  • I bought an expensive pair of “nice” headphones for an office job, but didn’t end up using them much. So, I put them back in their storage case and forgot about them. Two(+) years later I needed some for a flight and went to find them, only to discover that the fake shitty pleather cushion bits were peeling and shedding all over creation, despite sitting undisturbed in their case for 99% of their existence!

    In short, fuck those. Fuck them. Fuck every pair of over-the-ear headphones with their shitty fucking fakeass material that degrades under the pressure of existing! I’ll never buy another pair from any brand unless they solve this problem (that I’m convinced is planned obsolescence).













  • Can anyone recommend a distro and/or DE for my needs?? I have three beelink mini pcs (AMD Ryzen cpus) and I have three generic chinese touchscreen monitors that are on 24/7 displaying my homeassistant dashboard. I’ve got pop_os! on one of them, mint on another, and manjaro on another. None of them do a great job of handling the touchscreen UX very well. Maybe a mobile distro would be better? Also I can’t really find a web browser (or browser configuration) that seamlessly handles swiping and gestures and such. Chromium does okay, but seems to have a memory leak, and Firefox won’t swipe/scroll without a buncha hooey like custom launch args. All three distros annoy me with update popups and forcing me to enter passwords with the onscreen keyboard too frequently.

    I’m sure all of them would work better if I actually knew what I was doing, but any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
