Fair point, I also make a point of only buying ones that have a removable cable for that reason.
I did also recently, as a geeky project, get some Mackie mc-100 headphones and mod them to take a removable 3.5mm cable.
I have too many pairs of headphones and have been buying more wired ones rather than Bluetooth as they just don’t last as long (they are convenient, I’ll admit).
The 3.5mm Jack is just so handy to have ratger than a dongle (SD card for storing all the music helps too).
Picked one with a funny name and the admin seemed quite relaxed but it appears to have gone offline permanently.
A lot of them have already said they’d withdraw (facetime, iMessage, signal, WhatsApp included).
Thanks for getting back to me. The rewards was why I signed up. Welp.
Hadn’t used Firefox in ages. Stuck it back on asking with uBlock. Quite liking how it blocks pages from jumping to an app.
I just need to work out how override it when I actually do occasionally want to follow a link to the playstore!
What’s the sneak stuff in Brave?
Sausage party.
Nice. It’s a bit different from my usual listening. Plus my Spanish is very very basic.
Another that came up on the generator with a sort of similar vibe was Getz/Gilberto, more light jazz but you might like it (if you don’t already know it).
Buena Vista Social Club. It came up on the 1001AlbumsGenerator. It’s probably the album I’ve revisited the most.
Just thought I’d come back to share this if you haven’t already seen it. They’re at it again!
Lenny.film has a headphones community but it’s just starting out.
Yeah, that’s true. Pretty much every messenger has that issue, Signal, Telegram, etc. Ideally there would be an open standard like email, SMS and you could choose your preferred app and have cross messaging and group chats.
RIM made a similar play when they kept BBM closed to their phones and it backfired but Apple seem to have the opposite effect from keeping it all in house.
I think they are maybe referring to Apple’s reluctance to integrate with RCS.
I use bxactions (not FOSS) to use it as a play/pause button. Can easily pause and skip tracks keeping the phone in my pocket.
