Random thought: Whenever I think about the best days of my life so far, or just days where I thought it was “pretty good”, they very rarely involve technology.
As someone that has been interested in technology to a certain degree for most of my life. It’s weird to think that most of the time, I prefer life without it. A day where I don’t use my phone at all is usually a pretty good day.
Spotify aquired Heardle recently, and when I commented on the news, I was relatively positive in that it seemed like a deal that made sense, at least for Spotify.
However, I must say, since the aquisition, the music choices has been terrible. I know there’s going to be days when I can’t work out the song, but it’s just been absolute nonsense. It’s certainly made it a lot less fun.
I subscribe to both of these, and to be honest, I’ve jumped in and out of Glass a few times already. I’m not quite sure how much Glass has to me, but at the same time I appreciate the platform itself, so it can always find a way to attract me back.
But as he mentions in his post, Tweetbot hasn’t been updated in over 6 months. I just checked my subscriptions, and it appears that mine is a year long subscription that has recently been renewed. So I guess I’ll just have to deal with it. But I can imagine, that if you started paying a monthly sub for Tweetbot just 6 months ago, with the concept of this supporting developers to release regular updates, you’d be a bit miffed.
Matt Birchler made some good points about having a phone with a larger battery than you need. The iPhone 13 Pro battery has been mostly fine for me, but it sure would be nicer if I never had to worry about battery levels_._
