news now are my 70+ y.o. colleagues. Quality of life significantly improved, zero regrets.

    Sounds nice, except for this part:

    my main source of news now are my 70+ y.o. colleagues

    Since people their age will generally tend to get their news from Faux News and/or the worst parts of Facebook..

    Nah, in this part of the world 70 is a bit above Facebook age bracket, and people will roll their eyes if you try to tell them what is happening in US, partly due to unflattering opinion on Americans.
