OK I read the bandcamp thing and… It’s not enshittification at all. Can we stop applying the term to every online service that kinda gets slightly worse for some reason or another?
Just in case:
Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification
None of those things happened with Bandcamp
This. Also, third part clients are usually just web wrappers for the actual official site
What is your issue exactly here? The fact that this could go against the GDPR? If that’s the case, I don’t see how a third party client would help. IG would still collect info about you and show you ads. Also, you would probably get the same popup asking if you want to subscribe. Nothing would change (except that with a third party client IG would not be able to collect as much info about you as with the official app)
Anyways, you still have the option to not pay and keep using IG as before. Nothing changes.
Probably my favorite pieces of software from Europe (not strictly the EU) are
Proton (ProtonMail, Proton Calendar, etc) - Switzerland
Inoreader (probably the best RSS reader ever - and I’ve tried lots) - Bulgaria
The hardware is great, though. Have you tried installing LineageOS on your phone? I’m guessing a lot of your issues would disappear
Sony could do wonders with these phones, if only they would market them properly. And yet…
I certainly hope not!
The Zenfone line will not be discontinued. Asus confirmed it
I transitioned e-mail address twice. What has worked for me is doing it slowly. Keep the old address around: from time to time you’ll get emails from services you did not even remember being subscribed to. Also, if you don’t use a password manager, now it’s the perfect time to start. I suggest Bitwaden
Instagram, FB Mesenger, SMS…? IDK why you guys don’t just use WhatsApp. It’s the standard messaging app everywhere in the world (except the US, of course)
EDIT: Wow, lots of people in denial ITT. Look, it’s simple: you can hate Meta/Facebook as much as you want (and I do), but you can’t deny that WhatsApp is a great product, feature-wise. People who compare it to SMS, Instagram chat, FB messenger or anything else (yes, including Matrix) are honestly laughable. The only service that can hold a candle against it is perhaps Telegram
Totally forgot about Fostex! I fear that’s not my cup of tea, though
That’s a good thing. We desperately need good planar headphones. Right now Audeze and Hifiman have basically the same frequency response with that 2k dip. I would love to hear a different-sounding planar
I’ll have to check out Omni, I’ve never used it!
When I’m on the go I use the Samsung Buds+
When at work, the Linsoul Kiwi Ears Cadenza and the AKG K371
When at home, I rotate between the AKG K702 (my favorites), the Sundaras and the Truthear Hexa
For real? That’s very good news, last time I checked on XDA there were none. What I would absolutely love is an official Lineage port, but those usually take a lot of time
Same. Zenfone 9 still has no ROMs available, unfortunatley
AOSP-derived ROMs like LineageOS, Copperhead, GrapheneOS and Calyx are specifically developed as alternative android distributions that do not rely on Google to function
Engy is a relaxing class only if you play on Capture the flag. The other modes are pretty stressful lol. But yeah, I usually also go for the Engy. Scout if I feel particularly adventurous, sometimes Sniper on 2Fort. Spy intrigues me but I’m just not able to use it, I’m a disaster.
