Powerbeats Pro have hooks over the ears and only get used when a wire would be intrusive such as workouts. I don’t much like them but they are hard to lose. They’re notorious for not charging properly and worked much better on Apple than Android, but at least I still both left and right buds.
Earbuds are worse, it’s always one that’s dead because it didn’t sit properly in the charging case.
My experience: via iPhone 8 + Apple adaptor, it couldn’t drive big cans, and even for earbuds they lose significant volume. My phone has the 3.5mm jack, and it can deafen me. This matters more when hooking up to sound systems because it raises the noise floor.
It’s better than nothing, but it’s not good. I don’t know about the USB-C alternatives though - I can only hope they are better than the ‘lightning’ connector ones.
No headphone jack, no sale. I have three hard criteria:

I’ll stick with my Sony. Two-out-of-three isn’t good enough.
I do hope so. Temporary things have a stickiness that makes them semi-permanent. May as well go with 418 then :o)
CP is something that’s prevented me from hosting imaging solutions in the past, out of risk-avoidance so I’ve given it a lot of thought over the years. The lack of support from Cloudflare hasn’t helped, and making it USA-only weakens it as a general solution. That said, I’ll still run some sites via Cloudflare because I’m certain it tracks the content regardless without the mandate to enforce or alert, and that tracking may help lead to the original source [pure opinion here with hard facts, but I use CF for other reasons].
Now that I want to host fediverse things safely, it’s still a concern. I’m not in the US, I’m in the UK and host in Canada. Doesn’t matter greatly. They’d still take all my equipment while they investigate IF they had sufficient evidence to charge. But they WON’T because the CP is attributable to someone else. The main takeaway from all of this, for me, is to NEVER take backups of actual content, only settings/accounts. Holding archives is dangerous because only I would have access to their contents.
Defederate aggressively, block paths as needed, keep logs, don’t run it from home, etc etc. Keeping records gets most folk out of sticky legal situations.
451 or 403 would be more appropriate as it’s not available for legal reasons. 410 Gone would also fit well if it’s a permanent block. I’d steer clear of 5xx server side because it encourages retry-later. The client has requested something not served, firmly placing it into the 4xx category. The other problem with 503 in particular is that it indicates server overload, falsely in the case of a path ban.
You nailed exactly how I feel 💯
I’m conflicted by this, I struggled to like Disco.
I think I’ll stay on Mastodon. I don’t like the Firefish UI. I haven’t tried Akkoma yet.
I use Ansible, Docker, and Emacs OrgMode files committed to Git. Diagrams are a mix of Miro and Graphviz. There’s also a few markdowns in there too. Joplin is used for rough notes only.
I’m halfway through a 10 year cycle, with a 1060 3Gb on a 7th Gen i5. It’s mostly Civ6, Stellaris, and Rocksmith 2014 @ 1080p so it’s fine. The main problem is end-of-life for Windows 10 without support in the current hardware, and Rocksmith doesn’t work well on Linux. I’ll probably keep it as-is and start from scratch… when I see a title that I want to play enough to drop big cash on hardware.
I feel the same, it had the perfect mix of parts but just lacked something to bring it together and make it enjoyable. It might be the setting tricked me into thinking it could be like Fallout 3. That was on Xbox when I briefly had the game pass so I didn’t get that far into it, I might try it again on Steam Deck (looking for that kind of experience for handheld). Same goes for Avowed, if it works well on Deck.
Aye, but these things need running like a business. They are too expensive and too complicated, they need oversight, planning, and proper governance if they aren’t single user personal instances. Opencollective seems to work well for Mastodon for funding and might work for Lemmy too.
No, I don’t want corporate social networks who farm data.
The rubber on mine turned sticky and I got rid of it. It was nasty to touch. I’d get another if it was a different material. Ended up with a G903 but not keen and want something new after just a year.
