I upvote interesting things brought to my attention. It doesn't necessarily mean I agree with them.

Be the change you want to see. Start a community, advertise it, start bring the reddit folks over here.

There's also those that sue for political reasons and not for money. Perhaps we need more lawyers to step up and offer their services pro bono to fediverse admins. The admins are volunteering their time for you. Might as well return the favor.

From the article:

Perhaps curiously, she advocated users of public Wi-Fi should “install a reputable virtual private network (VPN) on your devices to encrypt and secure your data when using the internet.”

Though I'm not sure why "curiously".

Ist genauso wie bei Alkohol. Und wird wahrscheinlich genauso gut kontrolliert... Denk doch an die Kinder! (/s).

Dead man ist ein Meisterwerk. Einer meiner Lieblingsfilme. Kann ich nur empfehlen.

Zigarren und Pfeifen rieche ich ja gerne. Aber der Zigarettengeruch ist mir zuwider. Grass riecht eigentlich recht gut (subjektiv).

A friend of mine once made a bacon chocolate gelato and it was divine. 10/10 would recommend. And now that you brought it to my mind, I'm jonesing for it..

I have a master's degrees, but I doubt that matters. My experience mirrors yours: five minutes (except for waiting times to get approved). I agree with your conclusion.

Nah. That ship has sailed. I enjoy learning new things, and was never a reddit power user, so I'll just get more and more familiar with lemmy and stay here.

They're Resound Quattro's. They're connected directly to the phone, no extra hardware required, though you need the Android app installed to make it work. Can't just pair them with any random device that talks Bluetooth (like my tv!).

Yes, I can (and do) listen to podcasts and music with them(1), but the audio quality is necessarily not on par with even a cheap set of Bluetooth headphones. Hearing aids are tuned to let you hear conversation and your surroundings more, and don't really have much in the way of bass 😅 It's "serviceable" at best.

They are always connected and I can even receive phone calls on them, BUT they don't have microphones (at least none it lets Bluetooth use) and so I have to speak into the phone, but at least I can hear via hearing aids.

I can usually go all day with batteries. Depends on how hard the hearing aids have to work, I think. Some days they conk out early evening, but most days they last until midnight. I'm not sure I know the exact reason. Doesn't seem to depend on how much I use the Bluetooth connection.

But hearing aids are a VERY personal thing. Like shoes: some are cut wider and fit your foot better. I can tell you I'm pretty happy with mine (4 years old so all manufacturers have made a lot of progress since then!), but you really need to try a few to see how the audio quality sounds to YOU (and the kind and level of your hearing loss).

Good luck!

(1) I got hearing aids because I got tired of saying "what?" all the time. Now I have hearing aids and still say "what?" all the time, because I'm usually listening to a podcast and need to turn it off first 🤣

The thought had occurred to me as well, when right after upgrade my Bluetooth seemed to cycle on and off a few times before stabilizing

I might try to remove the pairing and redo it (not a trivial process with hearing aids, but not super complicated, either).

Colorado kann ich mich nur anschließen. Ich bin da vor Jahrzehnten in die Schule gegangen (und gearbeitet) und finde die Gegend immer wieder toll wenn ich Freune besuchen gehe.

Der Tip eine Tour nach Utah zu machen stimme ich auch voll zu. In der Gegend ist viel zu sehen und viel zu machen. Bleib von der interstate (Autobahn) fern und fahre die Landstraßen.

For me I've seen some flickering only when there's pictures embedded in the comments section. If I scroll past text-only comments (the majority), no problem. A picture appears? It starts jumping and shaking for the comments after (and including) the picture.

Latest jerboa as far as I know. Android 13, pixel 7a.
