Day One on Windows. Finally.

I also love when Apple influencers are screaming about how Apple behaves badly but ask them if they would make a change and then suddenly there’s this one very, very critical workflow that they wouldn’t be able to reproduce on other OS. But if only!

Lee and Jason made some good points regarding change. And Lee said: I’ve gotten to the point where I’m less and less interested in listening to those that on one hand say Apple etc are gross then go out and buy the next thing they r... https://pawel.orzech.me/2025/02/26/lee-and-jason-made-some.html

I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one trying to escape the Apple ecosystem.

iPhone 16e without MagSafe - bummer. Not that I was interested in it, but I thought they would be adding it to every product. And it looks like the 16e has even worse wireless charging capabilities than my own 14 Plus.

Interesting things that are happening in our household are talks about how we should probably switch from being an Apple-mostly household to being more open. And interestingly, I’m not the one that has the strongest opi... https://pawel.orzech.me/2025/02/15/interesting-things-that-are-happening.html

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

421 days of adding something new to Day One, 223 days of tracking calories in Lose It, 2010 days of playing Torn. You might say I like routines.

Maybe related to my previous post but maybe not - I’m moving off Google and Apple Photos onto Ente. If you want to, you can use my Referral Code - NMWZUZ and get another 10GB for free.

New from me: Some federal workers say they are moving all but the most innocuous conversations from platforms like Facebook or text messages to Signal, fearing tech companies will turn over their data to the Trump administration. www.theverge.com/news/610951/...

I’m getting older, and I don’t care as much about open source and such. But at the same time, the older I get, the more concerned I become about being screwed over by another proprietary software changing its rules or something simila... https://pawel.orzech.me/2025/02/13/im-getting-older-and-i.html

This reads like the opening paragraph of a novel so bleakly dystopian you'd put it down after five pages

Material You or whatever it is called on Android is much better than whatever iOS is doing. But that’s like my opinion.

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

Now I get why people with their own flats are so resistant to even considering renting a flat in the future.

A very smart colleague just pointed out the grim truth that the U.S. leaving the WHO may ultimately be a win for the rest of the world. Why? Because without a vote, “the US can't block WHO actions like vaccine programs, disease surveillance, contraception, etc”. Man, that is daaaark, but accurate.

Only thing I need my iPhone is whoop journal every morning. Android doesn’t let Whoop take all the nutrition data and iOS does. I love that I can jump between iOS and Android now.

Support small web, support independent social media, own your content. These are going to be more and more important. Just don’t let billionaires own your things again, we know what happens when they do.

it’s becoming increasingly clear the goal of the far right is to defund and buy up every source of reliable information until there is no more objective reality to counter them

The less I use social media the better I feel and I didn’t think it was something that would affect me. Happy, in my lane, nourished.

That was quick. USA dropping out from Paris Agreement, WHO and bringing back death penalty. If you voted Trump, you deserve everything that’s going to happen now.

Whenever I use Pixel 8a (I do it everyday) I’m amazed how great this device feels. And then I remember it costs like 30% of what the iPhone costs. Still. Everyday after three months.

It’s growing on me. Not sure what watch would be next. From the first one to second one was a month, I think I’m gonna wait more than that now (fingers crossed cause I know myself).

It’s my birthday, and I enjoy giving proxies away, so I’m going to do that! Just repost to enter, and on, let’s say Saturday the 4th, I will pick 3 people to send an assortment of proxies I like to. Good luck, and happy new year!

Funny thing about Nothing Ear A is that even though they have very similar form factor to AirPods Pro - they stay in my ears and are much more comfortable. Price being 1/3 of Pro’s is another pro (no pun intended).
