Color me surprised to hear that then. The few times I had used them, I couldn't get over how uncomfortable they were for my ear (which is why I never used then much)

That totally depends on what headphones though. Apple's maybe, I wasn't really too discerning last time I had some of those, but on Android it was a mess. Samsung had decent ones some years, Google's were generally okay at best, and LOADS were just actual trash.

I'm in the minority on this myself, but I fully agree. Honestly, I don't even need the discount, tell me I can make a fraction less plastic waste and I'm pretty much there. When I got a new phone a couple years ago, I just put the cable at my desk so I had a spot to plug in misc stuff, but I definitely didn't need it.

Let's be honest though, included earbuds were pretty universally garbage and the world is probably better off without the ewaste.

That said, please bring back the headphone jack.

Last time I tried to get Wayland on KDE a few months ago, it was a bit of a pain to get it working properly and then it was pretty buggy. Admittedly this was months ago, on Nvidia, and regular updates on making it better have been coming pretty consistently.

I like a pretty much stock with tweaks KDE, personally. Nice and simple, utilitarian, but not necessarily minimal.

I've never really cared for the MacOS visual style though.

One is the right number. Two is too many.

What is this, a phone for ants? It should be at least three times this big.

No no, that's the correct reaction.

It is in your best interest to stay out, it is an unholy place.

Someone who was into it in High School, but not like they're into it.

I tried to get it to tell me how long it would take to eat a helicopter, as it's one of the model's pre-built prompts and thought it would be funny. Went through every AI coercive tactic that's been thrown around and it just repeatedly said no and that I should be respectful and responsible about the thing. It was quite aggressive and annoying about it.

I've questioned it before when I just didn't watch where it went, but it usually takes just a few seconds to figure it out most of the time.

Now Android on the other hand...

The friggin "definition of insanity" quote that is usually misattributed to Einstein. From some cursory research, a lot of first appearances of the quote come from the 80s, though I saw a few different sources from Narcotics Anonymous pamphlets to mystery novels.

You might need a new a different bed. That and exercising regularly completely killed my lower back pain.

I just wish it tacked my heart rate a little better while I'm working out. Mine loses track what seems like immediately once I start sweating a little. It can recover with a little jostle or sometimes moving the band up a notch if possible, but man it's annoying.

Man I love this album so much. I listened to it first in mid-late 2018 and it really sent me down a rabbit hole. Since then, King Gizzard has very much become my undisputed favorite band. Polygondwanaland is still perhaps my favorite album, I go out of my way to make listens extremely special so I don't wear it out for myself.

I think a more recent album that is closest to Polygondwanaland in concept is last year's Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms, and Lava where each song is supposed to use a different Greek musical mode.

My cynical take - it's what MacOS looks like and they've been throwing away their own identity to copy Apple for years now.

And you can make Acrobatics a class skill for super fuck you hard mode. I didn't know this as a 13 year old playing Oblivion, and I thought "levels good" and wondered why I couldn't get into the game for years until I learned about this little "quirk" of the leveling system.
