Sounds like an Olive Garden shill. Subliminal marketing.

How often does he go to Olive Garden!?!?!
Btw, is there a open source app to display a warning after a certain time of use?
Yes, Android has "Digital Wellbeing" but that spams me for "no play services found", because i removed them.
This review of Olive Garden went viral, and the review/reviewer was mocked online---but then Anthony Bourdain came to her defense.
Kinda a cute story, and a fun read.
Great read!
WTF are you doing with Olive Garden, Dan?
coffee and breadsticks on my day off shuddup
No idea what "Olive Garden" is - is it used all day, or is it just a shitty programmed app that it eats up the battery?
Olive Garden is a restaurant chain. It would be like spending all day on the Arby's or McDonald's app with an added layer of Olive Garden being a bit obscure.
I'm sorry, I don't wanna break the funny, so if you're just here to laugh, the please feel free to do so.
If you are suffering:
Real Phone addiction, which a lot of people nowadays have, takes lifes. It is nothing to joke with. Get a professional if you can. It will erode you physical wellness, your social groups, your grades, your working capacity, you will get severe depression, anxiety, will lack hunger. We all know where that can lead.
Fight it, you have ambitions. The phone does not make you happy.
You should put your phone in a cabinet. Ideally in a space where other people can see it during the day. Then loudly announce to them that you're limiting your screen time in that way.
This is the first step: Admitting it, full stop, nothing to be ashamed of.
When you catch yourself doing more than standing awkwardly in front of the cabinet to answer messages from friends and family you should fix that by putting the phone back into the cabinet. If this is too hard, buy a timed phone safe. Make sure to have a way to call the fire department.
That's the second step: Correcting yourself. Just don't get frustrated, it's not you, it's your addiction.
And then when you can leave that shitter in there for as long as you want without thinking of it in a longingly way, then you can finally start living a life without your addiction. It won't be gone, mind you.
And that's the final step: Consistency.
After a long time of personal development you may even completely make your addiction disappear, but this takes a long time.
Personal development will happen along the way. You will be surprised how much emotion you will have without your phone. You will want to do stuff again.
Good luck. BANISH THAT FUCKER.
Matter of fact, I'll have to put something away.
Why not just get a dumb phone at that point? You can call and text and all, and then do the important online stuff on computer. You won't have the benefits of a smart phone, but if your addiction is so bad you have to stash the damn thing anyway, that doesn't seem such a bad deal

Is there an iphonedefaulsim community?
It’s called The United States.
In Japan, major apps, such as for some subway systems were iPhone only. In China a guy with an ancient iPhone called my S23 shit. In Vietnam women spend like 2 months wage on new iPhones to show off.
Ironically the US is the least bad about thinking iPhone are special.

? im in statesia and the last time i used an apple product was the 90s
Of mexico?
Officially it's the united states of the Gulf of America of Mexico, but we just call it Fucked, for short.
look the US is a authoritarian shithole these days, sure, but don't paint that i-brush shit for everyone.
haven't touched a apple product since the Quadra 950.
LOL
Will I fall into this obvious trap for discussing the grotesque volume of time spent on the Olive Garden app? No. No i will not. … fuck.

Uh oh…
There are only 3 possibilities
- Voyager is a battery hog
- You don't use your phone much
- You, together with your army of alts is single-handedly responsible for half of lemmy content

The Great Breadstick Debate continues apace.
Olive Garden might just be as bad as Uber, where loading it for a short time drains an inordinate amount of battery.

If you run an android device, or any other computer that doesn't allow the user to do basic things like close apps. You should make use of the battery optimization settings.
On android every app that you don't want real time updates from should be set to restricted battery mode, and background data to off.
The only time you need background data is for real time updates or background play in apps like YouTube or Spotify.
This feature will almost certainly get removed in the future if history is any indication, so enjoy having decent battery life and better networking performance while it lasts.
The only time you need background data is for real time updates
And makes total sense here. I need to know the second that never ending pasta bowl starts.

Maybe I should listen to fewer podcasts...
