https://piefed.social/ has real good onboarding

Amazing thanks!! Seems to mostly be working for me.

@aeharding@vger.social I think I found a bug though:
Posts on https://piefed.social/c/southafrica don't load in the app

That was a major hurdle for me too

ChatGPT :(

Same, it feels surreal.

I was typing out in the comments that he should try nextcloud before I finished the video, and towards the end I saw that he was running Nextcloud. Fantastic

Even if it's 1% that adds up.

10x 1% increases is a big jump

It's more that it's redundant and takes up a lot of space, you can just use USB-C

Perhaps, but there are many waterproof USB-C devices that you can swim with, so I don't think it should be much of an issue.

I hope the EU pushes USB-C as the standard for more devices, I have 3 wireless shavers, they all use different charging ports. There is no reason they couldn't have all been USB-C

Aux can only carry two audio channels, if I wanted to plug my phone into a 5.1 Surround sounds system or something alike, Aux would be limiting.

USB-C has 24 pins, so it won't have that issue.

The jump from Aux to USB-C is a even bigger improvement than Tape to CD. All manufacturers etc. eventually had to switch from tape to digital, yes it's a lot of effort, but it needs to happen at some point.

I'm not arguing for a 2nd USB-C port, I think one is enough, but if you MUST have two ports, than USB-C offers so much more that Aux can't

Sometime in the not so distant past I could have said: "but a lot of radio's don't actually support CD's and I'm also not aware of cheap, radio's that use CD's, or a place to buy Cheap CD's"

At some point we had to ditch tapes for CD's or Digital media.

We can't just stay stuck in the past because it's convenient in the short term.

Realistically you don't NEED to do that, unless your battery is cooked. You can just charge your phone when not listening to music

If you really must then a simple splitter does the trick.

If this isn't acceptable, then I'd argue that phones should have two USB-C ports, instead of one Aux and one USB-C

USB-C can replace Aux

IMO, everything that can be USB-C should be, that way we can have one cable for everything.

Longer!! I want to see the light

I actually much prefer working with the 6.5mm Aux jack, but when every mm counts, you need to weigh up the pros and cons and see if 2.5mm, 3.5mm, 6.5mm or No Aux is best.

At some point technology moves on.

At some point we had to give up VHS for DVD It's time to let go of Aux just like we let go of VHS

The adapters are dirt cheap, buy doezen of them

You'd ultimately be sacrificing battery size for that Aux jack you hardly use. For most that's not worth it

Resorting to insults really?

3.5mm Aux takes up a shit load of space to connect 4 analog wires. If a phone has Aux it should at the very least be 2.5mm.

It makes no sense to me why you can't just use an adapter.

More battery > Redundant analog cable most people don't use anyway.

I might be a idiot as you say, but the people at Fairphone don't seem to be because they ditched AUX as they should have
