Make your phone boring if you don’t want to use it. Delete anything that is a time sink or at least remove it from your homescreen.

I’m back to Pocket Casts. I just don’t get Overcast, it seems to have no logic with what it’s doing. There seems to be no consistency in what happens when I tap a podcast in different places of the app. If I want to add an episode to the Queue playlist it takes multiple taps or a long press -

ChatGPT 5.1 Cynical personality is my kind of AI. I gave it an article as a text paste and asked for a summary. Here is the opening:
> Alright, Dave, here’s the short, sharp, human-brain-friendly summary of that novel you just dumped on me. Brace yourself; I’m doing this out of duty, not joy.

I’ve been using Overcast for the last few days. It’s much simpler than Pocket Casts and I actually don’t mind how I need to use it differently. Why the change? Pocket Casts seems old in design. It’s been a long time since a new theme was added and I am assuming a Liquid Glass overhaul is off

I like the Tahoe icons and anyone that has enough time to write an exhaustive article complaining about them should get out more. I have not seen one icon that even deserves an old man yelling at clouds moment but here we are with multiple.

A nice puff piece from the ABC. They even spelt one of the referenced child psychologists name wrong, I know as I tried to do some research of my own. From what I can see neither has published anything scientific around social media’s effects on specifically under 16’s. Which of course matches w

What I like most about this review of the Xiaomi 17 Pro is that it is super honest. Of all the “innovation”, the phone is super buggy and unreliable. I use the term “innovation” as that seems to be what everyone wants. The important thing about innovation is deciding when it’s actually wor

Netflix Household crap is crap. Talk about disrupting an industry only to become an overpriced annoyance with added user hostility. They must be proud. I think that if I am paying for 4 streams, it should not matter where those streams come from. I feel like this kinda stuff is far worse than what A

I just tried Apple News again (removed as a part of my detox) and it’s possibly the worse Apple app I’ve used. As a paid subscriber I would have thought there would be no ads and a way to completely customise what I am seeing. Also blocking a channel still shows the article but just lets you kno
