Admittedly I tend to always see as a bad thing whenever I see phone models without headphone jacks, that said for the last five years I've been using phones without headphone jacks and using the wired headphones they came with is enough for the few times I need to use them.

There are just two subs I check about once every two days, but I'm yet to log in again after I disconnected my account last month. I used to only visit it through Libreddit as the UX is better anyway but now that one's gone too...

I agree, also the holding back of packages just for the sake of waiting probably doesn't make it more stable, despite what the devs say; also having 300+ packages updated at the same time might make it worse for troubleshooting in case something goes wrong.

As someone who actually started with Manjaro back in 2020 before moving to EndeavourOS after 9 months, I would say that there is indeed a steeper learning curve as you don't get for example a GUI package manager (Pamac is awful and even as a newbie I used it for maybe three days before I started to use the CLI, but a Linux beginner might want one) and the fact it is a true rolling release means you need to do some more research and maintenance, so I wouldn't call Endeavour a distro for absolute beginners, unless one is determined to learn a lot about how a computer works... but again one shouldn't probably use a rolling release then; Manjaro just tricks you to believe it is easier, but it probably is only if you don't use the AUR.

Maybe Garuda is more beginner friendly than EndeavourOS while avoiding most of the problems Manjaro has? Although I've never used it as I don't see any advantage over Endeavour, and I'm not a fan of excessive out of the box theming and Chaotic AUR enabled as default...

Congratulations! I'm about to try to get a professional assessment, although in the particular region of Italy where I live it's a long process for adults that involves getting appointments with two doctors before going to the "Regional Autism Centre". That has discouraged me for quite some time but this sort of limbo sometimes is hard to bear and now I just want to know it for certain...

Brave Search on all my personal devices, even though I'm getting worse results than up to a few months ago, so as much as it pains to admit it I sometimes use Google as a fallback (and the last time I actually used Google as my main search engine was back in 2012!). I probably should use metasearch engines more, though, but have been procrastinating learning how to effectively use them for a while now.

Aside from that, I have about a dozen sites saved with search keywords on Firefox (four of them are Wikipedia in different languages, though) that I use all the time.

Wow, glad I'm not the only one who had that impression. I have been using Brave Search for about half a year now and rarely had any problems finding what I was looking for, then eventually I started getting mostly older results, sometimes not even on topic.

I use the following ones (on Firefox), except for uBO the others are just for conveniency:

• Bitwarden
• Gesturefy (for some time from early 2021 to late 2022 I used to use Vivaldi as my primary browser and now if I'm using a mouse, not having gestures in a browser feels odd...)
• LibRedirect
• Plasma Integration
• uBlock Origin (middle mode and with some additional lists)
• User-Agent Switcher and Manager (if I find a site that says it doesn't work with Firefox).

• AntennaPod (podcast player)
• Authenticator Pro (2FA)
• Aves (gallery)
• Bitwarden
• Catima (for stores' reward cards)
• Etar (calendar)
• Geometric Weather
• Infinity for Reddit... as long as it works
• Joplin (note-taking software, synced with the desktop client)
• K-9 Mail
• Kvæsitso (launcher)
• Mull (Firefox fork)
• NetGuard (works in the background as a VPN to block network access to certain apps, for example I use it to block every network connection by Gboard)
• NewPipe
• Simple File Manager
• Tasks.org

I have an HP LaserJet P1005 from 15 years ago which mostly works fine with Hplip except that every once in a while it asks me to reinstall the proprietary plugin needed. I'm taking note of how other brands seem to work better but to be honest I print so little since I digitally sign everything that once I run out of toner it's far cheaper for me to have something printed in a shop than to replace it.

Really looking forward to the new calendar, I love Thunderbird as a mail client but I've always found calendar and reminders to be quite unintuitive to use and I often had problems with CalDAV sync.

As enthusiastic as I am about Lemmy, the fact that the handful of niche communities that I followed on Reddit might not ever get here is my biggest fear about the platform. That said, time will tell, and for now I'm enjoying using Lemmy in a way I hadn't used Reddit before.
