This is never going to be not funny. Apple Music works great on Android but on the iPhone is just freaking slow.
Because I can, I’m sometimes moving between iPhone and Pixel. Most of the time it’s pixel but there are moments in which I find myself wanting to use iPhone (mostly because of Apple Watch and ability to be notified on my wrist when something REALLY IMPORTANT happens or because our apartment still has some automations based on Homekit).
But what pains me this time – I felt that notification wise I’m missing a lot on iOS. Action buttons in android notifications are golden. Somebody sends me a link? I can open it from notifications without even opening the communicator app. New YouTube video? I can just add it to watch later from notifications.
I find myself more and more saying yes to notifications on Android because I can control them better and I can easily get rid of them if needed (something that never works on iOS because you can click X and mass prune them but some of the notifications are above that X area and they won’t be deleted and I have no idea what the rule is).
That’s another one for you from my OS battles.

I wanted to break myself a bit more from Apple ecosystem with a non-Apple fitness tracker. Can’t wait till it gets here!
Moved to iPhone yesterday but got annoyed in first 12 hours and I’m back on Pixel. Welp.
RSS bankruptcy. Not going to read 2000 articles.
It looks like after stopping podcasting I have stopped caring about technology that much. Or I needed a break from it and I’m still on it. Most of the days I don’t even use my PC after work. Love this character development!
My Defaults (2024)
Well, it’s been over a year since I last talked about my defaults (even though I tried to update it along the way). A lot has changed in that year, so I’m going to go over it again.
Perhaps we should stop thinking of the USA as a country to look up to.
Americans, what the hell
ChatGPT search is crazy
iPhone wants me to use MacOS and be enclosed in Apple ecosystem, but Android let’s me do my shit anywhere – and I didn’t know that I value this but I do.
Chill out please
Apple Music working better on Android wasn’t on my bingo card but yet here we are
5 icons in a row are better than 4 icons in a row. I don’t make the rules but I do.
To use an iphone is to use a phone in slow motion. This is how it feels like
Android apps are good enough that I don’t miss any particular app. Even if the iOS app was better, the Android version of it (either because there’s the same app for Android or there’s a different app that does the same thing) is most of the time good enough to not care because it does the job done.
And this is when I found out that Reeder can be replaced.
And today on Android I’ve installed Sum Up and now all of my chat messages get summarised. This is happening on a $300 device, for free. I have an assistant that allows me to ask even the trickiest questions and I can do stuff like circle to search.
Two weeks with my Pixel. That was quick! Still is my main phone.
