Yeah, if you use earbuds, Bluetooth is so much better. I don’t know why wired earbuds are so garbage, but I had two die in three years. My headphones still work after seven, but the pads are worn off, so I stopped using them

They probably sound slightly differently, and have more historical value to them. I just digitized my grandfathers cassette collection, because it was his, and are a different experience (because of how cassettes sound).

They have expandable storage on a lot of cheaper phones, as well as Aux ports. I chose my phone, the A23 5g, over the A53 because of the Aux port, and it is still an amazing phone.

A lot of social media companies aren’t profitable, but they didn’t care because of cheap loans and lots of investors. Now that loans are more ecpensive and investors want AI, social media companies are realizing, “We need to make money, or investors will hate us”, and are locking things down. Twitter, Reddit, Youtube, and Tumblr are some of the examples we see. All trying to push subscriptions or block adblockers.

2010-2012 will work as well if no tech package. My 2010 Lexus RX350 has no touchscreen, but still has knobs and a backup camera on the back mirror. It’s wonderful.

Polytopia is awesome. It is free to play offline, and only requires one one time purchase to play online. No ads.

It is definitely possible, as RSS readers like ReadYou can do it. Maybe try FreshRSS in conjuction with an RSS reader?

I use ReadYou. Has more features and easier to understand than Feeder (at least for me).

Requires no permissions (except enabling notifications), can use local (on device) accounts. Only requires RSS links, no other data.

Supports notifications, have not tried it. Also likely requires background refresh, which I don’t use, so don’t know about that.

Also have that problem. V0.0.34 crashes, and V0.0.35 doesn’t work with Lemmy.world, so I had to switch to Liftoff
