Started college at 2020 January. Information technology. I did well during the time I was there but whole covid thing just made me hate my school and like I needed change.

We were going back and forth remote and in person classes, both of which were really bad in terms of quality of the teaching and I felt like if I am mostly learning from external sources and teaching sucks.

I refused to attend in person classes due to covid risks despite it being kind of mandated so I managed to negotiate that I just study on my own and take the exams. And my grades didn’t even get worse.

I’m not the type of person to keep doing something I feel like is useless for a paper that might give me slight advantage for getting a job. Education itself is free in my country but I just hated getting more and more student debt to cover other my living costs.

I decided "fuck this I’m just gonna get a IT job and teach myself and that’s what I did. I wouldn’t say that I’m at my dream job now but I feel confident I am able to progress on this career just fine despite dropping out.

Some fork of youtube-dl would probably do. Personally I use JDownloader 2 (open source) to download not just from youtube but from any other sites as well. It runs locally.

Running FP4 myself, bought bit less than a year ago. If I can get it last significantly longer than phones usually do, I get another one. If not, I have to come up with something else.

No complaints so far but I do all the fancy stuff on PC so I don’t need much from my phone. Remains to be seen if it’s worth it.

Fuck, can’t use "don’t have webcam*as excuse anymore.

Around 750e for whole week, bigger pay for weekend and holidays. This is even if nothing happens, and in case I get calls, I clock that time and it is taken out of my 40h/week hours. I also have flexitime so I can sleep late if I get calls at night.

Based in EU and 2 other people doing it regularly and 1 extra, which is way too little. Basically at least one week/month.

I make much better money than I otherwise could get right now, so I tolerate it, but gonna be honest. I fucking hate doing on call. 40/h is already more than I would like to do, and with on call I have one or two weeks a month with no proper free time.

Oh well, it pays the bills for now, but if I got job with no on call but better base salary, I would take it in a heartbeat.

99% of those adapters are garbage that break down in month or so. I am writing this on FP4 but I am also salty audio engineer and I would honestly trade my phones cameras to aux jack, just to avoid hastle.

For me it was using command line (linux/vim/sql/powershell) at work, for same mundane tasks over and over. Due to that, I started remembering commands so I didn’t have to look it up, and was more comfortable trying something I hadn’t done before as well.

Same, although I thought it was due to some subreddits being private when I deleted and later coming back public. Took like 10 times to go through my profile and remove everything.

Fair point. I guess so much of it is spam so I never been exposed to actually worth it newsletter.

Don’t wanna start any argument about this but I don’t think I ever wanted to read a single email newsletter, whatever it is I want to read, I read it somewhere else.

Not my town, but there is a junk shop in main railway station, (sells clothing, shit like t-shirts with weed prints, pipes, random little trinkets). I can only assume rent is very expensive in such a central location, and I really can’t think of any way how that place is profitable. I only visited once as a teen since they sold us weed pipes even though I was underage. -There is a actual tobacco shop nearby, with much better selection. -There is never any customers -None of the products sold are very valuable, so they would have to sell lot of them to make profit -If you really wanted to buy cringe t-shirt, there is many shops for that around as well, all of which are well known compared to this one

Many business have gone under during the years in that location, replaced with others, but somehow this one place has been there over 10 years.

Got myself a fairphone 4 last year and I try to use it as long as possible.

Because all USB C to 3.5mm Aux adapters are flimsy as mother fuckers that break down after two months use. I would not even care otherwise, I never charge and listen at same time anyway.

If anyone has suggestions for adapter that is not made out of thinnest possible wire and is durable, let me know.

Also, I don’t want to buy USB-C headphones, since I would only use those with my phone, I want to use them also on other devices, and for compatibility it is better to have it analog instead of USB-C. If I were to buy headphones for phone only, I would just get wireless.

I often have use cases at work where I have to plug in my headphones to device I am not familiar with, for audio troubleshooting at our customers device. Most of the times USB is not an option, only standard analog audio.

Modern laptops also come with way too few USB ports, 2.0 and C combined, so I rather not waste one for audio since there is no reason for audio to go through USB. On my main PC I don’t use my internal soundcard but external audio interface for music production, and I want my headphones connected to that, not USB.

So in conclusion, USB-C headphones would be totally worthless to me, no matter the device. Even for phone, I rather go with adapter, or just wireless ones.
