I brings back the headphone jack and high quality analog audio for those of us who care enough.

Good to know, thank you for sharing your experience! I may go with a different device and install Rockbox instead.

This is analog in the sense that it has a Digital to Analog "Cirrus Logic WM8523 DAC"converter and a 3.5mm headphone jack, so does indeed enable analog if you use a wired headphone, and it is absolutely a step in the right direction over shitty bluetooth quality audio.

I discovered Digital-to-Analog converters and vacuum tubes during the pandemic, replaced my whole setup for headphones and speakers after discovering Schiit Audio.

I do too, but the keyboard sells this for me. The split spacebar, customizable key layout, and mechanical keyboard is what I'm most interested in over anything else.

Thanks for this! I didn't know about Rockbox before.

Yeah I'm pretty excited about that, even if the layout is a bit wonky and the key sizes are a one-off (the left and right most fat "1u" keys look more like 1.25u so it might be a bit hard to get a custom keycap set going for it.

Ha those were fun! I had one and it became the dedicated Pandora music player for the kitchen for a few years.

As a new linux user I was overwhelmed by plasma and all the choices. I much prefer an OS and DE that feels like it isn't there and gets out of my way. It was all a bit too distracting, so I went back to Gnome like DEs (Cinnamon and now Cosmic).

Something like your suggestion, with basic settings first and then a deeper layer or toggle for advanced settings would have kept me on the platform longer.

When I click to post the comment, I get a loading circle gif that just spins forever. Tried waiting it out for a few minutes but nothing happens.

And to my knowledge lemmy doesnt do shadow bans so I would at keast know if I had been banned there.

Edit: previously I cleared cache, tried different browsers and devices, logged out and in again, nothing worked. I also just tested and I can't create posts from lemmy.world account either.

Edit2: looks like it was related to VPN use and some flagging of my session/connection, maybe cloudflare on lemmy.world
