For the first time since I don’t even know when I have broken the glass on my phone. Interestingly, I don’t really care!

This is just a test! But I’m going to leave it here since I don’t care that much.

Too autistic to eat anything that’s on the table but I got my space food.

Google’s AI subscription came with 2TB of space, and now it’s 5TB for the same price. I don’t want to dunk on Apple but holy shit their cloud offering sucks.

Paid for access to The Verge. All of the good stuff had paywall on it and I really like their takes on stuff. And since there was 50% off for a yearly subscription…

Can this iPhone stop asking me to turn on facetime? I don’t want to use facetime, stop asking me.

What I’m a fan of in the Android ecosystem is that you can make those trade-offs. With Apple you can pick a colour and everything else is decided by them.

I can get an Android phone that’s basically all battery, I can get an Android phone that is basically a proper camera system with all of the gimmicks you could imagine. I’m free to pick whatever different configuration of things I want to. This makes it easier to get what you want - when you know what you want. But also can make you step into the wrong direction, because you could get something that makes wrong trade-offs for you.

Last 10 years I was sure that I didn’t want to make any decisions. I got an iPhone, rode it until the next big upgrade came and got that one. But the grass always looks greener, right? So I picked up an Android phone that had - I thought - great set of trade-offs.

Pixel 8a was cheap, great camera, amazing OS (Google’s take on Android UI is imo the best take). But the battery was BAD, charging was slow and the CPU wasn’t fast enough to keep up with my ADHD. That’s what pushed me to OnePlus.

Different trade-offs. Camera ain’t great, but the battery is; OS is a bit worse, but it’s damn fast. And I’d rather make these wrong turns with phones that aren’t for me instead of getting an iPhone and just forfeiting my choice of trade-offs for good.

OnePlus phones are bad in couple of different ways - the cameras are just bad (master mode is fine, but auto is losing too much shadows to my liking), their take on Android isn’t great and to use magsafe accessories I have to use a case because magnets are in the cases only. But boy oh boy isn’t that battery lasting for very long and charging up so fast!

I see so many apps on my phone that I should get rid off and maybe this feeling of possible boredom should be embraced rather than feared. Maybe anxiety about uninstalling Instagram should make me MORE encouraged to do it. Maybe the friction really is the key.

Sometimes I think the hassle of getting out the current meta would be worth it. I’d miss the brainrotism of tiktok/reels, but wouldn’t I be happier?

How much would I fuck up if I would put LineageOS or something like it (CRDroid? DerpFest?) on my OnePlus 13?

To me, boy’s dinner is 4x huel cause I don’t need to think about food and can superfocus on something else. We are not the same.

Playing ROM hacks on original hardware is peak gaming. 🤌🤌🤌

I’v added screenshots of Swoosh (this name will have to change probably because otherwise Nike will sue me).

I did a thing - because I don’t want to have to pay for my blog, I’m mirroring content automatically to blog.orzech.me and if I ever want to drop micro.blog - I would easily can. But also I don’t really want to right now because it’s so convenient.

One cartridge works on my GBA but doesn’t on GBA SP. I mean - the game loads, but first action messes up with it. Of course I got to know that fact because I took different GBA with me and tried to play it.

A couple weeks ago I lost my mom to cancer. It has been rough, but we as a family are doing our best. Anyway - the thing I miss the most is being able to call her when I go on my stupid walks for stupid mental health.

Hug your loved ones.

But still, having them on Switch is great click!

Nintendo is releasing GBA classics on Switch soon. If you haven’t played it - highly recommended.
