Linux Mint is easier to use than Windows

So, there’s another Connect out there for something else? Or the poster above wants the maker of Connect for Lemmy to release their source code?

Have I missed something? I’m writing this comment using Connect for Lemmy

Ah, it’s the phones, I thought it was 12 year olds and was a commentary on the GOP or something

No worries, it makes sense now!

What does this have to do with Spain?

Nobody ever comes to the comments for The 51st State, despite it’s brilliance

Oof, there’s a long list and I wish I had time to do them all properly … my advice would be to find out what’s happening close to you that includes a social element and go try that. That’s how I got into archery and I’m really enjoying it because when I go to the club there’s always some friendly chatty people there :-)

Headset, as in headphones with a microphone. I use it for MS Teams meetings and a bit of music and it works fine.

The point OP was trying to make is that you can use USB-c for other things besides listening to music.

Since you seem to be an audiophile with a list of fancy headphones (don’t ask me, my Cardo combined with earplugs is fine for the level of listening I want to do) then wouldn’t an offboard DAC / amp that you could keep far longer than a phone, and isn’t restricted by size constraints going to be better than a built-in version?

Also, if you’re worried about e-waste maybe you shouldn’t buy so many headphones. My partner’s Sennheisers have lasted 20 years so far.

I very much like this idea, would be nice to be able to use a phone in more of a mini-computer manner, whereas at the moment they’re somewhat hamstrung.

I’m always surprised phone docks aren’t a thing, my work laptop has a USB-c dock that is bristling with ports that are useful.

a) I have a USB-c headset at work

b) the 3.5mm headphone jack can’t be used to transfer data (at a good rate)

Thank you!

This is probably a project for the winter when I’m literally snowed under instead of figuratively, plus I’m going on a little motorbike adventure in September so it would be nice to get a bit of useable video then to try it with too (using my old GoPro 1 clone)

Dirtbike handlebars, I don’t want my usual phone in a risky position. It runs off a USB socket from the bike’s electrics and I hotspot data from my regular phone.

I also have a Garmin Montana, but that’s quite big and bulky and overkill just to see where I am when I get lost.

I still use my HTC Android 1.2 phone for Google maps sometimes, some people will be out there still using them … I’m guessing it’s an old enough version that the still active devices are serviceable and well built.

Thank you, I’ll have to give it a go - some of them have a constant vibration on account of having been mounted on a motorbike, others are just a little unstable

Does anyone know of a FOSS video stabilization program that works without gyro data?

I have some old videos with vibration that would be great with a little smoothing out!

I have an account on sh.itjust.works … I use it when Beehaw is under maintenance, and only created it because I had problems logging in here on the first day of Redditmageddon. It’s not entirely horrible, but much closer to reddit’s frontpage than here.

Aside from using it to make jokes? It’s not bad, a legible sans-serif that renders well on low resolution screens. A lot of discussions about “clean” fonts seem to squabble over minutiae while the important part of being readable seems forgotten.

Thank you for getting the joke :-)

Not that I know of? I have Connect and Liftoff for Lemmy running fine, Tomb Raider Go and Pocket Rally work nicely, Firefox is supported, etc etc. I have a HTC with Android 1.2 on it that I use for Google Maps, which works better than the Android 7 phone, so I’m not entirely convinced that new is always better, lol
