I mostly read things here. Sometimes I’ll write a thing. Outside of Lemmy, I read things. Sometimes I’ll write a thing. Like software documentation. Or maybe something else. Who knows what the day will bring.

  • No. Not at all.

    Honestly, I hated the wire part of my wired headphones for years. I tend to listen to things while I’m doing chores around the house and I can’t tell you the amount of times the cable caught on something and sent my earbuds or my phone careening to the floor. Or was forced to untangle myself from a door knob. Or forgot I had earbuds on and stood up from my desk only to throw my phone to the ground.

    I went on a bit of a journey with bt headphones but eventually got a pair of Sony Linkbuds and a $30 Bluetooth thingy for my car that plugs into the aux jack, and never looked back. Every other day I plug the case in on my nightstand along with my phone. Nbd. Linkbuds don’t have the best sound quality I’ve ever experienced in BT buds, but the comfort wins over all others.

    I also recently got a pair of PineBuds Pro for $70 and man that battery case is legit. I only have to charge that beast once a week. Just waiting on someone to release a better sound profile for those things because they are BAASSSY. But beyond the bass, the potential sound quality is actually quite good. I’m looking forward to what the pine64 community does with these.

    I’ll also say that I have audiophile hearing (I’ve been tested) and I absolutely hear the difference in sound quality using BT and a good set of cans - when it comes to earbuds, the difference is negligible between wired and wireless. Given that 1. I’m more often listening to words than music from my phone and 2. The convenience, I’ll go for wireless more often than not if given the option. Plus, outside of niche phones and defunct LG phones, I never saw a headphone jack that could properly drive a good set of cans. There are way more output devices I would choose over a phone to drive high quality audio.

    That all said, do I think manufacturers should remove the headphone jack? No. Apple did it to sell more airpods. Everyone else did it to save a nickle on their costs. Just because I don’t use it doesn’t mean it should go away. If anything, there’s an accessibility element. BT buds are expensive. USB-C / Lightning buds are expensive. Aux buds are cheap. And wired buds are the easiest and cheapest way for someone to get audio out of a phone or talk on the phobe without fucking holding it in the air to broadcast their conversation to the world. And for that reason, I think the jack should ABSOLUTELY come back.




  • This part offers some more interesting insight to his character. Yet another insecure c-suite lashing out at anyone who criticizes him.

    The letter, jointly written by three members of the class of 2023 and published on the school newspaper’s website in May, was reported Friday by New York Magazine as part of a story on unrest within Goldman Sachs over Solomon’s management style.

    Solomon oversaw record results for Goldman Sachs in 2021, and the stock is up more than 50% since he took over almost five years ago. But he’s faced elements of revolt from the firm’s powerful cadre of partners over issues tied to the business, such as the costly consumer-banking flop, and some specific to Solomon himself — complaining about his brusque management style and his use of the corporate jet for leisure.

    A growing list of senior departures has also drawn attention, with some executives departing soon after taking new posts, and some top women exiting amid criticism about the firm’s culture. The tally includes executives Solomon has elevated, like Julian Salisbury, who left last month for Sixth Street Partners.

    But what if poo piles are literally coming out if it multiple times a day and being sprayed from it with every fart and anal pucker.

    Sure, a pussy can be dirty. But if a pussy is dirty, guaranteed the ass is toxic. If a woman is going to clean either, it’s going to be the pussy. A woman with a clean pussy still needs to do some prep before you go chowing on her ass.

    Plus, the pussy has a self-cleaning mechanism. So even a woman with average hygiene (takes a shower occasionally) will have a pussy that’s generally safe for consumption, notwithstanding any STDs.

    The ass’ only job is to jettison waste from your body. It’s literally just a shute for poop. It doesn’t clean itself because it doesn’t need to. It’s gross because that’s its job. A lady will need to be asked to do extra work to clean that shit up for you. Which is fine in the bounds of a relationship with trust and communication…

    But it seems a little unreasonable to expect that of a random encounter with Daphne or Velma.

    I’m not gatekeeping. You want to eat ass and your partner is okay with it and doing the prep to make it safe? Go for it.

    But I guarantee you that most of the people on the internet claiming to want to eat ass have ever or will ever place their tongue on an asshole.

    I get that people that are really into anal play do a lot of prep to make the ass safer and more appealing. I get that safe ass eating is a thing and takes some prep.

    But that also means it’s a highly specific sexual act that takes a lot of prep, conversations, and assurances of consent. Ass eating isn’t something you do unless you’re in a committed relationship with a fair amount of trust.

    The authors of ass eating memes aren’t taking in this context. Instead, the meme is more like “man, I’d like to eat that random person’s ass out of nowhere without any prompting”. And what I’m saying is that 9 times out of 10, that person’s ass is fucking nasty at that moment.

    Now if they wanted to do it right, it would be more like, " man I’d love to date that woman for a while, fool around a bit, bring up the idea of ass eating, buy some dental dams, wait for her to douche and clean her asshole thoroughly, and then go to town on that specific hole". But that’s not what they’re doing.

    Why is it that so much of the internet wants to stick a tongue in an asshole? You realize that only porn stars do anything more than wipe and shower. You’re literally eating shit. Which is a great way to get wierd diseases or start involuntary vomit attacks in a supposedly sexy moment.

    You know what’s better than ass? You know what tastes better and is self cleaning and an actual pleasure center? Pussy.

    You deserve a finer dining experience. Eat pussy instead.
