I was hoping that Nothing OS 2.0 would be Android 14 based but with the launch of the Nothing Phone 2.0 the Nothing OS 2.0 is based on Android 13 which will be coming to the Nothing Phone 1 – it’ll be interesting to see whether the kernel is upgraded to a newer version but based on how things are going in the world of Android I would say it’ll remain the same version with some minor updates to fix bugs and any security issues.

Regarding polls and elections the one thing I always remind people that two months is a long time in politics – it is very easy for a campaign to come undone just as it is possible for voters to give some of the minor parties a second look at to see what they have to offer. The key with MMP is about voting strategically because if there is one thing that can be demonstrated is the fact that when Labour are left to their own devices they don’t make the substantive changes needed but if they have a partner like the Maori Party, TOP or Greens then it forces the hand of Labour to go beyond the milk toast neoliberalism.

Winter is still very around with a sudden cold weather snap with the temperature at the moment sitting at 6 degrees Celsius so I’ve decided to order a pizza for dinner – it’s my treat on my two late nights that I work (1330 to 2200) on Friday and Saturday where as the rest of the week I have pretty plain meals. Maybe towards the end of the year I might get motivated enough to start cooking some more interesting meals but it is one of those things you one really isn’t up for after a long day at work. Might start having a look at some of the quick meals at the supermarket – eventually wean myself off pizza in favour of something that is more fulfilling.
