This is true. A moose once bit my sister.

The last 'r' is cropped on my phone, so I was parsing it as boner-aise, which makes wildly inappropriate sense.

Sync for Lemmy works this way. It's not free, but it is good, and IMO the dev is a fellow worth supporting after he got screwed by Reddit.

Thank you, you made my day.

I agree with you, but most tech support (tier 1‚ anyway) is just following a set of prompts anyway, so it's barely better. At least with the recording I can abuse it without feeling bad.

I had a problem with Verizon service, and the troubleshooting app (not audio prompts, just answering questions in the app) actually solved it in about 5 minutes, and introverted me didn't have to do a phone call or chat. So the experience can be good, sometimes.

I remember back in the 90's seeing news stories about the Taco Bell Doritos War in Iraq.

I finally got fed up with Evernote's increasingly aggressive paid upgrade requests. It would flash an "upgrade special" every time it opened and a followup, "Are you sure? You won't be able to get back to this offer". Like, please, let me not get back to the offer ever again.

I have been using Joplin with Dropbox sync. The UI is pretty good on Android and windows. Markdown input is easy to manage, it does checklists well (you can check and uncheck the boxes without going in to edit the note). The folder structure for organizing notes is good.

Not being able to share notes with other users is the main limitation. My wife and I have solved this by syncing with one dropbox account on with phones and computers and just having a folder for each or our personal notes plus the shared notes. But really it is all shared. I don't consider this ideal, but it's workable for now.

The dropbox sync is kind of slow / not very good if multiple people are making edits in real time, but I had this problem with Evernote too.

I think you can get more functionality out of the Joplin cloud sync, but I am already paying for Dropbox.

You always end up in one cage or another. But when it's your home, you don't see the bars.

Serious question: what do you not like about snaps? I find the isolation and dependency desolation to be pretty great.

I know what you meant, but now I am imagining a giant yellow dildo in each space to stop the car.

I use these:

TECNO B1 Bluetooth Headphones https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08X2JSMHZ

And they will reliably pair to two devices, including some combination of my laptop, phone, and TV. My only complaint is that sometimes when they are paired to my PC, they won't turn off until I unpair them.

They are pretty awkward with the neck weights, but the battery life is fantastic. They appear to have the same software in them as my older ones that were sold under the brand TaoTronics, which was banned from Amazon for something.

If you find something, please post back, I'd love to find a less awkward pair of headphones that does this.
