Why the Casio G-Shock GXW-56-1A is the true king Over the past few years, I’ve worn a lot of watches. Apple Watch, Garmin, and non-smart watches. Smartwatches started to feel like a burden on me. Last year, I sold my Garmin watch, which I wore for less than a year. Before that, I had an Apple Watch, which died on its own in a swimming pool. Between these two, I wore several classic watches,…

In the past three or four months, I’ve been trying out multiple local music players. Since I am still using macOS, there were some music players that were only for macOS. However, there is only one I keep coming back to – Musikube . It’s simple enough, yet not too simple to lack features. It plays everything from my collection, displays it as a library, and has strong search/filter…

Why does everything need to be an app? Apps, specifically mobile apps, can be a double-edged sword. They provide a more streamlined and (often) optimized environment for the user. Unfortunately, they are also at the mercy of the two biggest mobile app distributors - Apple and Google . A lot of the apps we have on our phones don’t even need to be apps. Sports results, e-shops, or weather apps…
How I stopped reading the news Everytime I plan something, I usually don’t follow through. I never planned to stop reading the news. Yet here I am - newsless . I had several news sources in my RSS feed. Few days ago I realized I keep hitting the “Mark all as read” button all the time on these. I got bored with news. It’s too depressing. It’s too negative. It’s…

My RSS reader is usually chock-full of articles about AI bubbles, whatever the US government did this time and environmental issues. My own fault, I know. But more often, I also see articles about music streaming. Ditching them, switching them, praising them and shitting on them. Recently I read a blog post on Quailblog about pulling their music from Spotify. One thing that stood out to me, was…
Roughly six months ago, somewhere around the middle of March, I decided to give up alcohol. Completely. I didn’t have to, but I did it anyway. It came as a surprise to myself, especially because I come from an environment where drinking alcohol is a normal, even celebrated thing. Out of nowhere, the thought of not drinking came to my mind. I thought about being sober a lot in March, when I…

Lately, I made a promise to myself to follow politics less. It is a game in which I am always a sore loser, and I honestly don’t like that. Politics and politicians are like junkies, getting addicted to power the moment they sense it, and they never let go. However, I can’t escape the abhorrent stupidity they spread around. So naturally, some news reach me. Mostly about how no…

RSS/Atom remains one of my favourite pieces of technology. A simple solution to a huge problem - how to follow news and articles without getting overloaded? RSS certainly already hit its prime maybe 10 years ago and gradually fell out of the mainstream view after Google discontinued their Google Reader RSS feed application, and when Facebook and Twitter replaced news for most people. I admit, I…

New year, same list format. A relatively average release Friday. Avatarium , Fleshbore and Discordant Meditation are the only bands who really stepped up this time. Loved the bluesy/stonery doom rock from Avatarium , the gurgling, insane vocals and noodly bass work on Fleshbore and the raw and intense approach of Discordant Meditation . The crown goes to Můra which is not even on this list, since…
Seen at: https://mullvad.net/en/blog/2024/10/24/advertising-that-targets-everyone Mullvad, one of the best VPN providers out there, knows how to do advertisement right. No trackers, no annoying banners, just old-school public ads in the wild. Great use of powerful slogans, easy to read and with bright colours, this is one of the best ad campaigns by a tech company in recent years.
