You basically have to add grease lightning or something similar to your wash to get that stuff out.

I am the same, so it wasn’t an issue for me either. I just wanted to confirm that you were not going to get the previous “fun” ROM experience.

Going bankrupt from a random hospital visit.

It can be used to send money to people that don’t have a bank account. These people sadly exist, like some of my family. That said, being pressured to send them money by them lying could definitely be considered a scam :)

GrapheneOS will feel very different, and quite a bit less of the “fun” customization options, since its goal is security.

Fwiw, mine has worked with no issues on any of my Linux PCs.

From what I understand there are better dongles now than that they can perform better than the Apple dongle, but the one everyone raves about that was $20 - $30 or so is now hard to come brand is going for closer to $80 (I think it is the Jcally JM20 Max). I don’t see a reason to bother spending more money chasing this crap now that I’ve had to buy both my wife and I standalone music players. What I do know is that the first company that releases a decent phone that has a headphone jack that fits my other needs is getting my Money. If Fairphone has brought it back, it would have been them since they have decent ROM alternatives (though not GrapheneOS).

I’ve used three: one was generic (it was at the time the only way to get one that could charge and have a headphone out in the same dongle), one was from Fiio (surprisingly bad sounding, maybe worse than the generic in some ways, but better build), and one was the official Google dongle (sounded clean, but was super weak. Couldn’t power even my lightest headphones that weren’t IEMs). The only one I still have is the Google dongle because the others broke, but I don’t use it because it still kinda sucks. I ended up being forced to buy a phone without a headphone jack fairly recently because Google more or less killed my Pixel 4a and there were no replacement phones with headphones jacks that I could put GrapheneOS on. I ended up buying myself a portable music player to list to music on. My phone is now only for listening to music in the car and it sucks :(

I definitely had issues with my 3070. I ran it in Linux for 4 years before recently switching back to AMD. It was usually only minor issues like it not playing well with certain DEs, but sometimes certain driver versions would make my system unusable/unbootable until I could roll them back. I am glad some people never had it happen, but pretending like it wasn’t a thing just makes you ignorant.

I have used both AMD and Nvidia cards on Linux for a long time and with Nvidia it’s mostly fine now days, but their driver situation tends to be fine until the rare time that it isn’t. I switched back to AMD last year due to the occasional driver issue that left me dead in the water. And by occasional I mean like once every year or so, not something common. It is entirely possible that you’ll never have much of an issue, but I started to take note of my Nvidia driver versions and and especially noted when GPU drivers were updated so that I had some notion of where to try to roll back to if I ran into issues. I haven’t had any issues like that with my AMD cards for a long, long time in Linux (with Windows obvious the situation was more of the reverse of this).

Is Zohran’s wife way cooler than we thought? It looks like it has the girls from those cool clubs in movies that I have yet to find in real life.

My wired earbuds cost more than ten times that and will probably last me until I retire. The vast majority of those USB-c to 3.5mm adapters are cheap crap that have a worthless DAC and/or fall apart after a short time. I have purchased my wife three such adapters since she decided it was worth it to get a phone without a headphone jack and none of them have been good.

I ended up having to buy her a separate portable music player to use. So thanks for that Google, Apple, and the rest of the greedy shithead OEMs.

It absolutely does not require too much space. And you can still buy phones with headphone jacks, just not any of the (ironically) higher end models because OEMs know they can push their first party bluetooth headphones to these customers.

We used it for our dev and systems groups at my former company for a while and really enjoyed it compared to anything else that was around. When it went away, we switched away to IRC due to how easy it was to host and maintain. I actually don’t see a big overlap between Wave and chat and Gmail for how people use it, but I suspect that was a big part of the problem. The uses where Wave was superior didn’t really catch on until Slack came on the scene and had MS and Google then scrambling to make similar tools.

Google Wave was actually pretty awesome. Google just had no idea what to do with it and it was too heavy for phones of the time.

Sure is

While certainly some people take it to a point that could be considered too far, I think that the reality is that you have to go very far if you want actual privacy today. I think most people either don’t know all the ways that their daily lives are being tracked and their activities are sold or they simply don’t care. To vast majority, doing anything that isn’t trivial is probably too far, and the more you talk about it with them, the more they will think it’s crazy. Most people of the older generation probably don’t “get it” or think it can be real, and very young people have probably never known privacy in their lives to much degree, so it can be a tough sell. I think Late Gen-X and Millienials are the main group that got to experience privacy when they were young and then saw it slowly eroded away in increasingly gross ways until it was gone.

I ditched reddit for good two years ago. Now I just use Lemmy, Tildes, and Lobste.rs

That seems bizarre based on the prices I see, maybe they are intentionally undercutting the others locally in your area specifically. Whole Foods was by far the cheapest place to buy eggs earliest this year and were obviously using them as a loss leader (we’re talking less than half the price of standard grocery stores in the same area).

I used it during the worst of covid, especially because where I lived had multiple accounts of people being assaulted for wearing a mask. I had no desire to have to fight some disease spreading moron just so I could get groceries.
