Maybe my tone was a bit negative, I definitely appreciate you posting this! Good to know about alternatives, I’ll keep them in mind if I am looking for new earbuds. For now I went back to wired oldschool earbuds and over ear headphones. Still using the beans though every now and then, just their battery life is slowly getting worse.

Interesting, hadn’t seen this before.

They keep emphasizing its comfortable, but it definitely does not look like it.

I’d like to believe it is but I also know that the majority of people online do not give a damn about user experience and things getting shittier. I do not understand these people, but its because of them this shit is still happening. If they all left sites like reddit there’d be no incentive to become shittier and shittier.

Not trying to shift blame though, in the first place its companies like reddit even coming up with strategy who are to blame.

I just hate how most earbuds these days are “in ear”. Still love using my old Samsung Beans, and I will always refuse to call them by their real product name.

You dynamically price them at $0.

I dynamically price them with 0 interest.

We are the same.

K9 on Android is now Thunderbird for Android. Aside from the older app versions, of course.

You went too far. You’re in the deep end.

Yes

Like everything else though. Even Bookwyrm, though there the data is maybe not harvested commercially.

Not quite. With a phone number a random phone provider knows your identity. They do not get notified you are signing up for Signals. Google doesn’t know you signed up with that phone number for Signals either. Depending on your country and how these details are handled there may not be an easy way to lookup who you are from a phone number.

There’s obvious downsides to the phone number use, of course, but saying it the same in terms of privacy than this, doesn’t feel correct.

The meme is so old, tapping cards to pay did not even exist.

Cool but I’ve been using Droidify and before that FoxyDroid. Always good to have choices.

I use that too but it doesn’t feel like it helps much anymore. Or it does help and search without it would be absolute hell.

You still get many links to weird webpages with tons and tons of fluff text without any real information important to you.

I do some origami here and there and use the search often to see if I can find a page with diagrams I don’t yet know about. There’s AI generated pages waffling on about origami diagrams with no actual diagrams shown. It is so sad to see.

You are right, they did end of last year. I however don’t know if they picked up again this year.

I was curious and found this site here that I have no clue how credible it is, looks very AI-sloppy, they claim up 25% from end of 2025 to beginning 2026 in Sweden (https://custommapposter.com/article/tesla-s-european-sales-collapse-44-drop-in-2026-what-s-going-wrong/2835).

Also tons of Teslas on the road here. During the time they were in the news for getting torched in the US, nothing of the sort happened here.

Ah, I made a scrollthrough and still missed it! Thanks for correcting me.
