How do you delete “the internet?” Here I am life-wasting on HN.

- ok_dad 3y agoThat’s why I’m really thankful that sites like Reddit have made it really hard, almost impossible, to enjoy without an account and their app, because I’m literally unwilling to install an app or make an account just to read funny memes. I’m such an old curmudgeon these days that I barely even have energy to socialize with people who do things I also enjoy, let alone talk to idiots online. The one exception is for HN because I find there are more limits around commenting and I can avoid most of the political and other flammable topics.

- quag 3y agoTo “delete” HN: 1. Open Settings > Screen Time > App Limits > Add Limit 2. Scroll to the bottom and pick “Websites” 3. Pick “news.ycombinator.com” 4. Click “Next” 5. Pick 0 hours, 1 minute 6. Click “Add” Now you’ll be limited to one minute a day of HN. If you set 20 minutes it also gives you 5 minute warnings, and lets you extend. The App Limiting has a nice feature were if you set a limit on multiple apps at the same time, it doesn’t matter which app/site you use, the time counts against them all. This prevents you from wasting time in one app, then rolling onto the next distraction.
