That’s how I already hear. The way I’ve described it is that what I hear from my left ear sounds like I’ve got a really low quality Bluetooth earpiece in, like when you’re trying to listen to music and use the microphone at the same time on Bluetooth headphones so the bitrate drops down to accommodate.

Bone conduction headphones worked for me as well. Complete night and day difference for me.

I have literally the same condition, same symptoms. The dizziness came on when I was literally walking down the stairs at work; I nearly fell off the bottom step. I literally clung to the wall for support until I got to my desk and just sat in the swirling room until I puked into my trash can. From that moment on, my left ear couldn’t hear half as well and had a ringing in it. As long as I’m conscious,I have a ringing in that ear. It took me 3 weeks to regain my balance because that’s how long it took me to relearn my center of gravity. It took me 2ish years until I felt “normal” again, save for the heading loss.

What is it that rust is less preferable to?

My father physically and mentally abused me to the point that when I talked to friends I thought it was normal to ask how hard their beatings were for a particular infraction. My best friend reported him to CPS without telling me and he stopped putting his hands on me around age 14 (my mother would yell at him and tell him she didn’t want to go to jail, or him). I thought parents who didn’t beat their children were the most liberal parents imaginable. At my age 20 when I was home visiting from college, he nearly killed me and my mother via trying to flip the car into a ditch on the passenger side where we were both sitting because she let my younger sister drive his car on a joyride. I got into financial troubles after college and had to move back in with him. At my age 25 he got plastered drunk one night and voilently raped my mother in our trailer. Next morning I confronted him about it when he was stone cold sober and he grabbed me by neck and got in my face telling me to stay out of it or else he’d kill me. When I moved out, I didn’t feel “free” until I was in my mid 20s.

He’s about to inherit half my grandmother’s 700K house. He’s openly said he’s taking my mother’s inheritance too.

I have been told I’ll inherit 50K from my grandmother, but that’s not guaranteed because if my grandmother finds out I’m gay I most certainly get nothing.

Mexico may have French brands, but here in Sonora (I live in on the USA side), I’ve never seen any. Actually learned something new haha.

French cars are banned in the USA (also we use CCS1, moving to NACS, while y’all use CCS2 everywhere), but we have Volvo, Pollstar, and German brands everywhere. I wanted a Volvo for my new car, but they’re not rated for towing horses in the USA like they are in Europe (USA versions are rated half the towing capacity than in Europe).

Was in France for 3 weeks on holiday and saw almost exclusively Citroën, Renault, and Peugeot. My rental car was a Renault E Tech and after driving it,I looked into importing one to the USA (sadly it’s not possible for regulatory reasons).

It’s for the best. X11 is 40 something years old now and lacks any future proofing and security.

Please pet Sandy for me 🥺

I can’t make it more than an hour though the first Lord Of The Rings without falling asleep. It just doesn’t fancy me.

The multitouch trackpad for me is a great way to get the eye candy of having linear animations tied to your finger movement. In a practical sense, I use linear animations in MacOS to "peek" between desktops and pages in Safari all the time. The fact of the matter is that linear animations are just far smoother, and useful than ones that snap into place from a single input trigger. I even have a trackpad for my home desktop setup and literally don't use my traditional mouse unless I'm playing a game that doesn't support controllers.

A good example of this is to compare Windows's app exposé with the MacOS one. In Windows when you swipe up (or down? I forget which one) with 4 (3?) fingers, once you hit a certain point the app exposé just appears no matter how slow or fast you're doing the gesture. On MacOS, you can do the app expose gesture on the trackpad as slow or as fast as you want and it'll animate in time with the speed of your fingers doing the gesture.

in my searching I found XClipper, but unfortunately it's windows only on the PC side

Musk and Trump have both been open about using the H-1B visa program to find foreign workers who will work cheaply, and they do it so that they don’t have to pay American workers a fair amount.

That’s exactly what I’m saying

Only building outdated chips on an old fab process. And they’re having a hard time hiring Americans to work there.

Just wait until Silicon Valley Google coders are all Indian foreign born making 35K/year living on the Google campus. DEI works both ways.

sounds like a permanent clipboard history that you can search

that's exactly what PastePal is, and what I'm looking for

someone needs to figure out a root method for Samsung phones that doesn't trip Knox... I wish they weren't the only OEM that had a complete ecosystem...

Yeah, I’m basically going to have to refuse to use any app that’s lacking in Wayland support. Really no reason to build a Linux ecosystem that has legacy parts from the get go.

I’m in the test phase of all the available ones; KDE is by far my favorite, and I really like gnome as well (but I can’t use it because Dropbox relies on application status icons which are absent from gnome; I tried the extensions to bring that back but they didn’t work for me when I tried them a while back)
