  You could just use a computer without internet. Get something without a network card. But your use-case is quite bad as you still need access to the internet and you even want Facebook, Reddit & YouTube, which totally will send you into your doomscrolling dead spiral again.

  So some hints:

  • you can download YouTube videos and view them offline
  • there are lots of ways to disable the internet or slow it down. Nothing will work when you’re the admin as you can and will disable them.
  • if you get distracted doing your work, even black & white displays will not work. People totally didn’t do their work in the past and watched a lot of black&white television or even read some books

      I use NewPipe on my android phone: it will only display the channels I am subscribed to, and you have to take extra steps to check what the algorithm would like to feed you afterwards.

      I keep a voluntarily small amount of subscriptions, and removed the “most popular” tab in settings. This absolutely limits the amount of time I can spend on the platform (on top of removing the yt ads).

  i sometimes need to watch youtube videos. these can be black and white only.

  I think you want a normal laptop with a software that makes the screen black and white.

    Just use color filters on your phone in accessability or the zoom feature

  There are computers made bespoke for Amish people. It’s basically just a desktop loaded with a word processor and a spreadsheet program. You could easily cook up something like this with a Linux distro and an older laptop. Maybe even a Chromebook.

  I think your kinda shooting yourself in the foot by fucking with Reddit, YouTube, and Facebook. Those things run on dopamine.

  You’re trying to solve a medical issue with technology.

  That should be done under the supervision of a medical professional such as a psychologist.

  How about placing your laptop in an uncomfortable place? Mount it on the wall so that it’s usable but unpractical to use it for more than a few minutes? I don’t think the problem you describe can be solved with a specific computer.
