Hear me out - but what if I’d switch to Windows actually? A proper desktop machine with lots of RAM and pretty good graphics? I could do the work, play games and even virtualise shit and make dev things for fun too!
I would like an Android phone just to fuck around and find out part of it.
"But I need to remember, now and again, that Apple is a corporation, and corporations aren’t people, and they can’t love you back. You wouldn’t love GE or Exxon or Comcast — and you shouldn’t love Apple. It’s not an exception to the rule: there are no exceptions.Source: inessential: Corporations Are Not To Be Loved"

OMG since I’m no longer podcasting I think I can try iPad only because I think I’ll be able to do everything on iPad now! Holy shit. I think I’m gonna try it.
So, I had to go on vacation to finally successfully self-host Yunohost with all the apps I wanted? Because it works flawlessly, fulfilling all my expectations, and costs approximately $5 per month with Contabo VPS. Great stuff.
I think not wanting to be on the internet is next level holidays. 🤙🏻
It’s important to all of you to meet this gentleman.
Some time ago, we purchased some random spotlights for our living room, which already had spotlights installed. However, since they had the exact light color and power, we didn’t end up using them much. Recently, I decided to buy an empty shell and installed an IKEA Tradfri light inside, connecting it to o... pawel.orzech.me https://pawel.orzech.me/2024/01/11/some-time-ago.html
I believe I have captured some of my best photos with my Canon camera simply because of its pocketable size. However, every time I pick up my so-called “big camera” (the A6000, which isn’t actually that big), I instantly realize what I miss with the Canon. The picture quality, depth of field, and the freed... pawel.orzech.me https://pawel.orzech.me/2024/01/11/i-believe-i.html
My phone spends 99% of the time in Apple Leather Case and somehow I still managed to scratch it quite deeply. That sucks.
Another year of micro.blog has been paid. Too happy with it to find an alternative (is there even an alternative that isn’t Wordpress that I hate with power of thousand suns?).
Happy with Stage Manager. It me.
Google is seriously testing my resistance when it comes to the Google Pixel phone. Today, I discovered that the Pixel 7a is on sale in Spain with a whopping 33% discount. Now, I already have a phone, an iOS phone to be exact, and I’m deeply invested in the iOS ecosystem. But despite all that, the temptatio... pawel.orzech.me https://pawel.orzech.me/2024/01/09/google-is-seriously.html
Today, I stumbled upon a comment claiming that socialism destroyed families and suggesting that we should encourage people to have more children while getting rid of socialist policies. I was so close to venting my thoughts by creating an account, but then I snapped back to reality and reminded myself that... pawel.orzech.me https://pawel.orzech.me/2024/01/09/today-i-stumbled.html
I’ve found out about Tailscale. WTF, why I’m so late to this?
I’m doing actually good with my Day One usage. I said I’m gonna journal and I’m doing it most of the days!
Deleted Instagram and Threads from my phone a couple of days ago and I find myself going to Mastodon/RSS a bit more. It’s actually a welcome change!
Jack Baty | Skipping the good parts:
Hell, I skip past a lot of the set pieces, too. I suppose that in my old age, I'm less interested in the "action" portion of action movies.
You don’t have to be “old”. My wife & I are doing the same. Fighting is just booring.
I think micro.publish would be a welcome addition to people using Obsidian and micro.blog. So just to share it out there - do yourself a favour and check it out.
I’m really tempted to get the Pixel 8 Pro and see if Android could better suit my workflow compared to iOS.
However, there are a few things I’ll miss. I’ll definitely miss find my (we have lots of these trackers), and my entire home setup will need to be moved to homeassistant or a similar app (Google Hom... pawel.orzech.me https://pawel.orzech.me/2024/01/06/im-really-tempted.html
