iOS notifications were designed by someone who clearly never used notifications for anything useful. https://pawel.orzech.me/2026/06/18/4357/

There was something wrong with my YouTube Music account. It wasn’t working properly with Sonos because I had a channel. I’m too old for this so my agent moved my playlists and subscriptions to the main account then nuked what’s left. 🧵 1/2

I’m not listening to that much music anymore, so we dropped Spotify. YouTube Music is already in our YouTube Premium sub, so me and wifey just moved there. And I have to say, because I listen to LOTS of mixes on YouTube, the recommendation mechanism is spot on. 🧵 1/2

My wifey just got herself a Pixel 10 Pro and holy shit, this is the first non-Apple device in our house that genuinely feels Apple-level. Hardware AND software. 🧵 1/2

I’ve been using an iPhone 14 Plus as my dev and testing device lately, and the thing is kind of funny. It’s a perfectly good phone. Three years old, not ancient by any measure. But you can really see how far Apple has let it drift behind on anything modern. 🧵 1/4

I made an app for Android. If you use fastmail – check it out. You can create/delete/manage masked emails from the app! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fastmask https://pawel.orzech.me/2026/05/14/4316/

bitenote.eu — my calorie tracker inside Telegram — got better: → public API → Withings integration → -20% on Premium with code TAROT (don't ask) Bluesky-only bonus: code BSKYRULES = +2 weeks PRO on top. #buildinpublic #indiehackers #healthtech #telegram #quantifiedself

I’ve been weighing myself every morning for most of this year. The number goes up. The number goes down. I want it to go down more often than up. That’s basically the whole story. 🧵 1/17

Just testing if this works… If it works – it should show up on Mastodon + Bluesky straight from my WordPress. https://blog.orzech.me/2026/04/30/4232/

I made a calorie counter on Telegram. Why on Telegram? Cause I’m on Telegram most of the time, so I didn’t want to have another app. I just wanted to use chat/pictures/voice notes. If you think this is something that might be inter... https://pawel.orzech.me/2026/04/29/i-made-a-calorie-counter.html

New one soon? Or just chip shortage?

Whoops, I did a thing. If you’re on Telegram, take a look!

I made a thing: bitenote.eu

I repeat that mRNA vaccines are modern miracles. We are witnessing scientific history being made and it’s so freaking cool.

New version of FastMask - Android app for managing Masked Emails in Fastmail is here. There’s an .apk file you can download and run on your phone. github.com/pawelorze…

I have an iPhone I’m using to test iOS apps and it’s a very old iPhone 11 Pro. It’s so old, I can see the battery percentage going down in real time 😂👌

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.

Coffee o’clock.

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.

Israel has passed the death penalty solely for Palestinians, enforced through military courts with a 96% conviction rate. Israeli Minister Ben Gvir popped champagne. The Israeli government is raising a toast to genocidal apartheid. The UK government is arming and funding it.

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 ... https://pawel.orzech.me/2026/03/26/what-im-a-fan-of.html

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... https://pawel.orzech.me/2026/03/26/oneplus-phones-are-bad-in.html

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). github.com/pawelorze…

If you’ve ever used Ghost and missed an Android app - I gotchu. github.com/pawelorze…

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.

Dia is becoming better and better browser. This grouping? Very, very nice.
