Sunday.

The local government campaign is already underway.

I love that Threads are federating. Ability to read people and not use Threads is great. I can read people who have no idea what mastodon is – on mastodon!

Exclusive: Google Pixel 8a boasts 120Hz display, Tensor G3, DisplayPort output, better availability

Just release it already, I can’t wait for it. I know what I said about renting out a phone being cheaper but if this is going to be as cheap as I think it is and will have this long support (like 7 years or whatever) I might just get this to have Pixel with long support – even if I want to change it later for either an iPhone or just different android phone. If this would cost 1,5k PLN (about $375) and would be available from Google in Poland officially – I’m gonna just impulse buy it immediately after it’s available.

I went for a walk.

Arc added Sidebar Sync to their app. Finally it’s usable on Windows! Moved from Brave to Arc. I can use it on all of my devices now!

Seems like our online Ikea shopping spree was a success! Not only is the new mattress GREAT, but – by mistake! – we ended up buying not 4 small towels, but 4 sets of 4 small towels (I even intended to get 7 and overlooked that it’s a multipack). Awesome!

Two minutes to read it is still longer than my AI superpowers.

Google Gemini Advanced offers 2TB storage for ~$25/month (like ChatGPT Plus). Tempting, but currently it’s browser-only in Poland – no mobile app yet. Meh, I wish they added mobile app in Poland – I’d actually think about using it instead of ChatGPT then.

Thank God it’s Saturday.

It feels nice to sit on the couch and watch Game Knights Live after a long day of work.

Found out that I can subscribe to having an iPhone (or Android phone) for a year for about $45 per month. And then after 12 months I’m either buying it cheaper, giving it back or exchanging it for a newer model. It’s actually interesting idea, paying $45 per month just to have the newest phone without actually the hassle of buying one every year and selling too. I’m debating with myself if this is something I would like to experience but it doesn’t seem dumb.

I was really close to pulling on the trigger and getting an Android phone but I think I want to see what Google does with Pixel 8a and if Nothing comes up with Phone 3. S24 makes the most sense right now but I think I could spend less and get something as nice.

📺 The Dropout (2022) – ★★★★☆

That’s scary.
