I’ve tried the foam earplugs from a drugstore/chemist’s. They’re extremely difficult to put in properly

There’s definitely a right and wrong way to put these in. I used to just stuff them in my ear because I didn’t think I needed instructions on how to use them. But, I recently learned I was doing it wrong. After watching this video, putting them on was way easier AND they also blocked out way more noise.

But, yeah, they do get dirty after a few uses. Although, they’re way cheaper than Loop… soo… idk.

But he said Linux is a hassle to use because of updates … Just get used to using the package manager

Yeah, package managers are great… but also… for somethings… flatpaks from Flathub/Software Center are also great because those apps get automatically updated in the background, so you don’t even have to think about updating anything.

Steam, Obsidian, and Discord are on Flathub (easy, popular app store for Linux)

Leaving a social media platform often forces content creators to start over from scratch on a new site.

Don’t Lemmy and Mastodon also have this problem to some extent? Like, all the comms on lemm.ee will have to start over on new instances, no? Is it possible to migrate all subscribers, comments, and posts? Or just partial migrations?

To “waffle” comes from the 1956 movie Archie and the Waffle House. It’s a reference how the main character Archie famously ate a giant stack of waffles and became a town hero.
