I’m becoming one of these people again. (Not going to wear it all the time because I have nicer watches but going full-Garmin for training).
It’s been a couple of months, and I’m still kind of amazed at how good this phone is. The speed hits me every time - not just opening apps, but the whole system just feels light and snappy. Charging is stupidly fast. You plug it in for ten minutes, and it’s basically full again.
Android really fits the way I use a phone. I like how much control I have, and how I can tweak small things without it fighting back. I’ve been looking at some of the new custom ROMs for the OnePlus 13 though (LineageOS in particular) and it’s tempting. No proper esim and LTPO support yet so I’m waiting for that getting fixed (I know how hard this could be but my fingers are crossed).
Funny thing is, I wouldn’t have gone down this road without the Pixel 8a I bought about a year ago. That phone made me appreciate Android in the first place. But it also showed me what I was missing - a faster screen, better charging, a bit more power under the hood.
So yeah, no regrets switching. It was a good year phone-wise.
I was always using the highest resolution possible on my Mac, but I turned on that default resolution - and finally saw what the retina thing was about. For me, it was always the higher resolution thing only.
Phone so big with 4 icons in a row. Criminal.

It seems like I’m just not a fan of Arch. Debian-based disros all the way!

I wanted to try Omarchy but DHH. I’m not gonna try Omarchy then.
Yesterday night I’ve made some nice (not so) little upgrades to the server that’s hosting wspanialy.eu. It’s still at hetzner but with double the amount of vCPU, RAM and storage. We are dangerously close to the dedicated server territory but if this ever happens I’m ready!
I wanted to move off Fastmail and go deep into Google or something like that for me and wifey but we are paying $100 yearly for both of us at Fastmail and I don’t think we can get the whole package anywhere else for cheaper.
We could go gmail+forwardemail but even that’s a bit more expensive than just staying on Fastmail.
I wanted to try Spark AI because Superhuman is so expensive but at the same time I had to do my emails today and Superhuman is just out of this world. This is so freaking goooood.
It might not look like it, but it’s much better.
